"In my ten years at Wolfram Research, I've never seen so much software
development activity. In the middle of last year, we had our biggest
launch in a decade: Mathematica 6. Now there's a huge pipeline of new
development underway.

Some people are working on Mathematica 7; some people on Mathematica 8.

We're developing major new frameworks and we're adding boatloads of new
functions. But we're also continuing to polish and strengthen everything
that's already in Mathematica.

We brought out Mathematica 6.0.1 last summer to add a variety of
improvements that didn't make it into 6.0.0. And we've now accumulated
enough improvements that we've decided to release 6.0.2 - which is being
sent to Premier Service customers as of today.

6.0.2 is not about major new features; instead, it's about adding,
smoothing, and rounding out features in Mathematica 6.0.0.

For most users, the most obvious of the various changes in 6.0.2 is in the
Documentation Center.

We've added a new navigation mechanism to every function page, with tens of
thousands of new links.

Open up the Documentation Center, and you'll see two new elements: the
Function Navigator and the Virtual Book.

The Function Navigator is a complete hierarchical tool for navigating all
2500+ functions of Mathematica. The Virtual Book starts from the full text
of Stephen Wolfram's The Mathematica Book, then adds thousands of pages of
new and more advanced documentation.

We studied how people prefer to find information inside Mathematica. Not
surprisingly, we discovered that different people are different. Some like
using our conceptual overview "guide pages". Some like using text search.
And some like using hierarchical function navigation - or a book-like table
of contents.

In Mathematica 5, we had a primitive Function Navigator - and we also had
The Mathematica Book. We weren't sure these could scale up to a system the
size of Mathematica 6. But as soon as Mathematica 6 came out, it was clear
people wanted us to try to figure out how to do this.

I'm happy to say that we succeeded, and Mathematica 6.0.2 contains a full
Function Navigator and Virtual Book.

We're planning still more innovations in this direction in the future. But
our tests indicate that Mathematica 6.0.2 is a significant step in helping
people to find the information they need to use Mathematica as productively
as possible.

There's quite a bit else in Mathematica 6.0.2 as well.

In interactive graphics, we've spruced up the Drawing Tools palette,
particularly adding a rather sophisticated coordinate-picking tool for
digitizing graphics.

Fine-tuning some of our low-level software infrastructure allowed us to
make some surprisingly dramatic improvements (sometimes a factor of 50) in
speed for various forms of Import and Export. This particularly affects
binary files on all platforms, as well as many graphics formats on Mac
and Unix platforms.

We've been pleased to see how deeply all the new Import and Export
capabilities of Mathematica 6 are being adopted. And as users have
connected Mathematica to a broader range of external programs and
systems, some subtle but important issues have come to light.

Mathematica 6.0.2 addresses many of these. A few examples are dramatic
compression of graphics that include transparency exported to PDF, more
robust embedding of graphics in TeX, and full support for all metadata
in FITS images.

Finally, we always work hard to let Mathematica take advantage of all the
latest enhancements in hardware and operating systems (and Mathematica
has a long tradition of being the very first complex application on major
new platforms). The hardware for 64-bit Intel Macs had been released
before Mathematica 6, but the operating system wasn't yet ready to support
a complex application like Mathematica.

After working closely with our partners at Apple, I'm happy to say it now
is, and so Mathematica 6.0.2 fully supports 64-bit Intel Macs.

Mathematica 6.0.2 has very useful enhancements, particularly in
documentation and performance, that we expect all users will appreciate
today."

Long recognized as the world's most powerful mathematical software system,
Mathematica has steadily grown in breadth and depth to become today an
unparalleled platform for all forms of computation.

Powering innovation in research, development, and education.

With thousands of original algorithms and a tightly unified overall design,
Mathematica spans projects of all sizes, from simple calculator operations
and educational demonstrations to large-scale systems deployment and
maximum-power supercomputing.

The most important advance in the 20 year history of Mathematica.

Building on two decades of world-class algorithm and software development,
Mathematica 6 represents a dramatic breakthrough that immensely broadens
Mathematicas scope and applicability, and redefines the very way we think
about computation.

Made possible by Mathematica's unique symbolic architecture, Mathematica 6
introduces a sweeping unification of language and interface concepts that
makes possible a new level of automation in algorithmic computation,
interactive manipulation and dynamic presentation, as well as a whole new
way of interacting with the world of data.

Mathematica 6.0 fundamentally redefines Mathematica and introduces a major
new paradigm for computation.

Building on Mathematica's time-tested core symbolic architecture, version
6.0 adds nearly a thousand new functions almost doubling the total number
of functions in the system, dramatically increasing both the breadth and
depth of Mathematica's capabilities, as well as introducing hundreds of
major original algorithms, and perhaps a thousand new ideas, large and
small.
