08:00 Slug #777: SLUG: elimination: Apart from the improvements we can do for @elim@ (and are about to do ;-)
I think @myFinalizeGBasis@ can be improved... Anna Maria Bigatti

13:27 Slug #1009 (Closed): coefficients for MinPoly e Frobenius: The function creating the vector of coefficients (wrt a QB) can be improved.
(this is an internal and costly functio... Anna Maria Bigatti
13:17 Slug #777: SLUG: elimination: The same example computed using @MinPolyQuot@ is much faster: about 0.2s :-)
Maybe @elim@ can be programmed to us... John Abbott
13:14 Slug #777 (In Progress): SLUG: elimination: I happened upon the file for the example, and tried it with @SetVerbosityLevel(1999)@.
It seems that much of the tim... John Abbott
12:45 Feature #962: General verbose mode?: How about starting with just two ranges?
1--9 for users
10--??? for CoCoA packages and CoCoALib
I had also consi... John Abbott
08:36 Feature #962: General verbose mode?: I prefer the mnemonic number of digits. So I suggest
1 digit -- free for users
2 digits -- cocoalib and cocoa pac... Anna Maria Bigatti

18:40 Feature #962: General verbose mode?: Anna's idea of reserving certain ranges for different "levels" of function appeals to me. I think her ranges are too... John Abbott
18:20 Feature #1008 (Feedback): square function: All tests pass. I have now checked in the change. ==> feedback
John Abbott

14:47 Bug #1004 (Feedback): In scripts: use portable test for absolute paths: No problems has been reported so far, so moving to "feedback".
I think the solution I have chosen should be compat... John Abbott
14:44 Feature #1008 (Resolved): square function: OK, then we agree to eliminate the function @square@. It will disappear the next time I do a check in (later today?)
John Abbott
09:44 Feature #1008: square function: If we had a @square@ we should document how it differs from @power(x,2)@. So I think we'd better not.
If we have @m... Anna Maria Bigatti

16:20 Feature #1008 (In Progress): square function: So far we have not really felt the need for a @square@ function in CoCoALib (presumably).
So maybe it does not mak... John Abbott
16:19 Feature #1008: square function: A search for @square@ showed that there had been a @square@ function for @RingElem@, but that it was removed (presuma... John Abbott
16:14 Feature #1008 (Closed): square function: In @utils.H@ there is a fn called @square@ defined only for @double@. It used only in @ApproxPts.C@.
I am sure th... John Abbott

17:33 Feature #962: General verbose mode?: I think we should set some rules like:
1 - 9 (or to 99) reserved for users.
100 - ?? for higher cocoa/cocolib fu... Anna Maria Bigatti

21:49 Feature #1005: Makefile: install target for CoCoALib: I have added some lines to copy documentation and examples:
* @doc/CoCoALib.pdf@ is copied into @/usr/local/include... John Abbott
16:51 Feature #1005 (In Progress): Makefile: install target for CoCoALib: I have already written a first *@install@* target for CoCoALib (and a first attempt to use it required a system reins... John Abbott
16:43 Feature #1005 (Closed): Makefile: install target for CoCoALib: There should be an *@install@* target for CoCoALib.
John Abbott
21:44 Bug #1004: In scripts: use portable test for absolute paths: Anna reports that the modified script worked as desired on M$ plaform.
So I have changed the other scripts (which ne... John Abbott
14:18 Bug #1004 (In Progress): In scripts: use portable test for absolute paths: I have found a plausible solution on StackExchange (256434):
the following (Bourne) shell function was given as a so... John Abbott
14:10 Bug #1004 (Closed): In scripts: use portable test for absolute paths: Anna has just reported that some scripts give incorrect errors about paths not being absolute.
The problem probabl... John Abbott
14:07 Support #976: configure: auxiliary scripts should be consistent about error messages: I am happy with the format of the printed error messages. It remains to decide between @/dev/stderr@ and @/dev/stdou... John Abbott

07:55 Feature #1001: CoCoALib: ideas for student projects: Translate a cocoa-5 function from a package into CoCoALib.

* *@FactorUnivariate@* ... Anna Maria Bigatti

15:20 Feature #931: GBasis verbose mode: I set verbosity level to 1965 then tried calling @ImplicitHypesurface@ with the option @ElimTH@, but no verbose messa... John Abbott
15:16 Bug #975: configure: possibly ignore GMP compilation flags: At this point I do not see any purpose in keeping even the option to extract compilation flags from @gmp.h@, so I now... John Abbott

22:25 Bug #975: configure: possibly ignore GMP compilation flags: One thing which puzzles me is that CoCoALib compiles fine and all tests pass on my old MacBook even without *@-m64@* ... John Abbott
18:07 Bug #975 (Feedback): configure: possibly ignore GMP compilation flags: I have changed it on my machines, but cannot currently check in (because cannot make VPN connection).
John Abbott
18:01 Design #999 (Resolved): configuration: include -std=c++03 by default?: After thinking about having to compile+install CoCoA/CoCoALib on numerous recent Linux boxes for the upcoming CoCoALi... John Abbott
