19:45 CoCoA-5 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 CoCoA-5 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 CoCoA-5 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 CoCoA-5 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 CoCoA-5 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 :-(
John Abbott
16:25 CoCoA-5 Bug #749: IsDefined does not follow reference to undefined optional param
Anna points out that there is a workaround:... John Abbott
16:20 CoCoA-5 Bug #749 (New): IsDefined does not follow reference to undefined optional param
The pseudo-function @IsDefined@ has weird semantics.
Consider this example:...

15:16 CoCoA-5 Design #668 (Closed): Remove keyword "weights"?
Anna Maria Bigatti
15:06 CoCoA-5 Bug #726 (Closed): TopLevel cannot "import" a package variable
*Answer:* package variables are accessed via the fully qualified name.
John Abbott
14:46 CoCoA-5 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 CoCoA-5 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 CoCoA-5 Bug #726: TopLevel cannot "import" a package variable
The problem can be worked around by following this example:... John Abbott
11:55 CoCoA-5 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 CoCoA-5 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 CoCoA-5 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
13:42 CoCoALib Feature #747: New function for making list of symbols (indeterminate names)
I changed all the examples, and commented out the old @symbols@ with 2,3, and 4 arguments.... Anna Maria Bigatti
12:27 CoCoALib Feature #747: New function for making list of symbols (indeterminate names)
I inserted JAA's code in CoCoALib (with a minimal extra check on missing ","s)
It is in symbol.H and C.
I renamed...
Anna Maria Bigatti
12:14 CoCoALib Feature #747: New function for making list of symbols (indeterminate names)
JAA has implemented @SymbolList@ which accepts a string of symbols, and returns the symbols as a @vector<symbol>@.
I...
John Abbott
12:07 CoCoALib Feature #747 (Closed): New function for making list of symbols (indeterminate names)
CoCoA-5 has the nice "shortcut syntax" @R ::= QQ[x,y,z]@ and @R ::= QQ[x[1..4]]@.
In CoCoALib this is often trickier...

17:34 CoCoALib Design #683: Module index component in internal compressed representation
I shall check in shortly; anyway here is the modified line:... John Abbott
17:10 CoCoALib Design #683: Module index component in internal compressed representation
The definition on line @GBEnv.C:48@ does not work with @SmallExponent_t@ being @unsigned long@. JAA is fixing now.

22:31 CoCoALib Feature #142: Improve threadsafety
I wonder whether the default configuration for CoCoALib should be the threadsafe one (which incurs a run-time efficie... John Abbott

13:14 CoCoALib Bug #746: Problem with GBasis in tower of alg extns
Here is a transcript of what happened...... John Abbott
13:13 CoCoALib Bug #746 (New): Problem with GBasis in tower of alg extns
I tried computing a GBasis in a ring with structure like @QQ(alpha)(beta)[x]@ where @alpha@ and @beta@ are algebraic.... John Abbott
13:07 CoCoA-5 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
08:39 CoCoALib Feature #728: Noncommutative algebra "of solvable type"
No. In my understanding, John correctly described in #2 also Ore algebras (taking into account the note he later adde... Werner M Seiler

07:43 CoCoA-5 Feature #336: Mat(Module) should give error
(brought at 100% after 2 years of being closed) Anna Maria Bigatti
07:14 CoCoALib Feature #728: Noncommutative algebra "of solvable type"
If I understood well (I asked Viktor Levandovskyy ;-) the definition in #2 is actually of G-Algebras, and Ore-Algebra... Anna Maria Bigatti

18:40 CoCoALib Feature #520 (Closed): Compute inverse in quotient ring (i.e. division in algebraic extn)
No problems arisen in the last month (perhaps not much real testing either?)
Anyway, closing.
John Abbott
18:38 CoCoALib Support #739 (Closed): Move code in examples into namespace CoCoA
JAA checked, fixed a few oversights. Otherwise seems fine now. Closing.
John Abbott
18:12 CoCoALib Feature #721 (Closed): CheckForInterrupt: string arg to specify where it was called?
After a brief testing period, the mechanism works (but the C5 interpreter needs to be improved so that a helpful mess... John Abbott
18:11 CoCoA-5 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
18:04 CoCoALib Feature #689 (Closed): Fault tolerant rational reconstruction: make bad factor publicly accessible
John Abbott
15:26 CoCoA-5 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...

