-
-* Version 3.1 (May 2023):
-
-  - A method :meth:`exterior_to_link <snappy.Manifold.exterior_to_link>`
-    for going from a link exterior to a link diagram taken from
-    `Dunfield-Obeidin-Rudd <https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.03251>`_.
-
-  - Covers now computed by the stand-alone `low_index
-    <https://pypi.org/project/low-index/>`_ module, which uses
-    multiple processor cores and is typically much faster than the old
-    code.  In some cases, it is dramatically faster than even GAP or
-    Magma.
-
-  - Added geodesics to the :meth:`inside_view
-    <snappy.Manifold.inside_view>`.
-
-  - Added drilling any simple geodesic with :meth:`drill_word
-    <snappy.Manifold.drill_word>` and :meth:`drill_words
-    <snappy.Manifold.drill_words>`, not just those that are
-    :meth:`combinatorially simple <snappy.Manifold.dual_curves>`.
-
-  - Added `ignore_orientation` flag to :meth:`triangulation_isosig
-    <snappy.Triangulation.triangulation_isosig>`.
-
-  - Added `include_words` flag to :meth:`length_spectrum
-    <snappy.Manifold.length_spectrum>` for getting the word
-    corresponding to a geodesic which can be given to
-    :meth:`drill_word <snappy.Manifold.drill_word>`.
-

-    <spherogram.Link.knot_floer_homology>`.  This can compute the
-    Seifert genus of a 25 crossing knot in mere seconds!

-    <snappy.Manifold.cusp_translations>`, :meth:`cusp_areas
-    <snappy.Manifold.cusp_areas>`, :meth:`short_slopes

-
-    * Complex volume (and thus the Chern-Simons invariant) for both
-      cusped and closed manifolds, see
-      :meth:`complex_volume <snappy.Manifold.complex_volume>`.
-

+News

+
+
+* Version 3.2 (January 2025):
+
+  - An alternative implementation of the length spectrum. It supports verified
+    computations and is significantly faster in some cases. See
+    :meth:`length_spectrum_alt <snappy.Manifold.length_spectrum_alt>`
+    and
+    :meth:`length_spectrum_alt_gen <snappy.Manifold.length_spectrum_alt_gen>`.
+
+  - :meth:`isometry_signature <snappy.Manifold.isometry_signature>` now also
+    works for closed manifolds.
+
+  - A paper plane or eye ball in the
+    :meth:`inside_view <snappy.Manifold.inside_view>` showing the position
+    and bearing of the user in the hyperbolic manifold. By default, we now show
+    the paper plane instead of the edges of the triangulation so that the view
+    is intrinsic to the manifold. The geodesics window now also features a
+    button to put the camera onto a geodesic. Here are some examples:
+
+    .. list-table::
+       :width: 100%
+       :class: borderless
+
+       * - .. image:: images/o9_00000_systole_paper_plane.jpg

+              :width: 90%
+              :align: center
+              :alt: Paper plane very near shortest geodesic of o9_00000

+              :align: center

+         - .. image:: images/m125_paper_plane.jpg

+              :align: center
+              :alt: Paper plane coming out of a cusp of m125
+
+  - A faster and more robust algorithm to the compute maximal cusp area matrix.
+    The new algorithm is now the default for
+    :meth:`~snappy.Manifold.cusp_area_matrix`,
+    :meth:`~snappy.Manifold.cusp_areas`,
+    :meth:`~snappy.Manifold.short_slopes` and
+    :meth:`~snappy.Manifold.cusp_translations`.
+
+  - New options ``ignore_curves`` and ``ignore_filling_orientations``
+    for :meth:`~snappy.Triangulation.triangulation_isosig`. Also
+    fixing a subtle bug where the filling coefficients returned by
+    :meth:`triangulation_isosig <snappy.Triangulation.triangulation_isosig>` were
+    not canonical when ``ignore_curve_orientations = True``.
+
+  - :meth:`~snappy.Manifold.canonical_retriangulation`
+    and
+    :meth:`~snappy.Manifold.isometry_signature` fail with
+    exceptions rather than silently returning ``None``. In particular, it now
+    safe to compare isometry signatures (without further checks) to determine
+    whether M and N are isometric hyperbolic manifolds::
+
+        >>> M.isometry_signature(verified=True) == N.isometry_signature(verified=True)
+
+  - Bug fix to :meth:`slice_obstruction_HKL
+    <snappy.Manifold.slice_obstruction_HKL>`: earlier versions
+    incorrectly allowed looking at mod 2 homology of the branched
+    cover, where the theory does not directly apply.
+
+  - New self-contained SnapPy application for Linux. 
+  
+  - Support for Python 3.13 and SageMath 10.5.
+
+
+* Versions 3.1 (May 2023) and 3.1.1 (June 2023):
+
+  - A method :meth:`exterior_to_link <snappy.Manifold.exterior_to_link>`
+    for going from a link exterior to a link diagram taken from

