Mathematica 10.4 Release

In case you missed it, Mathematica 10.4 was just released this week! Version 10.4 capitalizes on the newest version of the Wolfram Language to deliver significant functionality gains for cloud services and systems, geographic and geometric computation, dynamic visualization, creating interactive applications, and a robust array of other improvements.

For a full list of added support and functionality, you can find all the details here.

enter image description here

  • Support for pattern matching and significant speedup in many operations for Association
  • Ability to implicitly define an Entity by value and property
  • New CloudExpression for representation of an expression whose value is persistently stored in the cloud
  • Experimental user interface functionality for creating interactive applications using AskFunction
  • Scaled plots can now be generated using ListPlot, ListLinePlot, and DateListPlot through the ScalingFunctions option, plus all-new Dendrogram for constructing a dendrogram from the hierarchical clustering of list elements
  • New textual computation and data functionality for spell checking and word frequency analysis, plus substantially improved TextSearch and Snippet
  • New graphs and networks capabilities for PlanarGraph construction, and for determination of ConnectedGraphComponents for many different graph types
  • Experimental ClusterClassify to generate a ClassifierFunction based on clusters found in numerical, textual, and image data, as well as dates and times
  • New symbolic computation functions DifferenceQuotient and GreenFunction, plus additional functionality for number theory and signal processing
  • Added geometric computation formats and functions for constructing meshes from arrays, as well as for computing region properties such as inertia or general integral moments, bounding regions for point sets, and measures of regions defined by parameter formulas
  • Expanded support for Quantity data in probability and statistics, including new function QuantityDistribution
  • Experimental DynamicGeoGraphics function for creating dynamic, interactive 2D geographic images that can be panned and zoomed
  • New DynamicImage interactive image viewer for panning and zooming in large images, and dramatically expanded HighlightImage functionality for highlighting specified regions of interest
  • Function and data labeling capability improvements for some functions through the Labeled wrapper or the PlotLabels option
  • Support for Arduino Yun to directly interface with the Wolfram Data Drop
  • API connectivity via ServiceConnect to seven more external services—including Google Analytics, SurveyMonkey, FRED, and PubMed—for data retrieval and analysis
  • Over 20 new interpreter types for use in Interpreter and related constructs, including deployed smart form fields
  • Added support for 24 new font families for additional customization of web and print work

Of the following lines, only the first one gives what I was expecting:

Style[TraditionalForm[a + b <= 1], 
 FontFamily -> "Latin Modern Roman"]
Style[TraditionalForm[a + b <= 1], FontFamily -> "Latin Modern Math"]
Style[TraditionalForm[a + b <= 1], FontFamily -> "Computer Modern"]
Style[TraditionalForm[a + b <= 1], FontFamily -> "LaTeX"]
Style[a + b <= 1, FontFamily -> "LaTeX"]

The purpose was to imitate the standard TeX look.

Thanks. This command shows all the fonts installed on my computer. When I execute this command in 10.3.1, I get fewer fonts.

I see, for example, the Felipa, Alegreya SC, fonts with 10.4, but not with 10.3.

Are the additional finds those provided by Wolfram in the installation? Is there an easy way to get the fonts included in the Mathematica Package. (I could do this by hand, by comparing the lists, but we like automation here ;-)) If I did that, I would miss any fonts included with Mathematica that I already have on my system.

Thanks.

FileNames["*",FileNameJoin[{$InstallationDirectory, "SystemFiles", "Fonts", "TrueType"}] ]

That will give you a listing of the font files included in the layout. In 10.3, this directory only included the files for Mathematica and Source Sans Pro. The file name is generally a good hint...

Thanks. Forgot about looking in the System Files folder. We now have a universally available form of Garamond -- at least for 10.4 or later.

Some of the other fonts look promising. I will make a test style sheet and see what they can do.

Now, if the glitch in OpenGL (OS X) can get fixed....

@George Woodrow III - does $FontFamilies do what you're looking for? It lists all font families, but I don't think there's a way to see when each one was added unless you have an older version to compare. But at least you can see all the fonts:

Style[#,FontFamily->#]&/@$FontFamilies

I think there are a few my computer doesn't like and renders as boxes...

I can find no documentation about the 24 new font families. Any clue where to look?

Thanks Jennafyr for sharing that list. @Silvia Hao has made this comprehensive infograph of the new functionality in M10.4 using ClusteringTree:
