!!! BE CAREFUL: BREAKING CHANGES !!!

Most notable changes

1. Full support for ES modules. Support for tree-shaking out of the box.

   Load all functions:

   import * as math from 'mathjs'

   Use a few functions:

   import { add, multiply } from 'mathjs'

   Load all functions with custom configuration:

   import { create, all } from 'mathjs'
   const config = { number: 'BigNumber' }
   const math = create(all, config)

   Load a few functions with custom configuration:

   import { create, addDependencies, multiplyDependencies } from 'mathjs'
   const config = { number: 'BigNumber' }
   const { add, multiply } = create({
     addDependencies,
     multiplyDependencies
   }, config)

2. Support for lightweight, number-only implementations of all functions:

   import { add, multiply } from 'mathjs/number'
   

3. New dependency injection solution used under the hood.

Breaking changes

• Node 6 is no longer supported.

• Functions config and import are not available anymore in the global
  context:

  // v5
  import * as mathjs from 'mathjs'
  mathjs.config(...) // error in v6.0.0
  mathjs.import(...) // error in v6.0.0

  Instead, create your own mathjs instance and pass config and imports
  there:

  // v6
  import { create, all } from 'mathjs'
  const config = { number: 'BigNumber' }
  const mathjs = create(all, config)
  mathjs.import(...)

• Renamed function typeof to typeOf, var to variance,
  and eval to evaluate. (the old function names are reserved keywords
  which can not be used as a variable name).

• Deprecated the Matrix.storage function. Use math.matrix instead to create
  a matrix.

• Deprecated function math.expression.parse, use math.parse instead.
  Was used before for example to customize supported characters by replacing
  math.parse.isAlpha.

• Moved all classes like math.type.Unit and math.expression.Parser to
  math.Unit and math.Parser respectively.

• Fixed #​1428: transform iterating over replaced nodes. New behavior
  is that it stops iterating when a node is replaced.

• Dropped support for renaming factory functions when importing them.

• Dropped fake BigNumber support of function erf.

• Removed all index.js files used to load specific functions instead of all, like:

  // v5
  // ... set up empty instance of mathjs, then load a set of functions:
  math.import(require('mathjs/lib/function/arithmetic'))
  

  Individual functions are now loaded simply like:

  // v6
  import { add, multiply } from 'mathjs'

  To set a specific configuration on the functions:

  // v6
  import { create, addDependencies, multiplyDependencies } from 'mathjs'
  const config = { number: 'BigNumber' }
  const math = create({ addDependencies, multiplyDependencies }, config)

  See example advanced/custom_loading.js.

• Updated the values of all physical units to their latest official values.
  See #​1529. Thanks @​ericman314.

Non breaking changes

• Implemented units t, tonne, bel, decibel, dB, and prefixes
  for candela. Thanks @​mcvladthegoat.
• Fixed epsilon setting being applied globally to Complex numbers.
• Fix math.simplify('add(2, 3)') throwing an error.
• Fix #​1530: number formatting first applied lowerExp and upperExp
  and after that rounded the value instead of the other way around.
• Fix #​1473: remove 'use strict' in every file, not needed anymore.
