Release notes *2.5.7*
May 24, 2024
The major improvements are Mathematica's boxes. We rebuilt the output forms for Graphics, Image, Graphics3D and got rid of many workarounds we had for the last 2 years! We populated StandardForm with TableForm, Item, and WLXForm with Row and Column used on slides.
RTX feature and materials improvements were introduces for Graphics3D.
There are no breaking changes.
Lists, rows, columns
Here is the basics of new formatted output
Row[{1, "->", 2}] (*GB[*){{1(*|*),(*|*)"->"(*|*),(*|*)2}}(*]GB*) Or column
Column[{Red, Blue}] (*GB[*){{(*VB[*)(RGBColor[1, 0, 0])(*,*)(*"1:eJxTTMoPSmNkYGAoZgESHvk5KRCeGJAIcndyzs/JLwouTyxJzghJzS3ISSxJTWMGyXMgyRcxgMEHeyiDgQHOAAALpBNd"*)(*]VB*)}(*||*),(*||*){(*VB[*)(RGBColor[0, 0, 1])(*,*)(*"1:eJxTTMoPSmNkYGAoZgESHvk5KRCeGJAIcndyzs/JLwouTyxJzghJzS3ISSxJTWMGyXMgyRcxQAE644M9APZHE10="*)(*]VB*)}}(*]GB*) Grids, tables can be stylized using Item
