17:21 Feature #1094: Revive code for SelfSaturating GBasis
Understood (probably) what the interface was meant to be.
Written test code, seems to work well :-)
Final interre...

15:28 Feature #587: port to CoCoALib: Homomorphism pkg (ker, IsInjective, IsSurjective..)
What is the status of this issue? Isn't it nearly finished?
Related to thi is the use of @PreImage@ in some CoCoA...

16:12 Feature #730 (Closed): Stats in GBMill (GReductor)
Closing this issue.
May be improved, but it is acceptable for the general requirement.
I needed make a more specifi...

As for ideals. Anna Maria Bigatti
14:06 Design #908: Sum of ideals: what are the generators of (x) + (0)?
I have met this problem in a particular context (hyperplane arrangements).
We constructed an ideal and then asked @S...

17:13 Design #1125: Separate install script for CoCoALib?
A crucial aspect is passing to the script all the values it will need (including a path which might contain awkward c... John Abbott
16:38 Design #1125 (New): Separate install script for CoCoALib?
The @install@ target in the top @Makefile@ for CoCoALib is about 70 lines long.
It would probably be better to mak...

If we do move @examples/@ into @doc/@ then presumably this should also be the case for an installed version of CoCoAL... John Abbott
15:24 Design #1124 (In Progress): Move examples directory into doc -- or just change makefile?
Anna was concerned that "hiding" @examples/@ inside @doc/@ might make it less visible; but apart from that doubt she ... John Abbott

15:20 Feature #1005: Makefile: install target for CoCoALib
Before installing CoCoA you must compile *both* the library *and* the documentation (incl. @examples/index.html@).

16:54 Design #908: Sum of ideals: what are the generators of (x) + (0)?
I have spoken briefly to Renzo about this.
He thinks it is most natural if @gens(ideal(L)) = L@ always.
Ideal s...

15:37 Bug #1121 (Rejected): PrevPrime and NextPrime anomalies
*@ERR::UtenteScemo!!@*
I somehow failed to notice that the loop also failed in CoCoA-5... oops!
Oddly enough, I...
John Abbott
15:18 Bug #1121 (Rejected): PrevPrime and NextPrime anomalies

15:09 Design #829 (Closed): PPOrderingCtor: name of mem fn which actually constructs?
Eliminated @NewLexOrdering@, @NewStdDegLexOrdering@, @NewStdDegRevLexOdering@.
Made all consequent changes. Changed...

12:37 Feature #357: Constructor for vectors? CoCoAVector
I'm postponing again. We need to discuss this: the design does not convince me, and I hope that when we switch to C+... John Abbott
12:34 Feature #1052 (Closed): ReadExpr(P, string) and RingElem(P, string) in CoCoALib
Even though @ReadExpr(R, str)@ and @RingElem(R, str)@ do the same thing, we can probably leave them both in CoCoALib ... John Abbott

12:16 Bug #1064 (Closed): Bug in MinPolyModular (ugly prime)

14:09 Feature #1090 (Resolved): ExternaLib-MathSAT: first prototype

13:50 Support #976: configure: auxiliary scripts should be consistent about error messages
I now think that it is best that error messages be sent to @/dev/stderr@ since that is probably what most (experience... John Abbott

08 Nov 2017

18:39 Feature #958: New function: multiplicity and dim
Should this issue be postponed?
John Abbott
18:37 Feature #1033 (Feedback): Split poly into homog parts
I think the *@CutLF@* function solves this issue.
Do you agree? If so, we can close the issue :-)
John Abbott
18:31 Support #574 (Closed): Tidy CoCoA root directory
JAA thinks the current situation is acceptable, and does not see an easy way to improve it.
Closing.
John Abbott
18:16 Bug #593 (Closed): Temporary directories used during configuration
The scripts seems to work fine now.
Closing.
John Abbott
18:13 Feature #759 (Closed): Configuration: where to keep source for test compilations?
I think all scripts use here documents now.
Anyway, this issue can be closed.
John Abbott
18:08 Bug #1078 (Closed): makefile: ungraceful when interrupted
I have not really tested this (as I do not often interrupt a @make@, especially during the rebuilding of the dependen... John Abbott

14:38 Feature #1052: ReadExpr(P, string) and RingElem(P, string) in CoCoALib
Does this change make the file @RingElemInput@ obsolete?
At least the function *@ReadExpr@* should be regarded as ob...
John Abbott
14:37 Feature #1052 (Feedback): ReadExpr(P, string) and RingElem(P, string) in CoCoALib
JAA has updated all tests. John Abbott
14:24 Design #1063 (Closed): Catching an (expected) error
John Abbott
14:22 Design #1065 (Closed): Design: should we allow an ideal to change ring?
John Abbott
14:12 Bug #1082 (Closed): factor in ZZ[x] gives errors
Why didn't I give at least one failing example?
Anyway, it seems OK now... so closing.
John Abbott

13:39 Feature #1117 (In Progress): Better printing of negative coeffs
JAA suggests that we handle integer and rational coeffs specially; all other coeffs are handled in a generic way.

16:48 Bug #756 (Closed): frobby (v0.9.0) does not compile with g++-4.8
JAA has a temporary version of FROBBY available in @frobby_v0.9.3.tgz@
This seems to avoid the portability problem...

I have made a preliminary version of @configure@ and various auxiliary scripts which do not expect extra CXXFLAGS for... John Abbott

John Abbott
15:50 Feature #1102 (Closed): Implement RootBound
John Abbott
15:49 Feature #255 (Closed): Use BOOST lib default location if possible
JAA thinks this has already been resolved adequately in the intervening 5 years.
Closing.
John Abbott
15:31 Feature #796 (Closed): CoCoALib function for radical (or SqFree) of a polynomial
OK, let's use *@radical@* then (both for ideals and ring elements); it is the clearest.
Closing.

John Abbott
15:24 Support #574 (Resolved): Tidy CoCoA root directory
I think this has been mostly done.
There is no longer the GPLv2 file, no any file called @INSTALL@ (but there is @...

John Abbott
14:41 Feature #37: matrix constructors
*MatByRows/Cols* is now available in CoCoALib.
All other questions have been dealt with, more or less directly.

14:31 Feature #37: matrix constructors
