Release Notes for 2004
######################

mm-dd
*****

12-11
=====
The documentation for the CppAD error macros was improved.
The package title in :ref:`user_guide-name` was changed.
The documentation for :ref:`CppAD::vector<CppAD_vector-name>`
was improved and the corresponding source code
``cppad/vector.hpp`` was included.

12-09
=====
The :ref:`LuSolve-name` and ``OdeRunge`` source code
was modified to make the more in line with the introduction
to C++ AD book
(``OdeRunge`` has been replaced by :ref:`Runge45-name` ).
In addition, the examples ``OdeRunge.cpp`` and
:ref:`lu_solve.cpp-name` were modified to make the simpler.
(The more complex version of ``OdeRunge.cpp``
was moved to the ``TestMore`` directory.)

12-03
=====
The :ref:`Poly-name` documentation and source code were modified to
make them more in line with the introduction to C++ AD book.

11-17
=====
Changing to Autoconf and Automake on
:ref:`2004@mm-dd@08-24` mistakenly forgot
the ``-Wall`` compiler switch (all warnings).
This has been added and the corresponding warnings
have been fixed.

11-16
=====
The 11-15 Debug version would not compile under Visual C++ version 7.0
because a declaration of ``LessThanOrZero`` was missing.
This has been fixed.

11-15
=====
The :ref:`ForOne-name` and :ref:`RevOne-name`
easy to use  :ref:`Drivers-name` were added.

11-14
=====
The notation in the :ref:`ADFun-name` sections was changed
to make the :ref:`Forward-name` and :ref:`Reverse-name` routines
easier to use.

11-13
=====
The Taylor coefficient vector and matrix notation was folded into
just :ref:`Taylor coefficients<glossary@Taylor Coefficient>` .

11-12
=====
If ``NDEBUG`` is not defined during compile time,
all ``AD`` < *Base* >
:ref:`comparison<Compare-name>` operations are checked during
:ref:`zero order<forward_zero-name>` forward mode calculations.
The
:ref:`CompareChange-name` function
returns the number of comparison operations that have changed.

11-10
=====
The :ref:`get_started.cpp-name` example was changed to use the
:ref:`Jacobian-name` driver.
In addition, more index entries,
that point to the :ref:`easy to use drivers<Drivers-name>` ,
were added.

11-04
=====
The Microsoft Visual Studio
project file ``example/Example.dsp/`` was missing some
new examples that needed to be linked in
the install windows procedure.
This has been fixed.

11-02
=====
The :ref:`unix installation<configure-name>` required the user
to touch the files to get the dates in proper order.
This is no longer necessary.

11-01
=====
Some of the dependency directories and files, for example
``PrintFor/.deps`` and
``PrintFor/.deps/PrintFor.Po`` had an extra ``?``
at the end of their names.
This seems to have been fixed by using a newer version of the autoconf
and automake tools.

10-29
=====
Add the example and test :ref:`simple_vector.cpp-name`
to the :ref:`SimpleVector-name` documentation.

The specifications for
:ref:`preprocessor symbols<preprocessor-name>`
state that all the CppAD preprocessor symbols
begin with ``CppAD``
(so they do not conflict with other packages).
Some preprocessor symbols in the file ``cppad/config.h`` did
began with ``WITH_`` .
This has been fixed.

10-28
=====
The examples
:ref:`hes_lu_det.cpp-name` ,
:ref:`hes_minor_det.cpp-name` ,
:ref:`jac_lu_det.cpp-name` ,
and
:ref:`jac_minor_det.cpp-name` used the negative of a ``size_t`` value.
The value has been changed to an ``int`` .

The :ref:`CppAD::vector<CppAD_vector-name>` template class
was converted into a library routine so it can be used
separately from the rest of CppAD.

10-27
=====
The :ref:`PrintFor-name` example was moved to its own directory
because the conversion from VC 6.0 to VC 7.0 projects
did not work when there were multiple executables in one project file.
The :ref:`install-name` instructions were modified to reflect this change.

