+Readers of [Linear and Geometric Algebra](http://www.faculty.luther.edu/~macdonal/laga/index.html) and [Vector and Geometric Calculus](http://www.faculty.luther.edu/~macdonal/vagc/index.html) might be guided by [GAlgebra Primer](http://www.faculty.luther.edu/~macdonal/GAlgebraPrimer.pdf) (version November 29, 2022, accessed May, 2024) to download [GAfiles.zip](http://www.faculty.luther.edu/~macdonal/GAfiles.zip) and copy `gprinter.py`, `lt.py`, `mv.py`, and `GAlgebraInit.py`¸ into where GAlgebra is installed. These steps are NO LONGER NEEDED since GAlgebra 0.6.0 as they are merge into GAlgebra with tests, copying these files will cause conflicts and regressions of fixed bugs.
+
+For minor differences to those files, please check out [the change log for GAlgebra 0.6.0](https://galgebra.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#0.6.0). Also please note that:
+
+- `GAlgebraInit.py` is renamed to `primer.py` and can be imported like `from galgebra.primer import *` but it's usage is discouraged, although it saves some boilerplate code, this is not part of GAlgebra's maintained API, GAlgebra might remove it in future.
+- Some notebooks from the zip is included in GAlgebra in `examples/primer`.

+- :bug:`518` :class:`~galgebra.mv.Mv` now correctly returns ``Mv`` instance when raise to power of zero. But in general, if one needs to call ``Mv`` methods on a result returned by some GA operations, it would be more prudent to initialize it as an ``Mv`` instance first, as sometimes the result becomes a ``sympy`` object.
+
+- :bug:`516` :attr:`~galgebra.mv.Mv.grades` no longer incorrectly returns ``None`` under some circumstances, as now all initialization branch will correctly call :meth:`~galgebra.mv.Mv.characterise_Mv`.
+
+- :bug:`513` :class:`~galgebra.mv.Mv` now correctly handles differentiating by a coordinate symbol.
+
+- :bug:`511` :class:`~galgebra.mv.Mv` now correctly handles negative integer power.
+
+- :feature:`510` Added :class:`~galgebra.gprinter.gprint` by Alan Bromborsky developed back in 2020, which improved printing of text and LaTeX for multiple GA objects in Jupytper notebooks, and is the recommended way to print GA formulas, see :doc:`tutorials/gprint` for a demonstration. Testability and test coverage are improved.
+
+- :support:`510` Testing infrastructure for generating and diffing PDFs is added, see ``test/test_gprinter.py`` and ``.github/workflows/ci.yml`` for details.
+
+- :feature:`510` Improved functionality for :class:`~galgebra.mv.Mv`, :class:`~galgebra.lt.Lt` by Greg Grunberg, with improved test coverage and minor fixes.
+
+  Changes by Greg Grunberg include (see the attached notebooks in :issue:`478` for details):
+
+  * The following methods of ``Mv`` are added, along with their corresponding functions (applied to multivectors ``A`` and ``B``):
+
+    * Undualization: :meth:`A.undual() <galgebra.mv.Mv.undual>` and :func:`undual(A) <galgebra.mv.undual>`
+    * Grade involution: :meth:`A.g_invol() <galgebra.mv.Mv.g_invol>` and :func:`g_invol(A) <galgebra.mv.g_invol>`
+    * Clifford conjugation: :meth:`A.ccon() <galgebra.mv.Mv.ccon>` and :func:`ccon(A) <galgebra.mv.ccon>`
+    * Scalar product: :meth:`A.sp(B) <galgebra.mv.Mv.sp>` and :func:`sp(A,B) <galgebra.mv.sp>`
+    * Quadratic form: :meth:`A.qform() <galgebra.mv.Mv.qform>` and :func:`qform(A) <galgebra.mv.qform>`
+    * Magnitude squared: :meth:`A.mag2() <galgebra.mv.Mv.mag2>` and :func:`mag2(A) <galgebra.mv.mag2>`
+    * Magnitude: :meth:`A.mag() <galgebra.mv.Mv.mag>` and :func:`mag(A) <galgebra.mv.mag>`
+
+  * The following methods of ``Mv`` are improved, along with their corresponding functions:
+
+    * Norm squared: :meth:`A.norm2() <galgebra.mv.Mv.norm2>` and :func:`norm2(A) <galgebra.mv.norm2>` now returns the absolute value of the quadratic form of ``A``.
