Mathics-django

-----

* Adjust for Mathics3 core 7.0.0 API, e.g., add explicit call to load builtins
* doctest refactored to use more routines common to mathics-core
* Support newer matplotlib, e.g. 3.9.1
* Update gallery examples
* Add background and tooltips to Graphics3D
* Expand information in /about:
- max digits in string
- system encoding
- time format

-----

* Use the latest mathics_threejs_backend: 1.3.1
* Environment variables which change Django settings (also shown under Settings)
- ``MATHICS_DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS`` sets Django ``ALLOWED_HOST``; use semicolon to separate entries
- ``MATHICS_DJANGO_DEBUG_HOSTS`` sets Django ``DEBUG``
- ``MATHICS_DJANGO_DISPLAY_EXCEPTIONS_HOSTS`` sets Django ``DISPLAY_EXCEPTIONS``
* Adjust for Mathics3 core 6.0.0 API
* "About" page:
- Python Implementation (CPython, PyPy, Pyston) explicitly is shown
- Optional Python packages are also shown along with their version
* Long ``<url>`` lines in documentation split into several lines.
* Gallery examples now include image manipulation and Mathics3 Graph and NLP modules
* Mathics3 errors are displayed better showing error tags, messages, and output more visible distinct.
* Python tracebacks shown in the browser as formatted nicer; use ``make runserver-debug`` to have Python tracebacks included in browser, in addition to the backend console.
* Menubar entries add for:
- running gallery examples
- going to github repository for Mathics-Django
- getting to the information page
* Split out controllers into separate files
* Upgrade to fontawesome 6.2.1

We have gradually been rolling in more Python type annotations and have been using current Python practices. Tools such as using ``isort``, ``black`` and ``flake8`` are used as well.

-----

* Adjust for Mathics3 core 5.0.0 API
* Sort document reference chapters and sections
* Urls can now have links in them

-----

* Extend summary lists to chapters and sections
* Support Django 4.0
* Add GPL Copyright notice to popup startup boxes
* Update mathics-threejs-backend to 1.0.3, and in this three.js to 1.3.5

Fix a small packaging issue where we weren't install ``autoload/settings.m``.
This combined with a bug in Mathics core was causing evaluationg expressions
to fail.

The main thrust behind this API-breaking release is to be able to
support a protocol for Graphics3D.

It new Graphics3D protocol is currently expressed in JSON. There is an
independent `threejs-based module
<https://www.npmjs.com/package/mathicsorg/mathics-threejs-backend>`_
to implement this. Tiago Cavalcante Trindade is responsible for this
code.

Previously, this Javascript code and library was embedded into this
code base. By separating the two, this library can be used more easily
outside of Django. And the library has gotten considerably better in
terms of being tested and documented.

The other main API-breaking change is more decentralization of the
Mathics Documentation. A lot more work needs to go on here, and so
there will be one or two more API breaking releases. After this
release, the documentation code will be split off into its own git
repository.

Enhancements
++++++++++++

* a Graphics3D protocol, mentioned above, has been started
* ``mathics_django.setting`` has been gone over to simplify.
* The "about" page now includes the Python version as well as the
mathics-threejs-backend version
* Some Image Gallery examples have been added. Some of the examples
have been reordered to put the slower examples towards the end.
* Much of the Javascript code that remains after pulling out the
Graphics3D code has been modernized.
* Use of the "scriptaculous" library has been reduced. It will be
eliminated totally in a future release.


Documentation
.............

* Document data used in producing HTML-rendered documents is now
stored in both the user space, where it can be extended, and in the
package install space -- which is useful when there is no user-space
data.
* Code duplication used in creating documentation has been reduced. It
will be moved more completely out in a future release
* Summary text for various built-in functions has been started. These
summaries are visible in Mathics Django when lists links are given
in Chapters, Guide Sections, or Sections. See the online
documentation of ``Associations`` for an example of a list with
additional summary information.

Regressions
+++++++++++

* Some of the test output for buitins inside a guide sections is not
automatically rendered. See the on-line documentation for ``Binarize`` for
an example of this.
* Density plot rendered in Mathics Django do not render as nice since we no longer
use the secret protocol handshake hack. We may fix this in a future release
