Removals and Changes

This section lists the most important changes in Version 2.11. Other minor changes are listed in the relevant sections.

• The function Ideal for multivariate polynomials has been renamed to IdealWithFixedBasis to remove confusion.
• Finitely-presented algebras are now handled by a new type which supports noncommutative Gröbner bases.
• The large degree finite fields GF(2^k) are now constructed by low-term irreducibles (see below), if possible. To obtain the old sparse polynomials, specify the parameter Sparse when creating such a field.
