21:54 Design #1550 (Resolved): version number for CoCoA5 snapshot release?
- I have added a safety check. It seems to work well enough.
Tomorrow I'll check it in.

I believe it is safe if they contain alphanume... -

- The manual page for @UniversalGBasis@ could be clearer.
Improve it!

sadly CoCoA does not offer a (nice) way to save objects (rings, polys, lists,...) in such a way that they can be... -

See commented out "improved" ... -

- Now CoCoAInterpreter look for packages (if not specified) in its own directory. Add also the path "../"

I find it easier, and that's the reason... -
- Should we (slowly?) adapt parser/interpreter/main to our coding conventions?

I have just tried the ...

Indeed some researchers have opposite standards, calling lex (and degrevlex) what we call xel (... -

So even bug reporters can make typos ;-)

I added "Boost" only in BuiltinFunctions.C.
I have also the code for adding it in ExternalLibs.C (commented o...