+    * Norm: :meth:`A.norm() <galgebra.mv.Mv.norm>` and :func:`norm(A) <galgebra.mv.norm>`
+
+  * :class:`~galgebra.lt.Lt` is significantly improved and fixed, see also :doc:`tutorials/lt`:
+
+    * :class:`~galgebra.lt.Lt` adopts the contravariant-covariant indexing notation long used in tensor analysis and differential geometry, which is consistent with the indexing notation GAlgebra already uses for the display of a multivector's basis blade expansion
+    * :meth:`~galgebra.lt.Lt.Symbolic_Matrix` allows the creation, for a symbolic transformation :math:`\lt{T}`, of matrices with entries of any of the four forms :math:`{T^i}_j`, :math:`T^{ij}`, :math:`T_{ij}`, or :math:`{T_i}^j`, although GAlgebra will use only the first two.
+    * :meth:`~galgebra.lt.Lt.Dictionary_to_Matrix` fixes a bug that incorrectly raises an exception if `T` maps one or more of the basis vectors to the zero multivector, and improves the readability.
+    * :class:`~galgebra.lt.Lt` fixes a bug that erroneously post multiplies the transformation's standard matrix by ``self.Ga.g_inv`` (the reciprocal metric tensor), resulting in a contravariant-contravariant matrix  :math:`[T^{ij}] = [{T^i}_k g^{kj}]` instead of the standard matrix :math:`[{T^i}_j]`. In the same spirit, :meth:`~galgebra.lt.Lt.matrix` now returns the standard matrix $[{T^i}_j]$ instead of the product matrix :math:`[{T^i}_j][g_{ij}]`.
+    * :class:`~galgebra.lt.Lt` now distinguishes symmetric and antisymmetric transformations from general transformations, ``Amat`` will be the standard matrix :math:`[{T^i}_j]` of the transformation when ``mode=='g'``, , but will be :math:`[T_{ij}]` when ``mode in ['s','a']``.  Since :math:`[g^{ij}][T_{ij}] = [{T^i}_j]`, in either case ``Lt.__init__`` will receive the standard matrix as its first parameter.
+    * :class:`~galgebra.lt.Lt` now correctly handles Versor input, and initializes the internal ``lt_dict`` for the versor-based linear transformation.
+    * :class:`~galgebra.lt.Lt` adds support for both even and odd versors, after generalization of spinors to versors in ``Mv``.
+    * For versor based transformations, the inverse transformation :meth:`~galgebra.lt.Lt.inv` is now based on simply :math:`\til{\mbf{V}}` instead of :math:`\mbf{V}^{-1} = {\frac 1 {\mbf{V} \til{\mbf{V}}}} {\til{\mbf{V}}}`, as a versor-based transformation is independent of taking nonzero scalar multiples of the versor.
+    * :class:`~galgebra.lt.Lt` adds support for LaTeX printing of versor-based transformations.
+    * The determinant method :meth:`~galgebra.lt.Lt.det` for a linear transformation is fixed, it now uses directly the geometric algebra definition of :math:`\lt{L}`'s determinant: :math:`\det(\lt{L}) = \lt{L}(\mbf{E}) \mbf{E}^{-1}`, where :math:`\mbf{E}` denotes the basis blade :math:`\mbf{E} = \es{1} \wedge \cdots \wedge \es{n}` for the grade space of pseudoscalars.
+
+  Minor fixes includes:
+
+  * ``norm`` is fixed by using ``metric.square_root_of_expr`` instead of ``sqrt``
+  * making a "spinor" mv is kept for backward compatibility with existing tests, which is still aliased to making an "even" mv, see discussions ``10. An unimplemented suggestion`` in ``Changes to module lt.py`` attached in :issue:`478`
+  * fixed linting errors reported by ``flake8``
+  * fixed some typos of ``return``, ``raise`` etc.
+
+- :feature:`510` Added example notebooks for typical GAs by Greg Grunberg, and they are now part of the tests:
+
+  * Standard 2D Model :math:`\mathcal{G}_2`: :doc:`g2 <tutorials/g2>`
+  * Standard 3D Model :math:`\mathcal{G}_3`: :doc:`g3 <tutorials/g3>`
+  * Standard 4D Model :math:`\mathcal{G}_4`: :doc:`g4 <tutorials/g4>`
+  * 3D Homogeneous Coordinates :math:`\mathcal{G}_4`: :doc:`h3 <tutorials/h3>`
+  * 3D Conformal Model, Amsterdam convention :math:`\mathcal{G}_{4,1}`: :doc:`cm3 <tutorials/cm3>`
+  * Spacetime algebra: :doc:`spacetime <tutorials/spacetime>`
+  * Sphere-related algebras:
+
+    * Geometric algebra for unit sphere in :math:`\mathbb{R}^3` using spherical coordinates: :doc:`sp2 <tutorials/sp2>`
+    * Unit sphere :math:`\mathbb{R}^3` as a submanifold of :math:`\mathcal{G}_3` in cartesian coordinates: :doc:`sp2g3 <tutorials/sp2g3>`
