15:02 Feature #1169: New function: RandomLinearForm (CoCoALib)
I have added @RandomLinearForm@ to documentation for @SparsePolyRing@.
Probably there should also be a version wit...

Good!! go for it! :-)

14:07 Support #847 (In Progress): Doc for BigInt, BigIntOps, BigRat -- should there be BigRatOps?
I like the name @BigIntOps@. The file does also contain several fns which accept @MachineInt@ args (and several whic... John Abbott
13:57 Design #1182 (Resolved): "mod" for BigInt
I have improved the documentation about @operator%@ by saying that its sign is the same as that of the quotient, and ... John Abbott

21:51 Design #1182: "mod" for BigInt
A quick look on the internet suggests that @a%b@ is uniquely defined only if @a@ is non-negative and @b@ is positive;... John Abbott

19:29 Design #1182: "mod" for BigInt
hmmm, I had a negative n, I didn't think of the different behaviour with negative entries.
I suppose I need to read ...

19:21 Design #1182: "mod" for BigInt
Wait! I need to make a check....
Anna Maria Bigatti
19:12 Design #1182 (Closed): "mod" for BigInt
n % m, with n,m BigInt gives negative values.
Whether this is reasonable when working in FFp, I find it odd for BigI...

12:30 Slug #1181 (In Progress): CpuTime is costly!
It might be useful to have something like @ProgressReporter@ which sets a flag when a time-limit has been exceeded?

12:25 Slug #1181: CpuTime is costly!
I found the problem with an _ad hoc_ program to search for 6x6 matrices with large ratio hadamard/det.
In the main l...

12:21 Slug #1181 (Closed): CpuTime is costly!
A call to *@CpuTime()@* is quite costly (on my machine with Fedora 25 Linux).
This means that a calls to @CheckFo...

11:18 Design #1124: Move examples directory into doc -- or just change makefile?
I have added a dirty hack to @doc/Makefile@ so that @CopyInfo@ can be compiled even when @libcocoa.a@ does not exist

11:05 Design #1180 (Resolved): BigRat(0) unexpectedly compiles! (calls ctor with mpq_t arg)
The impl has been modified:
* @BigInt@ ctor from @mpz_t@ and from @std::string@ now take 2 args, and are @private@; ...

17:58 Design #1180: BigRat(0) unexpectedly compiles! (calls ctor with mpq_t arg)
Since the ambiguity of @BigInt(0)@ derives from the fact that @std::string@ has an implicit ctor from @char*@, it may... John Abbott
11:59 Design #1180: BigRat(0) unexpectedly compiles! (calls ctor with mpq_t arg)
I have replaced the ctor @BigInt(mpz_t)@ by one which requires a second arg (@CopyFromMPZ@), and then changed all cod... John Abbott

20:24 Design #1180: BigRat(0) unexpectedly compiles! (calls ctor with mpq_t arg)
The situation is more complicated than I'd like. Here I'll write about @BigInt@, but it applies just as much to @Big... John Abbott
14:34 Design #1180 (In Progress): BigRat(0) unexpectedly compiles! (calls ctor with mpq_t arg)

It may also help solve nicely a silly but annoying problem with the compilation of @CopyI...
