13:43 Slug #1136 (In Progress): IsInRadical: sometimes a bit slow
With the original exponents (4,5) the timings I obtained are:
* @IsInRadical(f1,I)@ took 2.6s
* @IsInRadical(f2,I)...

13:33 Slug #1136 (Closed): IsInRadical: sometimes a bit slow
I noticed that @test-RadicalMembership1.C@ was rather slow, and wanted to make it faster.
It tests for membership ...

16:07 Bug #1135: Compilaton with --debug configuration option gives errors

if it's done, 60!

One big disadvantage of the CoCoALib documentation compared to the CoCoA-5 documentation is the lack of "searchabilit... John Abbott

Anna Maria Bigatti
10:04 Feature #1132: Canonical homomorphism for (some) polynomial rings?
JAA thinks that *@CanonicalHom@* should be fairly general, and not just a "single-step".
Perhaps the "single-step" v...

09:28 Feature #1132 (New): Canonical homomorphism for (some) polynomial rings?
It would be convenient to have an automatic homomorphism P1 -> P2 (differing only for ordering)
which effectively is...

I have checked in a first impl. It seems to work on a couple of simple tests.
The main problem is that it produce...

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 :-)

JAA thinks the current situation is acceptable, and does not see an easy way to improve it.

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.
