But in recent times we’ve started doing incremental (“.1”) releases that deliver our latest R&D achievements-both fully fleshed out, and partly as “coming attractions”-much more frequently. In earlier times we used to release the results of efforts only every few years.

It’s hard to believe we’ve been doing this for 35 years, building a taller and taller tower of ideas and technology that allow us to reach ever further. And now we can see the results of all those individual ideas and projects and pieces of work: a steady drumbeat of innovation sustained now over the course of more than a third of a century: And I’m pleased to say that in that short time an impressive amount of R&D has come to fruition: not only a total of 117 completely new functions, but also many hundreds of updated and upgraded functions, several thousand bug fixes and small enhancements, and a host of new ideas to make the system ever easier and smoother to use.Įvery day, every week, every month for the past third of a century we’ve been pushing hard to add more to the vast integrated framework that is Mathematica and the Wolfram Language. It’s 207 days-or a little over 6 months-since we released Version 12.3. (Yes, the 1, 3 theme-complete with the fact that it’s the 13th of the month today-is amusing, if coincidental.) Today I’m excited to announce the latest results of our long-running R&D pipeline: Version 13 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica. Just a few weeks ago it was 1/3 of a century since Mathematica 1.0 was released.
