Hi all,
I was recently at the ICMS and EACA conferences in Spain,
where I showed my Maxima package and the electronic book
which uses it.
It was a pitty not to see any of you there.
I think we should do something to be more visible.
I think I managed to convince somehow to use Maxima
or at least give it a try.
There were a few people who have used Maxima.
One of which is the implementer of the Texmacs interface
which will get some bugfixes very soon.
---------
I also have a wish for the very next version of xmaxima:
namely, the possibility to reedit a former input line and
evaluate it even when the (re)editing starts from the beginning
Note:
If I have
(%i1) 2+2;
4
and I re-edit as:
(%i2) 3+2+2;
4
(3 is shown in a different color)
but (in the latest xmaxima under Windows)
(%i2) 2+2+3;
7
In Linux the previous xmaxima had the same problem
even when the re-editing was done from the end.
----------
I also have 2 wishes for the next version
of (x)maxima (I guess this is possible only after 5.10):
1. name spaces
(2 level name space system would do in most cases)
2. history in xmaxima
(useful when the output is hundreds of lines and
you want to see what you typed before)
Regards
Fabrizio
