Hi John, the new version compiles without problems.

20:34 CoCoALib Bug #1764: Verbosity messages: avoid printing BIG values
Here is a list of files which have been checked (so that we do not repeatedly check them):
* @ApproxPts2.C@
* *@END@*
John Abbott
20:21 CoCoALib Feature #1778: Homogenizer
The ctor for @homogenizer@ will create the extended polynomial ring.
What properties should this extended ring have?...
John Abbott
20:13 CoCoALib Feature #1778: Homogenizer
Following KISS, it is probably best to try the simple interface first.
If it works well, and we like it, then we can...

20:10 CoCoALib Feature #1778: Homogenizer
I am not yet sure of the details, but I am hoping that it can be used as in this example:... John Abbott
20:04 CoCoALib Feature #1778 (In Progress): Homogenizer
Here is a suggestion for a cleaner, simpler way to effect homogenization.
The main idea is to create a new type of o...

19:59 CoCoALib Slug #1737: Homogenization of an ideal with ZZ^1-grading
Anna, are you willing to investigate point (1): the implementation behaving cleverly if the term order is wdeg-compat... John Abbott
12:10 CoCoALib Slug #1737: Homogenization of an ideal with ZZ^1-grading
By Robbiano: No need to allow homogenization by an indet whose degree is not 1. Anna Maria Bigatti
11:04 CoCoALib Slug #1737: Homogenization of an ideal with ZZ^1-grading
(2) I think we should *not* provide homogenization by an indet whose degree is not 1, because this is not entirely tr... Anna Maria Bigatti
11:00 CoCoALib Slug #1737: Homogenization of an ideal with ZZ^1-grading
By Kreuzer-Robbiano: *Corollary 4.3.20*. It requires that P is positively graded. Anna Maria Bigatti
10:42 CoCoALib Design #1750: IdealOfPoints: allow duplicate points?
@MakeSet@ is OK for CoCoA-5 and *affine points.* In CoCoALib/C++ and/or with projective points it is not so simple.

John Abbott
10:17 CoCoALib Design #1750: IdealOfPoints: allow duplicate points?
The CoCoA-5 manual already says that the points must be distinct (as a quick reaction to the problem reported by puw... John Abbott
10:03 CoCoALib Design #1750 (In Progress): IdealOfPoints: allow duplicate points?
I'm more inclined to suggest @IdealOfPoints(R, MakeSet(pts))@ in the manual, if one wants to allow duplicates. Maybe... Anna Maria Bigatti
10:03 CoCoALib Design #1777: VerificationLevel: just 3? Low, high, guaranteed?
Currently we allow any non-negative machine integer as the "verification level", but there is no clear semantics.
John Abbott
09:50 CoCoALib Slug #1739: IsHomog for ideals
Could it be useful to have also *@IsHomog3@* which returns a @bool3@?
John Abbott
09:47 CoCoALib Slug #1739: IsHomog for ideals
Source is in @SparsePolyOps-ideal.C:908@ more or less John Abbott

22:26 CoCoALib Feature #1197: IsZeroDet: new fn
There is some non-trivial code in *@MatrixOps-IsZeroDet.C@* developed from a project in Passau... John Abbott
22:16 CoCoALib Design #1750: IdealOfPoints: allow duplicate points?
Should we implement this? Or postpone it? Or reject it?
What is most natural?
Is it really a mistake to ask for...
John Abbott
22:14 CoCoALib Slug #1739 (In Progress): IsHomog for ideals
I say impl the suggestion in the main description: it should be very little code, and may make some computations fast... John Abbott
22:07 CoCoALib Slug #1737 (In Progress): Homogenization of an ideal with ZZ^1-grading
Yes, it would be possible to implement this, and perhaps not even too hard. *But why?*
When would it be useful? Is ...
John Abbott
22:02 CoCoALib Support #1665: Compilation on Windows: problems for normaliz
Is this still a problem? Maybe we can ask Nico?

16:26 CoCoALib Bug #1579: Readexpr/RingElem: unhelpful error message when input is wrong

I prefer to documen...

22:14 CoCoALib Feature #1715: ProductBigInt (also ProductBigRat???)
If I recall well, a first attempt was disappointing.
One may have to be clever if many factors are small integers.
John Abbott
22:13 CoCoALib Feature #947: IsRadical for ideal?
I think my idea might not work in general.
Let @I := ideal(x+y^2)@ then @I@ *is* radical. But if I add an extra ge...

Do you have a good use-case for this?
So far I have not needed such a function. Anyway priority is _low_.

What is the status of this issue?
The previous comment suggests that it should be _feedback_ or _closed_. Is there ...
