Making a copy could b... - 19:59 Feature #202: MatrixView/function for viewing a single row or column (RowMat, ColMat)

While it should be harmless to a...

- 22:20 Design #1377 (Feedback): CpuTimeLimit: limit "intervals" between full checks
- I think the current impl is acceptable; so moving to _feedback_. Doc seems OK too.
- 15:43 Feature #1395: SHA checksum for released code

- 22:51 Slug #1394 (Resolved): Oddly slow GBasis computation (slow final cleanup)
- The following computation seems to spend more time in "clean up" than elsewhere; is this reasonable?...
- 22:15 Bug #1319 (Feedback): Problem rebuilding dependencies when file PREPROCESSOR_DEFNS.H does not exist
- It is probably best to regard this as resolved, and just test it as is.
Perhaps it is not perfect, but I think the c...

- 21:52 Bug #1319: Problem rebuilding dependencies when file PREPROCESSOR_DEFNS.H does not exist
- I have just repeated the steps described in comment 4, and this time it worked as hoped.
I have a *doubt*: in the ...

I added an example in ex-c++.C.
Now I realized that there is a ... - 18:23 Feature #1212: New function: GBasisByHomog
- This works fine now, but only for few orderings.
The general case will not be done for this release. Postponing. - 17:34 Feature #1094: Revive code for SelfSaturating GBasis

Closing after spending 3 months in _feedback_. - 22:17 Feature #303 (Closed): Rows and Columns of a matrix

Now it gives an error:... - 14:28 Feature #1381: Type ideal for ZZ[x[1..n]]
