Two new properties of functors are added:

  • preserves regular epimorphisms
  • preserves regular monomorphisms

The properties have been decided for all functors.

A couple of implications have been added as well. For example, a functor preserving equalizers of course also preserves regular monomorphisms. The most useful result is the following, as it also made several previous assignments redundant: Let $C$ be a category with pushouts. A functor $C \to D$ preserving coreflexive equalizers already preserves regular monomorphisms. Thus, if $C$ is mono-regular, the functor also preserves monomorphisms. And as usual, this dualizes as well.

Also, a small bug in the generation of contradiction proofs for functors has been fixed.