+    <https://pypi.org/project/low-index/>`_ module, which uses
+    multiple processor cores and is typically much faster than the old
+    code.  In some cases, it is dramatically faster than even GAP or

+    <snappy.Manifold.drill_words>`, not just those that are

+
+  - Added `ignore_orientation` flag to :meth:`triangulation_isosig
+    <snappy.Triangulation.triangulation_isosig>`.
+
+  - Added `include_words` flag to :meth:`length_spectrum
+    <snappy.Manifold.length_spectrum>` for getting the word
+    corresponding to a geodesic which can be given to
+    :meth:`drill_word <snappy.Manifold.drill_word>`.
+
+  - Support for Python 3.11 and SageMath 10.0.

+    * HIKMOT-style `rigorous verification of hyperbolic structures
+      <verify.html>`_,
+      contributed by Matthias Goerner.
+
+    * Many `basic knot/link invariants
+      <spherogram.html#the-link-class>`_, contributed by Robert
+      Lipschitz and Jennet Dickinson.
+
+    * Sage-specific functions are now more easily accessible as
+      methods of Manifold and better documented.
+
+    * Improved number field recognition, thanks to Matthias.
+
+  - Better compatibility with OS X Yosemite and Windows 8.1.
+
+  - Development changes:
+
+    * Major source code reorganization/cleanup.
+
+    * Source code repository moved to `Bitbucket
+      <https://bitbucket.org/t3m>`_.
+
+    * Python modules now hosted on `PyPI
+      <https://pypi.python.org/pypi>`_, simplifying `installation <installing.html>`_.
+
+* Version 2.2 (June 2014): Includes Ben Burton's `census of
+  orientable cusped manifolds with 9 tetrahedra. <http://arxiv.org/abs/1405.2695>`_
+
+* Version 2.1 (February 2014): New `high-precision manifolds
+  (ManifoldHP) <manifoldhp.html>`_ which compute hyperbolic structures
+  (and everything related) in `quad-double (212 bit) <http://web.mit.edu/tabbott/Public/quaddouble-debian/qd-2.3.4-old/docs/qd.pdf>`_
+  precision.
+
+* Version 2.0 (September 2013): Many new features, including:
+
+  - A `manifold browser <manifold.html#snappy.Manifold.browse>`_
+    window for easily examining a particular manifold.
+
+  - Many improvements to the `link editor <plink.html#using-snappy-s-link-editor>`_, including
+
+    * A smoothed view mode with image export to EPS/PDF/SVG/TikZ.
+
+    * Producing a fully editable link from combinatorial data like a DT
+      code.
+
+  - `Splitting manifolds <manifold.html#snappy.Manifold.split>`_ along surfaces of non-negative euler
+    characteristic.
+
+  - Generalizing the ptolemy obstruction class to allow computation of
+    PGL(3,C)-representations and improving usability of the `ptolemy module
+    <http://www.unhyperbolic.org/ptolemy.html>`_.
+
+  - `CensusKnots <censuses.html#snappy.CensusKnots>`_ now includes
+    knot exteriors with 8 tetrahedra.
+
+* Version 1.8 (May 2013) improves handling of DT codes and adds the
+  `HTLinkExteriors <censuses.html#snappy.HTLinkExteriors>`_ census,
+  which provides identification for knots and links up to 14 crossings.
+
+* Version 1.7 (November 2012) incorporates the `ptolemy module
+  <http://www.unhyperbolic.org/ptolemy.html>`_ for studying
+  representations of 3-manifold groups into pSL(*N*, **C**).
+
+* Version 1.6 (August 2012) includes a `new way to make links
+  <spherogram.html>`_ and some support for `arbitrary precision calculation <snap.html>`_.
+
+* Version 1.5 (February 2012) includes `much improved manifold
+  censuses <censuses.html>`_.
+
+* Version 1.4 (December 2011) uses the current release of IPython, which has been completely rewritten.
+
+*  Version 1.3.10 (July 2011) incorporates `Twister
+   <https://github.com/MarkCBell/twister/>`_.
+
+* Version 1.3 (February 2011) has a completely redesigned cusp horoball viewer and many bug fixes!
+
+* Version 1.2 (December 2010).
+
+* Version 1.1 (February 2010).
+
+* Version 1.0 (August 2009) Initial version.
