hello,
the one unresolved problem which i believe we should fix before releasing 5.9.2
is the placement of newlines. see bug report # 1217122 .
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1217122&group_id=4933&atid=104933)
this topic seems to have been discussed most recently here:
http://www.math.utexas.edu/pipermail/maxima/2005/thread.html#9091
at present the problem is that there is a lack of newlines
after stuff is printed by format, mtell, merror, or other means.
i can tinker with throwing in (fresh-line) here or there, but i don't
have any deep understanding of how this is supposed to work.
however i am pretty sure that stuff like
(%i20) grind(foo+bar);
foo+bar$(%o20) done
is wrong.
if someone knows how to fix this, please, let's hear about it.
(i've fixed some minor bugs related to upper/lower case
so this newline business is what remains.)
all the best,
robert dodier
