14:06 Bug #321: interpreter proposes no near misses for "bin"
The place to intervene appears to be @Interpreter.C:2775@ in the function @collectSimilarlyNamedIdentifiers@. The pr... John Abbott
23:34 Feature #204: NmzComputation: the powerful NormalizComputation function in CoCoA-5
The "shifting" of the indices by 1 could be awkward. I can think of two ways to resolve the matter:

@Christof: is this issue resolved/complete/closable???

17:46 Feature #245 (Resolved): Meaningful error for functions defined in "missing" external library
I applied John's suggestion.
I'd rather find an "automatic" solution (so that we don't risk forgetting or misspellin...

14:11 Support #240: GUI compilation: GMP is not naturally thread-safe
JAA has confirmed (20140902) that the problem persists (with GMP 6.0.0 built without the @--disable-alloca@ flag).

The only call of @fromBool@ is in @Value::from@.

I've removed (commented out) the relevant lines in @Interpreter.C@ and @AST.H@.
I also had to change two packages (@...

15:47 Feature #25 (Closed): Function "Call"
Apparently this has already been done (but Anna forgot to "close" properly).

15:02 Feature #561 (Resolved): Emacs UI: unrecognized keywords (ImportByValue...)
Everything seems OK to me (after a perfunctory test).
I suggest closing this issue -- if an omission comes to light,...

11:58 Feature #500: Interpreter: is it possible to avoid useless prompts?
This appears to be impossible in C++ (version 2003), at least in a fully portable way.

15:37 Bug #433: EMACS UI: trouble with sending a long line
I have an ugly solution that appears to work fine in Emacs 23.2 and 24.1.
Now I'll try to make it neater.