10-21
=====
One declaration (for the :ref:`Value-name` function) was missing
from the file ``cppad/local/Declare.h`` .
This has been added and CppAD should now compile and run
under both Microsoft VC 6.0 and 7.0.

10-19
=====
The current version of CppAD has a problem compiling under Microsoft
Visual C++ version 7.0 (it compiles and works under version 6.0).
The problem appears to be due to a closer agreement between VC 7.0 and the
C++ standard for declaring templates functions as friends.
Some friend declarations were removed and others were made more specific
in order to migrate the a version that will compile and run using VC 7.0.

10-16
=====
The example :ref:`compare.cpp-name` displayed the text from
:ref:`bool_fun.cpp-name` by mistake.
This has been fixed.

The :ref:`Compare-name` operators have been extended to work with
``int`` operands.

10-06
=====
The test
``TapeDetLu`` was added to ``speed_cppad/DetLuSpeed.cpp``
and
``TapeDetMinor`` was added to ``speed_cppad/DetMinorSpeed.cpp`` .
These tests just tape the calculations without computing any derivatives.
Using this, and the other tests, one can to separate the taping time
from the derivative calculation time.

The
windows installation steps
do not build a ``config.h`` file.
Hence a default ``config.h`` file was added to the
distribution for use with Microsoft Visual Studio.

The ``Distribute`` section of the
developer documentation was brought up to date.

Links to the ADOLC and FADBAD download pages were added
to the :ref:`unix installation<configure-name>` instructions.

09-29
=====
The include files for the :ref:`utilities<utility-name>` are now included
by the root file ``cppad/cppad.hpp`` .
They can still be included individually with out the rest of
the CppAD package.

09-26
=====
The routine ``OdeRunge`` was modified
so that it will now integrate functions of a complex arguments.
This was done by removing
all uses of greater than and less than comparisons were removed.
(``OdeRunge`` has been replaced by :ref:`Runge45-name` ).

The changes on :ref:`2004@mm-dd@09-21` did not fix all
the file date and time problems; i.e., automake was still running
in response to the :ref:`unix installation<configure-name>`
``make`` command.

09-23
=====
There was a reference to *B* that should have been *X*
in the description of the
:ref:`LuSolve@X` argument of ``LuSolve`` .
This has been fixed.

09-21
=====
The :ref:`CondExp-name` function has been modified so that it works properly
for ``AD< AD<`` *Base* > > types; i.e.,
it now works for multiple levels of taping.

The date of the files ``aclocal.m4`` and ``config.h.in``
were later than the date of top level ``Makefile.am`` .
This caused the ``make`` command during the
:ref:`unix installation<configure-name>`
to try to run ``autoconf``
and this did not work on systems with very old versions of ``autoconf`` .
This has been fixed.

09-13
=====
The examples that are specific to an operation were moved
to be below that operation in the documentation tree.
For example
:ref:`add.cpp-name` is below :ref:`ad_binary-name`
in the documentation tree.

09-10
=====
The version released on 04-09-09 did not have the
new file ``PrintFor.h`` in ``cppad/local`` .
This has been fixed.

The *Base* type requirements were simplified.

The :ref:`Unix installation<configure-name>` instructions
were modified so just one make command was executed at the top level.
This was necessary because the order of the makes is now important
(as previously suggested, the makes did not work properly).

09-09
=====
The :ref:`PrintFor-name` function was added so that
users can debug the computation of function values
at arguments that are different from those used when taping.

09-07
=====
In the :ref:`Unix installation<configure-name>` instructions
place ``./`` in front of current directory program names; for example,
``./GetStarted`` instead of ``GetStarted``
(because some unix systems do not have the current directory
in the default executable path).

09-04
=====
A library containing the
:ref:`SpeedTest-name` and :ref:`NearEqual-name` object files
was added to the distribution.

All of the include files of the form
< ``cppad/library/`` *name* . ``h>`` were moved to
< ``cppad/`` *name* . ``h>`` .

