18:37 CoCoALib Design #291 (Closed): NewZZmod and NewRingFp: improve manual, clarify implementation: For small primes p the functions *@NewZZmod(p)@* and *@NewRingFp(p)@* are equivalent (or not?).
I think that should ... Anna Maria Bigatti

15:57 CoCoALib Slug #129: Better GCD: (copied from some old handwritten notes)
GCD univ over QQ and ZZ (with normalization)
............. Fp (... John Abbott
15:25 CoCoA-5 Support #290 (In Progress): Which functions are defined in CoCoALibSupplement?: Note for AMBigatti: explain the philosophy of what goes where. Anna Maria Bigatti

17:25 CoCoALib Feature #84 (Feedback): Names for random streams: The unified documentation had not been finished. It is now much better, and can be regarded as good enough (though s... John Abbott
16:47 CoCoALib Feature #289 (New): PrimeField -- new fn?: Is it worth adding a new fn *@PrimeField@*?
@PrimeField(0)@ gives @RingQQ()@
@PrimeField(p)@ gives @NewZmod(p)@
... John Abbott

16:12 CoCoA-5 Feature #273: Package for Polynomial Algebra Homomorphisms: Giulia has done several examples in quotients of polynomial algebras.
She had various questions (mostly related to f... John Abbott

18:20 CoCoALib Support #288 (Closed): DynamicBitset example using LPP: Add documentation to show how to create a @DynamicBitset@ from a polynomial (which happpens to be a monomial). All y... John Abbott

19:10 CoCoALib Feature #283: Rational approximation: Added tests for various functions related to continued fractions. As a consequence, I found another bug (and fixed it). John Abbott
16:06 CoCoA-5 Bug #287: --fullCoCoALibError prints too much (Try/UponError): Here is a simplistic solution: print all the "stack backtrace" information to a @string@. If the error is caught som... John Abbott
12:00 CoCoA-5 Bug #287: --fullCoCoALibError prints too much (Try/UponError): It seems difficult to do because the error is actually dealt with by a proper C++ *try*, whereas printing (the error ... Anna Maria Bigatti
11:21 CoCoA-5 Bug #287 (New): --fullCoCoALibError prints too much (Try/UponError): When using the flag *--fullCoCoALibError* CoCoA-5 prints the full CoCoALib error message.
It does so even inside t... Anna Maria Bigatti
15:52 Support #266 (In Progress): Compilation on M$Windows: cygwin: I have added a new file *@INSTALL-cygwin@* in the CoCoA root directory; it contains a summary of various hints for pr... John Abbott
12:24 CoCoA-5 Support #286: How to test (automatically) a user defined CoCoA function: I describe here an easy way to check a list of tests (from @CoCoA-5/tests/anna.cocoa5@):... Anna Maria Bigatti
10:43 CoCoA-5 Feature #101: rethrow in Try .. UponError .. EndTry: What about this?
(note that, as said above, all other error information is lost :-( )... Anna Maria Bigatti

18:52 CoCoA-5 Support #286 (Closed): How to test (automatically) a user defined CoCoA function: When developing and changing a cocoa function it is useful to repeatedly run some tests.
Explain how to do this easily. Anna Maria Bigatti
18:34 CoCoALib Feature #283 (Feedback): Rational approximation: JAA has changed the names (as agreed in point 2). Also changed doc.
Fixed a bug -- it gave the wrong answer for a... John Abbott
