Dear Dan, Robert and all,
Sorry for not taking part in the discussion on the maxima user mailing
list.
I have been a bit busy traveling to China for a while and did not have a
good internet connection there...
As for the inclusion of imaxima and imath in the official distribution
of Maxima,
that is a great idea and I am more than happy to work in that direction,
especially with this unexpectedly great news of the resolution of the
breqn package licensing issue.
The biggest issue of all is that the new breqn package seems
incompatible
with the current imaxima and imath. The first job for me is to make it
work!!
If anyone already done this, please, please let me know!!
My plan is like the following:
As soon as I make the imaxima and imath to work with the latest breqn,
I will release the work as 0.99. Then, I will ask Robert san to import
the
files into Maxima CVS.
Since the 5.14.0 is already in preparation phase, I feel the above to
happen for 5.15.0 release.
Any comments are welcome!