09-02
=====
Some more messages were added to the output of ``configure``
during the :ref:`Unix installation<configure-name>` .

The suggested compression program during
Windows installation
was changed from
`7-zip <https://7-zip.org/>`_
to
`WinZip <https://www.winzip.com/en/>`_.

08-27
=====
The error messages printed by the default version of
the CppAD error macros had ``YY-MM-DD`` in place of the
date for the current version.
This has been fixed.

All the correctness tests are now compiled with the ``-g``
command line option
(the speed tests are still compiled with ``-O2 -DNDEBUG`` ).

The :ref:`installation instructions<Install-name>` for
Unix and Windows were split into separate pages.

08-25
=====
The :ref:`installation<Install-name>` now automates the replacement
of :ref:`CppAD::vector<CppAD_vector-name>` by
either the ``std::vector``
or ``boost::numeric::ublas::vector`` .

08-24
=====
This date marks the first release that uses
the Gnu tools Autoconf and Automake.
This automates the building of the make files for the
:ref:`installation<Install-name>` and is the standard
way to distribute open source software.
This caused some organizational changes,
for example, the :ref:`GetStarted<get_started.cpp-name>` example now
has its own directory and
the distribution directory is named

   ``cppad-`` *yy* ``-`` *mm* ``-`` *dd*

where *yy* ``-`` *mm* ``-`` *dd* is the year, month and date
of the distribution.
(Note the distribution directory is different from the directory
where CppAD is finally installed.)

08-12
=====
Move ``OdeExplicit`` into the ``cppad/library/`` directory.
In addition, change it so that the vector type was a template argument; i.e.,
works for any type of vector (not just ``CppADvector`` ).

07-31
=====
Move :ref:`LuSolve-name` into the ``cppad/library/`` directory.
In addition, change it so that the vector type was a template argument; i.e.,
works for any type of vector (not just ``CppADvector`` ).

07-08
=====
The file ``cppad/example/NearEqual.h`` has been moved
to ``cppad/example/NearEqualExt.h`` because it contains
extensions of the :ref:`NearEqual-name` routine to ``AD`` types.

07-07
=====
The ``double`` and ``std::complex<double>``
cases for the :ref:`NearEqual-name` routine arguments
has been moved to the general purpose :ref:`utilities<utility-name>` .

07-03
=====
The CppAD error macros names
``CppADExternalAssert`` and ``CppADInternalAssert``
were changed to
``CppADUsageError`` and ``CppADUnknownError`` .
The :ref:`SpeedTest-name` routine was changed to use ``CppADUsageError``
instead of a C assert.

07-02
=====
The :ref:`SpeedTest-name` output was improved so that the columns of
values line up. Previously, this was not the case when
the number of digits in the size changed.

06-29
=====
Added code to trap and report memory allocation errors during
``new`` operations.

06-25
=====
A discussion of the order dependence of the
:ref:`assignment<ad_assign-name>` operator
and the
:ref:`independent function<Independent-name>`
was added to the
:ref:`Faq<Faq@Assignment and Independent>` .
In addition,
a similar discussion
was added to the documentation for the
:ref:`Independent-name` function.

The definition of a
:ref:`glossary@Parameter`
and
:ref:`glossary@Variable`
were changed to reflect that fact that
these are time dependent (current) properties
of an ``AD`` < *Base* > object.

06-12
=====
All of the
:ref:`arithmetic operators<Arithmetic-name>`
(except for the unary operators)
can now accept ``int`` arguments.
The documentation for these arguments has been changed to reflect this.
In addition,
the corresponding test cases have been changed to test this and to
test high order derivative cases.
The old versions of these tests were moved into the
``cppad/Test`` directory.

06-04
=====
The :ref:`atan2-name` function was added.

06-03
=====
The ``asin`` and ``acos``
:ref:`unary_standard_math-name` functions were added.

