19:45 Bug #745 (Resolved): Readline: avoid printing out READLINE twice
JAA corrected a bug in @ExtLibNames@ (in file @Banner.C@). The problem was trailing whitespace which caused the EOF ... John Abbott
19:25 Design #527: GUI: better name for the graphical interface?
It is "normal" to call the text version of CoCoA via the script @cocoa5@.
@C5@ is rather cryptic as a name for the...

19:11 Slug #741: C5 GUI: slow to close
I've hacked the code to make a call to @clearOutputWindow@, and it now seems to close much faster (after printing @fa... John Abbott
16:50 Slug #750 (Closed): C5 GUI: very slow when printing many short lines
The GUI takes *ages* to print out the following:... John Abbott
16:26 Bug #749: IsDefined does not follow reference to undefined optional param
The relevant source code seems to be at @Interpreter.C:3403@
Update: Mmmm, uncommented code looks scary :-(

16:25 Bug #749: IsDefined does not follow reference to undefined optional param
Anna points out that there is a workaround:... John Abbott
16:20 Bug #749 (New): IsDefined does not follow reference to undefined optional param
The pseudo-function @IsDefined@ has weird semantics.
Consider this example:...

15:06 Bug #726 (Closed): TopLevel cannot "import" a package variable
*Answer:* package variables are accessed via the fully qualified name.
John Abbott
14:46 Bug #726: TopLevel cannot "import" a package variable
JAA now thinks that current design is OK: namely that package variables are always accessible using their fully quali... John Abbott
13:47 Bug #726: TopLevel cannot "import" a package variable
There is apparently no need to "import" package variables; it suffices just to use the fully qualified name, for inst... John Abbott
12:16 Bug #726: TopLevel cannot "import" a package variable
The problem can be worked around by following this example:... John Abbott
11:55 Bug #726 (In Progress): TopLevel cannot "import" a package variable
JAA thinks the relevant code is @Parser.C:837@ -- probably @TT_IDENTIFIER@ should be changed into something else. JA... John Abbott
14:29 Bug #748: Emacs UI: return inside a block of output sends several lines (not just the one I'm on)
The relevant Emacs function is(should be?) @comint-get-old-input-default@. The documentation says the fn should inde... John Abbott
14:27 Bug #748 (Closed): Emacs UI: return inside a block of output sends several lines (not just the one I'm on)
I have recently upgraded to Emacs 24.5.1. The problem is exhibited by doing @?package@ inside a CoCoA-5 buffer. This... John Abbott

13:07 Bug #745 (Closed): Readline: avoid printing out READLINE twice
When C5 starts it prints out a list of ext libs being used; @READLINE@ appears twice. John Abbott

07:43 Feature #336: Mat(Module) should give error
(brought at 100% after 2 years of being closed) Anna Maria Bigatti

18:11 Feature #744 (Closed): Handle interrupts more helpfully
Currently the C5 interpreter catches @CoCoA::InterruptReceived@ as it should, but it gives no message to the user. A... John Abbott
15:26 Slug #741: C5 GUI: slow to close
In file @C5.C:1000@ there is a function @MainWindow::closeEvent@
JAA thinks that this is probably the function ne...

15:57 Feature #78: Elim ordering and matrix ordering in CoCoA-5
Probably we can implement this:... Anna Maria Bigatti
15:44 Slug #741: C5 GUI: slow to close
Found this @C5.C:931@... John Abbott
15:25 Slug #741 (In Progress): C5 GUI: slow to close
Closing is practically instant if I do first a "Clear output window" and then close the C5 GUI. This suggests that c... John Abbott
15:18 Slug #741: C5 GUI: slow to close
The GUI is slow to close also after simply computing and printing @(x+y+z+1)^99@.
JAA think that this confirms tha...

15:20 Feature #732 (Closed): Primary Decomposition in CoCoA-5: port Luis Garcia's package(cocoa-4)
syntax now aligned with Elisa Palezzato's code Anna Maria Bigatti
15:10 Feature #359 (Closed): RingOf for list
all done Anna Maria Bigatti
14:47 Feature #359 (Feedback): RingOf for list
OK for "RingsOf". Changing manual and making "RingSet" obsolscent Anna Maria Bigatti
14:19 Feature #622 (Closed): New function: RandomSubset
Anna Maria Bigatti
11:34 Feature #485 (Closed): Initialization for CoCoA-5: file init.cocoa5
No news on this topic for a long time: I guess that's good enough! ;-) Anna Maria Bigatti
11:30 Feature #733 (In Progress): Primary Decomposition in CoCoA-5.1.2: zero dimensional, finite characteristic
Anna Maria Bigatti
11:29 Feature #733: Primary Decomposition in CoCoA-5.1.2: zero dimensional, finite characteristic
Added the package in the distribution. Still missing: documentation, proper handling for big prime characteristic (a... Anna Maria Bigatti
11:27 Feature #719 (Feedback): Readline: consider creating a textual interpreter with readline
Tried: it works fine for me. Close? Anna Maria Bigatti

14:01 Design #490: Duplicate fns: valuation and FactorMultiplicity
The implementations appear to allow the factor (whose multiplicity is to be computed) to be composite. If the factor... John Abbott

I like it as it is:... Anna Maria Bigatti

Just to make life more entertaining...

21:06 Design #490 (In Progress): Duplicate fns: valuation and FactorMultiplicity
After looking on Wikipedia, it seems that *valuation* is a fairly advanced concept with several different (but relate... John Abbott
21:00 Support #654 (Closed): Rename adjoint to adjugate???

18:49 Feature #719: Readline: consider creating a textual interpreter with readline
I have added a new command flag *@--no-readline@*; it seems to work as desired.
I have also modified @cocoa5.el@ s...
