14:39 Feature #1262: Split BuiltinFunctions-CoCoALib.C into smaller files: Do you know how much the overhead for including @library.H@ is? that is quite slow by itself.
(try compiling an @ex... Anna Maria Bigatti

File Time to compile... John Abbott

13:53 Feature #1262: Split BuiltinFunctions-CoCoALib.C into smaller files: I had a look.
I think it would make sense to separate off the functions with variable number of args.
(look for @DE... Anna Maria Bigatti
11:39 Feature #1262: Split BuiltinFunctions-CoCoALib.C into smaller files: I hope this evening to try compiling again on the small computer, and I'll note which files gave problems with swappi... John Abbott

13:54 Bug #1261 (Closed): ASCII function: The @ascii@ function returns negative values for characters with code greater than 127.
I think it is better for n... John Abbott
13:52 Bug #672: Emacs UI: strange string literal causes crash: This is still a bug (in emacs 26.1).
A possible solution could be to print "weird characters" using backslash+octa... John Abbott

17:04 Support #1258 (Closed): Manual page for CantStop: @CantStop.cpkg5@ now works. There should be a manual page at least for @PlayCantStop@.
Perhaps some of the other fn... John Abbott

14:42 Feature #1246: Revive old CoCoA4 package called "cocoa5.cpkg": Here are the aspects to be addressed next:
* how to serialize rings (_i.e._ follow previous format, but passing ring... John Abbott
14:38 Feature #1246: Revive old CoCoA4 package called "cocoa5.cpkg": Anna has cleaned the file so that it is syntactically OK.
Now we must look at the semantics. John Abbott

17:25 Feature #1236 (Feedback): Add "socket" devices: Anna prefers the longer field names. Code cleaned, and checked-in. Anna will test.
Doc updated.

15:41 Feature #1236: Add "socket" devices: I have updated the CoCoA-5 manual.
I have modified the code so that @OpenSocket@ returns a record with 4 fields: *... John Abbott

12:30 Bug #1239 (Closed): CartesianProductList: case of just 1 entry in list: JAA notes that the product of zero factors should return a list containing 1 element which is a 0-tuple (namely, the ... John Abbott

11:42 Feature #1247 (In Progress): sleep function: If we use C++11 then this is a relatively simple task (since C++11 already offers a decent "sleep function").
It's... John Abbott
11:38 Feature #1247 (Closed): sleep function: Consider adding a "sleep function" to CoCoA-5.
This could be useful in an interactive context (_e.g._ the "Can't S... John Abbott
