|
| Hello,
|
| I'm not planning an additional 5.17 release at this time
| (although things could change).
| I'll make a general announcement about 5.17.1 tomorrow.
|
| Some problems with 5.17.1 were reported. None of these seem
| serious enough to require fixing on the release branch.
| There are hundreds of open bug reports; I don't see that the
| following are any more important than any of the others.
|
| (1) limit(1/x, x, 0) => infinity: intended result, won't change
| (2) erf sometimes returns complex result (with small imaginary
| part) for real float argument: not serious
| (3) problem loading affine package: situation unchanged from
| last release (couldn't load affine due to a different problem)
| (4) Problem running 5.17.1 on one user's Windows system:
| problem only for that one user to the best of my knowledge
| (5) asksign nuttiness in limit(a*x, x, 0): annoying, not incorrect
|
| Hope I didn't leave out anything too important.
|
| Thanks for your patience.

| All right! I did not complain, but I had to report that
| in any of my windows systems (WNT4&SP6a, WXPP&SP3, WVHB&SP1
| or WVB&SP1) I had no problems with Maxima -that is
| from 5.9.0 (10/2/2003) up to 5.16.3, included- until 5.17.0,
| 5.17.1, which, surprisingly enough, were hanged up under
| WXPH&SP3, where they were tested.
|
| Therefore, I tested 5.17.1 again in WXPP&SP3, and there:
|
| "No unexpected errors were found."
|
| I do not dare to attempt any suggestion.
|

Οπότε,
λαμβανομένων υπ' όψιν όλων των ανωτέρω,
μπορεί τ ώ ρ α να προταθεί η τελευταία Maxima 5.17.1:
