17:26 CoCoA-5 Bug #1577 (Resolved): radical: lex order, ERROR: Ring is not standard graded
- Anna has implemented the obvious workaround: map into a new poly ring (with degrevlex), and then unmap the result.
S... -
17:00 CoCoA-5 Bug #1396 (Resolved): Website: download page for CoCoA-4 burns CPU
- Anna removed some Java script... now seems OK.

09:50 CoCoA-5 Feature #1112: New function: IsEmpty

22:07 CoCoA-5 Feature #250 (Feedback): CoCoALib BuildInfo vs CoCoA-5 VersionInfo

I think so. Anyway, I tried the example mentioned in the description, an... -

*OBSERVATION:* it... -
18:03 CoCoALib Design #786 (Resolved): MemPool: review min and max loaf sizes

Marking as "resolved" (don't know by whom or when).

12:16 CoCoA-5 Feature #723: Referring to indets with multiple indices from a polyring