There was a bug the reverse mode theory and calculation of
derivatives of :ref:`sqrt-name` for fourth and higher orders.
This has been fixed.
In addition,
the following examples have been changed
so that they test derivative up to fifth order:
:ref:`asin<Asin.cpp-name>` ,
:ref:`atan<atan.cpp-name>` ,
:ref:`cos<cos.cpp-name>` ,
:ref:`exp<exp.cpp-name>` ,
:ref:`log<log.cpp-name>` ,
:ref:`sin<sin.cpp-name>` ,
:ref:`sqrt<sqrt.cpp-name>` .

06-01
=====
There was a bug in the :ref:`atan-name` function
:ref:`forward mode<Forward-name>` calculations for Taylor coefficient
orders greater than two.
This has been fixed.

05-30
=====
The :ref:`sin<sin.cpp-name>` and :ref:`cos<cos.cpp-name>` examples were
changed so that they tested higher order derivatives.

05-29
=====
The forward mode recursion formulas for each of the
:ref:`standard math functions<forward_theory@Standard Math Functions@Cases that Apply Recursion Above>`
has been split into separate sections.

A roman (instead of italic) font was used for the name of
for the name of each of the standard math functions
in the assumption statements below the section
for the standard math functions.
For example, :math:`\sin(x)` instead of :math:`sin(x)`.

05-26
=====
In the documentation for :ref:`Poly-name` ,
the reference to ``example/Poly.h``
was corrected to ``cppad/library/Poly.h`` .

In the documentation for :ref:`SpeedTest-name` ,
the reference to ``Lib/SpeedTest.h``
was corrected to ``cppad/library/SpeedTest.h`` .
In addition, the example case was corrected.

In :ref:`Reverse-name` , the definition for :math:`U(t, u)` had
:math:`t^p-1` where it should have had :math:`t^{p-1}`.
This has been fixed.

05-25
=====
The special case where the second argument to the :ref:`pow-name` function is an
``int`` has been added.

05-14
=====
Change all of the include syntax

   # ``include`` " *filename* "

to the syntax

   # ``include`` < *filename* >

so that examples and other use better reflect how one would use CppAD after
it was installed in a standard include directory; for example
``/usr/local/include/cppad`` .

The user documentation was moved from the directory
``cppad/User`` to the directory ``cppad/Doc`` .

The directory ``cppad/Lib`` was moved to ``cppad/library``
to reflect that fact that it is not what one expects in a standard
``lib`` directory or a standard ``include`` directory.

05-12
=====
The string ``YY-MM-DD`` in the preprocessor symbol ``CppADVersion``
was not being replaced by the current date during distribution.
This resulted in the ``CppADExternalAssert`` macro printing
``YY-MM-DD`` where is should have printed the date of distribution.
This has been fixed.

All of the include commands of the form

| |tab| # ``include`` " ``include/`` *name* . ``h`` "
| |tab| # ``include`` " ``lib/`` *name* . ``h`` "

have been changed to the form

| |tab| # ``include`` " ``cppad/include/`` *name* . ``h`` "
| |tab| # ``include`` " ``cppad/lib/`` *name* . ``h`` "

This will avoid mistakenly loading a file from another package
that is in the set of directories being searched by the compiler.
It is therefore necessary to specify that the directory above the
``CppAD`` directory be searched by the compiler.
For example,
if ``CppAD`` is in ``/usr/local/cppad`` ,
you must specify that ``/usr/local`` be searched by the compiler.
Note that if ``/usr/local/cppad/`` is no longer searched,
you will have to change
::

   # include "cppad.hpp"

to::

   # include "cppad/cppad.hpp"

The window ``nmake`` file ``Speed/Speed.mak`` was out of date.
This has been fixed.

05-09
=====
Move :ref:`Poly-name` and :ref:`SpeedTest-name` into the
``cppad/Lib`` directory and the ``CppAD`` namespace.

05-07
=====
The :ref:`divide operator tests<div.cpp-name>` were extended to
include a second order derivative calculation using reverse mode.

The :ref:`Poly-name` routine was modified to be more efficient in the
derivative case. In addition, it was changed to use an arbitrary
vector for the coefficients (not just a ``CppADvector`` ).

