We describe a significant update to the existing
InvariantRing package
for
Macaulay2. In addition to expanding and improving the methods of
the existing package for actions of finite groups, the updated package adds
functionality for computing invariants of diagonal actions of tori and finite abelian
groups, as well as invariants of arbitrary linearly reductive group actions. The
implementation of the package has been completely overhauled with the
aim of serving as a unified resource for invariant theory computations in
Macaulay2.