16:20 CoCoALib Feature #743 (In Progress): Better errors: give supplementary info about the error
When CoCoALib produces an error which is then caught by CoCoA-5, the only information from the error which is shown t... John Abbott
15:57 CoCoA-5 Feature #78: Elim ordering and matrix ordering in CoCoA-5
Probably we can implement this:... Anna Maria Bigatti
15:44 CoCoA-5 Slug #741: C5 GUI: slow to close
Found this @C5.C:931@... John Abbott
15:25 CoCoA-5 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 CoCoA-5 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...
John Abbott
15:20 CoCoA-5 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 CoCoA-5 Feature #359 (Closed): RingOf for list
all done Anna Maria Bigatti
14:47 CoCoA-5 Feature #359 (Feedback): RingOf for list
OK for "RingsOf". Changing manual and making "RingSet" obsolscent Anna Maria Bigatti
15:07 CoCoALib Bug #631 (Closed): Ambiguous: rank for matrix (in ex-matrix1.C)
We use the name *@rk@* for the main function, but allow @Rank@ as a component of a compound name (to increase readabi... John Abbott
14:19 CoCoA-5 Feature #622 (Closed): New function: RandomSubset
Anna Maria Bigatti
11:58 CoCoALib Feature #721: CheckForInterrupt: string arg to specify where it was called?
Doesn't seem to be enough to give a suitable error message to cocoa5.
(interrupt code is in @TmpGReductor.C@ and tes...
Anna Maria Bigatti
11:34 CoCoA-5 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 CoCoA-5 Feature #733 (In Progress): Primary Decomposition in CoCoA-5.1.2: zero dimensional, finite characteristic
Anna Maria Bigatti
11:29 CoCoA-5 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 CoCoA-5 Feature #719 (Feedback): Readline: consider creating a textual interpreter with readline
Tried: it works fine for me. Close? Anna Maria Bigatti
10:55 CoCoALib Support #618: Instructions for compiling libnormaliz
Normaliz is making a new release and we will refine the configuration in September (in Aarhus) Anna Maria Bigatti
10:53 CoCoALib Support #739 (Feedback): Move code in examples into namespace CoCoA
I believe it is all done: there was a problem using @program()@ instead of @CoCoA::program()@ with John compiler, it... Anna Maria Bigatti

17:23 CoCoALib Feature #658 (In Progress): Indets actually in a poly (or vector or matrix)
Anna suggests the result could be a @DynamicBitset@; these appear to be like @vector<bool>@ but also support bitwise ... John Abbott
16:44 CoCoALib Feature #91: Return type & name for "indets" of a PP
JAA observes that we already have some vaguely similar functions:
* @radical(PP)@ same as @gcd(PP,product(all_indet...
John Abbott
15:42 CoCoALib Slug #742 (In Progress): View PP exponent vector (and order vector?) as an array of long?
On my 32-bit linux virtual machine I observe the following:
* with @int@ and @long@ all loops take about 3.0s (NB @i...
John Abbott
15:36 CoCoALib Feature #689 (Feedback): Fault tolerant rational reconstruction: make bad factor publicly accessible
Implemented. Documented. Not really tested :-(
Status --> feedback.

14:01 CoCoA-5 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
07:52 CoCoA-5 Design #490: Duplicate fns: valuation and FactorMultiplicity
I like it as it is:... Anna Maria Bigatti
13:02 CoCoALib Slug #679 (Closed): power for PPs is too slow
Apparently everything was already checked in... So I'm considering that ad hoc in-house testing has already happened... John Abbott
