Other Improvements
The GroupTheory package has been extended and improved in several respects for Maple 2017. Most notable are an implementation of the Burnside-Dixon-Schneider algorithm to compute the (ordinary) character table of a finite group, and the redesign of the database architecture for small groups that allows for new and more flexible search options for the SearchSmallGroups command. In addition, the NumGroups command has been improved for this release. Finally, most objects produced by the GroupTheory package now have custom context-sensitive menus available.
Improvements to the SearchSmallGroups command
You can now search for groups whose specified subgroups and quotients have a designated order, as well as a specific group ID. Previously, if you wanted to find groups whose center had order equal to 4, you would have to have specified individual searches for each of the (two) groups of order 4 separately and then manually combine the results:
with⁡GroupTheory:A ≔ SearchSmallGroups⁡order=1..20,center=4,1
A≔4,1,16,6,16,13
B ≔ SearchSmallGroups⁡order=1..20,center=4,2
B≔4,2,16,3,16,4,16,11,16,12
A,B
4,1,16,6,16,13,4,2,16,3,16,4,16,11,16,12
Now it is possible to simply indicate the order in a single invocation of the command:
SearchSmallGroups⁡order=1..20,center=4
4,1,4,2,16,3,16,4,16,6,16,11,16,12,16,13
This works for all the subgroup and quotient properties that are supported by the SearchSmallGroups command.
In addition, several new properties have been added to the SearchSmallGroups command. These are: classnumber (the number of conjugacy classes), centralquotient (the order, or group ID of the quotient of the group by its center), fittingquotient (the quotient of the group by its Fitting subgroup) and frattiniquotient (the quotient of the group by its Frattini subgroup).
Computing Character Tables of Finite Groups
Maple 2017 includes a new command, CharacterTable, in the GroupTheory package to compute the ordinary character table of a finite group.
with⁡GroupTheory:G ≔ Alt⁡4
G≔A4
ct ≔ CharacterTable⁡G
ct≔C1a2a3a3b|C|1344X11111X211−12−I⁢32−12+I⁢32X311−12+I⁢32−12−I⁢32X43−100
The first line of the character table displays the class labels, while the second row indicates the size of the corresponding conjugacy class. The characters themselves occupy succeeding rows, with the value of each character on a conjugacy class in the corresponding column of the table.
Character tables are represented as Maple objects with a number of methods. For example, the CharacterDegrees command returns a list of the degrees of the irreducible characters of the group, along with their multiplicities.CharacterDegrees⁡ct
1,3,3,1
The Display method supports the inclusion of additional information about the character table, such as the associated (prime) power maps and the Frobenius-Schur indicator values.

Improvements to the NumGroups Command
The NumGroups command has been updated for Maple 2017 so that all cases for arithmetically "small" group orders of the form p3q, p2qr and p2q2 are now handled. Also, an improved algorithm for computing the number of groups of a square-free order has been implemented that allows you to compute the number of groups for much larger square-free orders than in previous releases.

The asympt and limit commands can now handle asymptotic cases of the incomplete Γ function where both arguments tend to infinity and their quotient remains finite.

The limit command has also been enhanced for the case of limits of quotients of two bivariate analytic functions. For details, see Bivariate Limits.
The Slode package computes formal series expansions for linear ODEs. The commands FPseries, FTseries and dAlembertian_series_sol now support inhomogeneous ODEs where the right-hand side is d'Alembertian.

The output format for definite sums involving binomials has been improved, so that the answer is expressed again in terms of binomials, if possible, and also more simplified.
