+
+-----------
+
+New if Version 0.4
+
+-access to variables (made by value object)
+-multiple expression separated by ;
+-added the following shorthands:
+	$y or $y1 = $y1[-1] and $y2 = $y2[-1]
+-new functions:
+	if - conditional evaluation
+	cbrt - cube root
+	erf - error function
+	erfc - complementary error function
+	expm1 - exponential minus 1,
+	log1p - logarithm of 1 plus
+	isinf - is the value infinite,
+	finite - is the value finite
+	isnan -- is the resut a nan (Not a number)
+	copysign - copy sign of a number
+	ldexp  -  multiply floating-point number by integral power of 2
+	imodf -	get signed integral value from floating-point number
+	modf - get signed fractional value from floating-point number
+	drem - floating-point remainder function
+
+   Thanks to Orm Finnendahl for adding the following functions:
+	fmod - floating-point remainder function
+	ceil - ceiling function: smallest integral value not less than argument 
+	floor - largest integral value not greater than argument

+New in Version 0.3
+-Full function functionality

+
+The object "expr" is used for expression evaluaion of control data.
+
+Expr~ and fexpr~ are extentions to the expr object to work with vectors.
+The expr~ object is designed to efficiently combine signal and control
+stream processing by vector operations on the basis of the block size of
+the environment.
+
+fexpr~ object provides a flexible mechanism for building FIR and
+IIR filters by evaluating expressions on a sample by sample basis
+and providing access to prior samples of the input and output audio
+streams. When fractional offset is used, fexpr~ uses linear interpolation
+to determine the value of the indexed sample. fexpr~ evaluates the
+expression for every single sample and at every evaluation previous
+samples (limited by the audio vector size) can be accessed. $x is used to
+denote a singnal input whose samples we would like to access. The syntax
+is $x followed by the inlet number and indexed by brackets, for example
+$x1[-1] specifies the previous sample of the first inlet. Therefore,
+if we are to build a simple filter which replaces every sample by
+the average of that sample and its previous one, we would use "fexpr~
+($x1[0]+$x1[-1])/2 ". For ease of when the brackets are omitted, the
+current sample is implied, so we can right the previous filter expression
+as follows:  " fexpr~ ($x1+$x1[-1])/2". To build IIR filters $y is used
+to access the previous samples of the output stream.
+
+The three objects expr, expr~, and fexpr~ are implemented in the same object
+so the files expr~.pd_linux and fexpr~.pd_linux are links to expr.pd_linux
+This release has been compiled and tested on Linux 6.0.
+
+--------
+
+Here are some syntax information: (refer to help-expr.pd for examples)
+ 
+Syntyax:
+The syntax is very close to how expression are written in
+C. Variables are specified as follows where the '#' stands
+for the inlet number:
+$i#: integer input variable
+$f#: float input variable
+$s#: symbol input variable
+
+Used for expr~ only:
+$v#: signal (vector) input (vector by vector evaluation)
+
+Used for fexpr~ only:
+$x#[n]: the sample from inlet # indexed by n, where n has to
+	satisfy 0 => n >= -vector size,
+	($x# is a shorthand for $x#[0], specifying the current sample)
+
+$y#[n]: the output value indexed by n, where n has to
+	satisfy 0 > n >= -vector size,
+	$y[n] is a shorthand for $y1[n]
+
+
+I'll appreciate hearing about bugs, comments, suggestions, ...
