Hi all,
I just want to report that Maxima 5.12.0 works fine on Mac OS X 10.4.9
running on iMac G5 with the following lisp implementations:
CMUCL 19d, SBCL 1.0.2, clisp 2.41.
I would also like to announce that Imaxima (Emacs graphical UI mode
for Maxima) and Imath (Emacs mode for writing math text) work fine
with Maxima 5.12.0. No update for Maxima 5.12.0 will be posted.
I have updated the Imaxima and Imath web pages for better support
for Windows XP users.
Please visit

for more details.
