20:37 Slug #1638: MinSubsetOfGens sometimes very slow
There are only 256 subsets to try; and some can be quickly eliminated.
I saw the source, and understand that it is n...

18:44 Slug #1629: RingElem slow with many indets
Anna implemented a quick fix: it was much faster, but would also sometimes give a wrong answer (we understood why).

20:23 Bug #1634: Unexpected or unhelpful error using GroebnerFanIdeals
I find the error quite surprising; at least the particular error that was thrown.

20:19 Design #984: GroebnerFanIdeals: order matrices sometimes have "large" entries
It seems that the first two rows are "almost parallel" -- why should that be?
Anyway, it should be easy to reduce th...

17:02 Bug #1622: BuiltinOneLiners -- less precise location in error messages
I believe that the error must be clear enough in CoCoALib so that there is no need to intercept (all??) situations li... Anna Maria Bigatti

00:55 Design #1631: Use filesystem::path instead of string (packageDir, CoCoAManFileName)
The global @packageDir@ should probably also be of type @boost::filesystem::path@.
Currently it is @std::string@ a...

10:25 Design #1631: Use filesystem::path instead of string (packageDir, CoCoAManFileName)
It seems that @filesystem::path@ was introduced in C++17.
Anna asks whether we should start compiling with standard ...

10:21 Design #1631 (New): Use filesystem::path instead of string (packageDir, CoCoAManFileName)
In some files we use @std::string@ to represent paths to files.
Replace these with values of type @filesystem::path@...

Which type of answer do we prefer? LIST or MAT?
If we prefer MAT, are the eigenvectors the rows or the columns? ...

11:34 Feature #1526: EmacsUI: help/manual for selected string -- or just for word with cursor on?

11:32 Feature #1526 (In Progress): EmacsUI: help/manual for selected string -- or just for word with cursor on?
Might it make sense to bind also @C-c h@ and perhaps @C-c ?@ or even @C-c C-?@
Just some suggestions.... maybe t...

Done for the CoCoA-5 menu. Anna Maria Bigatti
11:25 Feature #1526: EmacsUI: help/manual for selected string -- or just for word with cursor on?
it is probably easy to add it to the cocoa5-comint menu.
What about the keybinding?

11:14 Support #1398 (Closed): Website: hide/delete all the CoCoA-4 stuff?
Website seems ok now.
Closing.

John Abbott
10:23 Bug #1397 (Closed): Crashes if CoCoAHelp.xml is missing
No longer crashes. So that's good.
Now we just need to clean up the path, but that's in a new issue #1631

18:57 Bug #1397: Crashes if CoCoAHelp.xml is missing
We probably need to change the fn @CoCoAManFileName@ (around line 950 in @OnlineHelp.C@).

18:29 Bug #1397: Crashes if CoCoAHelp.xml is missing
It would be nice (& cleaner) if we could get rid of @packages/../@.
I think this should be possible.
