-* The lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
+* New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps)
+  for manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies
+  with all denominators which can be proved to be non-zero (in equations)
+  or positive/negative (in inequations).

+* Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
   have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and ring_distribs.

 * Library/Commutative_Ring.thy: switched from recdef to function package;
-    constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for algebraic operations.
