New release (v0.8.9)



The status of 0.8.9rc5 is now "stable". The only difference is a small
addition to the tutorial, so if you're running rc5 there's no need to
upgrade. (You should probably upgrade if you're running 0.8.9rc4 or older,
and may want to consider running the "upgrade_figs" script on your input
files, since several style macros are again functions.)

Pending further discussion on design, I'm not planning any more changes.
Robin Blume-Kohout sent an excellent, detailed proposal for making the
user interface more object-oriented; this is a substantial departure from
the lines along which I was coding, and I'm still overcoming psychological
hurdles and my ignorance of OO design. (Pierre Deligne is reputed to have
said, "Learning mathematics is a matter of overcoming psychological
hurdles.":)
