It has now around 150,000 lines of C++ code (most written by B. Parisse), and around 300 pages of English documentation (most written by R. De Graeve). It has interfaces with php, latex, texmacs and soon java, playing the role of computation kernel. It also interfaces with PARI, CoCoA, NTL, GSL, GMP, MPFR. Current development directions include faster algorithms for the mostly used operations: multiplication, division, gcd of multivariate polynomials. EOF