05-04
=====
A reloading of the data base
caused the files ``include/atan.h`` and ``include/cos.h`` to be
mistakenly started with lower case letters.
These have been moved to ``include/Atan.h`` and ``include/Cos.h``
respectively.

05-03
=====
The :ref:`Reverse-name` mode calculations for
:ref:`conditional expressions<CondExp-name>` were mistakenly left out.
This has been fixed.

04-29
=====
The unary functions, such as :ref:`sin-name` and :ref:`cos-name` ,
were not defined for elements of an :ref:`VecAD-name` vector.
This has been fixed.

04-28
=====
The operator :ref:`\<\<<CppAD_vector@Output>` was added to the
default ``test_vector`` template class.

A FADBAD correctness and speed comparison with CppAD
was added.

04-25
=====
Factor out common sub-expressions in order to make
:ref:`lu_vec_ad.cpp-name` faster.

Convert description
from C++ Automatic Differentiation to C++ Algorithmic Differentiation.

04-24
=====
The :ref:`VecAD-name` element class is no longer
a derived class of the :ref:`AD-name` class.
This enabled a decrease in tape memory
and an increase in the speed for :ref:`VecAD-name` operations.

The :ref:`log10-name` function was added.

04-22
=====
Add :ref:`CondExp-name` and use it to speed up :ref:`lu_vec_ad.cpp-name` .

04-21
=====
Use :ref:`abs-name` to speed up :ref:`lu_vec_ad.cpp-name` .

04-20
=====
The :ref:`absolute value<abs-name>` function was added.

The value *n* for
``OdeExplicit`` and ``OdeImplicit``
is deduced from the argument *x0* and is not passed
as a separate argument.
This documentation has been fixed to this effect.

04-19
=====
The :ref:`+=<compound_assign-name>` operator did not function correctly
when the left hand operand was a
:ref:`glossary@Parameter`
and the right hand operand was a variable
(found by `Mike Dodds <mailto:magister@u.washington.edu>`_).
This has been fixed.

04-09
=====
Adding special operators for using parameters to index ``VecAD`` objects
increased the speed and reduced the memory requirements (by about 20%) for
the :ref:`VecAD-name` case in the ``speed_cppad/LuSolveSpeed.cpp/`` test.

The :ref:`VecAD-name` objects are not being handled correctly by the
:ref:`Reverse-name` function.
The ``VecAD`` test was extended to demonstrate the problem
and the problem was fixed
(it is now part of ``TestMore/VecAD`` ).

04-08
=====
The example :ref:`lu_vec_ad_ok.cpp-name`
uses :ref:`VecAD-name` to executes different pivoting operations
during the solution of linear equations with out having to retape.

The speed test ``speed_cppad/LuSolveSpeed.cpp/`` has been added.
It shows that the initial implementation of :ref:`VecAD-name` is slow
(and uses a lot of memory.)
In fact,
it is faster to use :ref:`LuSolve-name` and retape for each set of equations
than it is to use :ref:`lu_vec_ad.cpp-name` and not have to retape.
This test will help us improve the speed of :ref:`lu_vec_ad.cpp-name` .

04-07
=====
There were bugs in the assignment to :ref:`VecAD-name` elements
during taping that have been fixed.
In addition, an example of tapping the pivoting operations in
an :ref:`Lu factorization<lu_vec_ad.cpp-name>` has been added.

04-03
=====
Added ``size_t`` indexing to the :ref:`VecAD-name` class.

Fixed a bug connected to the :ref:`VecAD-name` class and erasing the tape.

04-02
=====
Some memory savings is done with regard to equal parameter values
being stored in the tape. There was a bug in this logic when parameter
in an ``AD< AD<`` *Base* > > class had values that were variables in the
``AD`` < *Base* > class.
This has been fixed.

04-01
=====
The name of the class that tapes indexing operations
was changed from ``ADVec`` to :ref:`VecAD-name` .
This class was extended so that
the value of elements in these vectors can be variables
(need not be :ref:`parameters<glossary@Parameter>` ).

03-30
=====
Do some simple searching of the parameter table during taping
avoid multiple copies of parameters on tape (use less tape memory).

03-28
=====
The version :ref:`ADVec<VecAD-name>` ,
a vector class that tapes indexing operations,
is now available.
It is currently restricted by the fact that all the
values in the vector must be
:ref:`parameters<Glossary@Parameter>` .

03-25
=====
The internal taping structure has been changed to have variable length
instructions.
This is to save memory on the tape.
In addition, it may help in the implementation of the
vector class that tracks indexing.
(A now functioning version of this class is described in
:ref:`VecAD-name` .)

03-18
=====
A change was made to the way parameter values are stored on the tape.
This resulted in a significant savings in the amount of memory required.

03-17
=====
Change the return type for :ref:`SpeedTest-name` from ``const char *``
to ``std::string`` .
The memory required for the largest test cases was added to the
:ref:`speed_cppad-name` tests output.

03-15
=====
The comparison between ADOLC and CppAD for
the ``DetLuADOLC.cpp/`` example was returning an error
(because it was checking for exact equality of calculated derivatives
instead of nearly equal).
This has been fixed.

03-12
=====
The user defined unary functions were removed and
the user defined :ref:`discrete functions<Discrete-name>` were
added.
These discrete functions add the capability of conditional expressions
(alternate calculations)
being included in an :ref:`ADFun-name` object.

03-11
=====
The classes :ref:`det_by_minor-name` and :ref:`det_by_lu-name` were added
and used these to simplify the
examples that compute determinants.

03-09
=====
The routines ``Grad`` and ``Hess`` have been removed.
You should use :ref:`Jacobian-name` and :ref:`Hessian-name` instead.

03-07
=====
The driver routines :ref:`Hessian-name` and :ref:`RevTwo-name` has been added.
These to compute specialized subsets of the second order partials.

Documentation errors in :ref:`ForTwo-name` and :ref:`Reverse-name` were fixed.
The :ref:`example-name` documentation was reorganized.

03-06
=====
The driver :ref:`ForTwo-name` has been added.
It uses forward mode to compute a subset of the second order partials.

Split all of the "example" and "test" index entries that come from
``include/cppad/example/`` * . ``cpp``
into sorted subheadings.

03-05
=====
The ``Grad`` routine,
which only computed first derivatives of scalar valued functions,
has been replaced by the :ref:`Jacobian-name` routine which
computes the derivative of vector valued functions.

03-04
=====
The bug reported on :ref:`2004@mm-dd@02-17` was present in all
the operators. These have all been fixed and tests for all the operators
have been added to the ``cppad/Test`` directory.

The :ref:`f.Parameter()<fun_property@Parameter>` function was added so that
one can count how many components of the range space depend
on the value of the domain space components.
This helps when deciding whether to use forward or reverse mode.

03-03
=====
Special operators were added to distinguish the cases where
one of the operands is a
:ref:`glossary@Parameter` .
This reduced the amount of branching that is necessary
when executing :ref:`Forward-name` and :ref:`Reverse-name` calculations.

The :ref:`Independent-name` and :ref:`fun_property@Parameter` functions
were moved below :ref:`ADFun-name` in the documentation.

03-01
=====
The DetLuADOLC.cpp, DetLu case was added to the ADOLC
comparison tests.

02-29
=====
Under certain optimization flag values,
and on certain systems,
an error was reported by the
ADOLC correctness comparison.
It turned out that CppAD was not initializing a particular index
when debugging was turned off. This has been fixed.

02-28
=====
A set of routines for comparing CppAD with
ADOLC has been added to the distribution.
In addition, documentation for compiling and linking the
:ref:`Examples<example-name>` and :ref:`Speed Tests<speed_cppad-name>`
has been added.

02-21
=====
If you use the user defined unary atomic functions
there is a restriction on the order of the derivatives that can be calculated.
This restriction was documented in the user defined unary function
:ref:`Forward-name`
and :ref:`Reverse-name` .
(These unary functions were removed on :ref:`2004@mm-dd@03-12` .)

02-20
=====
A user interface to arbitrary order
:ref:`reverse mode<Reverse-name>` calculations was implemented.
In addition, the :ref:`ADFun-name` member functions
``Rev`` and ``RevTwo`` were removed
because it is easier to use the uniform syntax below:

.. list-table::
   :widths: auto

   * - **Old Syntax**
     - **Uniform Syntax**
   * - *r1* = *f* . ``Rev`` ( *v* )
     - *r1* = *f* . ``Reverse`` (1, *v* )
   * - *q1* = *f* . ``RevTwo`` ( *v* )
     - *r2* = *f* . ``Reverse`` (2, *v* )
   * -
     - *q1* [ *i* ] == *r2* [2 * *i*  + 1]

The :ref:`Theory-name` section has been completely changed so that
it corresponds to the arbitrary order calculations.
(Some of this change was made when the arbitrary forward mode
interface was added on
:ref:`04-02-15<2004@mm-dd@02-15>` .

The directory ``cppad/Test`` has been added.
It contains tests cases that are not intended as examples.

02-17
=====
There was a bug in the way CppAD handled the parameters zero and one
when they were variables on a lower level tape; i.e. x might be a
parameter on an ``AD< AD<`` *Base* > > tape and a its value
might be a variable on the
``AD`` < *Base* > tape.
This bug in the multiply and divide routines has been fixed.

There was a bug that is some cases reported a divide by zero error
when the numerator was zero. This has been fixed.

02-16
=====
A bug in :ref:`Forward-name` prevented the calculation of derivatives
with higher order than two.
In addition, this checking for user errors in the use of ``Forward``
was also faulty.
This has been fixed.

The Microsoft project file ``example\Example.dsp``
was out of date. This has been fixed.

The example that :ref:`tapes derivative calculations<mul_level-name>`
has been changed to an application of
:ref:`Taylor's method<mul_level_ode.cpp-name>` for solving ordinary differential
equations.

02-15
=====
A user interface to arbitrary order
:ref:`forward mode<Forward-name>` calculations was implemented.
In addition, the :ref:`ADFun-name` member functions
``Arg`` , ``For`` and ``ForTwo`` were removed
because it is easier to use the uniform syntax below:

.. list-table::
   :widths: auto

   * - **Old Syntax**
     - **Uniform Syntax**
   * - *v0* = *f* . ``Arg`` ( *u0* )
     - *v0* = *f* . ``Forward`` (0, *u0* )
   * - *v1* = *f* . ``For`` ( *u1* )
     - *v1* = *f* . ``Forward`` (1, *u1* )
   * - *v2* = *f* . ``For`` ( *u2* )
     - *v2* = *f* . ``Forward`` (1, *u2* )

02-12
=====
All of the derivative calculations are now done using arbitrary
order Taylor arithmetic routines.
The :ref:`Theory-name` section was changed to document this method
of calculation.

02-01
=====
The definition of a
:ref:`glossary@Taylor Coefficient`
was changed to include the factorial factor.
This change was also made to the output specifications for the
``FunForTwo`` routine.

01-29
=====
There were some bugs in the ``FunArg`` function
that were fixed.

#. If one of the dependent variables was a
   :ref:`glossary@Parameter`
   ``FunArg`` did not set it's value properly.
   (All its derivatives are zero and this was handled properly.)
#. The user defined unary functions were not
   computed correctly.

The specifications for the usage and unknown CppAD error macros
were modified so that they could be used with out side effects.

01-28
=====
Some corrections and improvements were made to the documentation including:
``CppADvector`` was placed before its use,
a reference to ``Ode_ind`` and ``Ode_dep`` was fixed in
``OdeImplicit`` .

01-22
=====
The specifications for the routine ``FunForTwo``
was changed to use
:ref:`Taylor coefficients<glossary@Taylor Coefficient>` .
This makes the interface to CppAD closer to the interface for
`ADOLC <https://github.com/coin-or/ADOL-C>`_.
