Bug fixes and performance improvements. In detail:

  • Got rid of some compiler and cppcheck warnings
  • Big performance improvements
  • A "maxima versus typical programming languages" tutorial.
  • Table of contents: Jump to the chapter the cursor is in.
  • Resolved another crash in the config dialogue
  • Updated the unicode character list
  • Resolved more potential event ID clashes
  • Use an external file as wxMathML.lisp is now selected using a command line option, not configured in the GUI. This is mostly needed for developers, no need to expose it to the end user.
  • Better handling of paths to maxima when starting new wxMaxima processes
  • new wxMaxima processes now get more of the command-line args of the parent process
  • wxMaxima no more tries to install its own fonts.

Windows installer

This installer does only contain wxMaxima. You will need a Maxima installation too and will need to configure the path to Maxima in wxMaxima.

Maybe Windows will warn you, that "This program is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer."

The reason may be, that the installer was not often downloaded and it is not signed with an Extended Validation (EV) Code Signing certificate.

[The code signing certificate is not an "EV"-code signing certificate, which means no "instant trust" with "Microsoft SmartScreen", but hopefully better than an unsigned installer. As "Publisher" you will see "FH Joanneum", which is the university of applied sciences, where I work (look in the "Details" to see my name). Thanks a lot to the FH Joanneum, that I got the code signing certificate and may use it for the Maxima/wxMaxima installer].

If you want to do an unattended installation (e.g. if you plan to install wxMaxima on many computers in a school, university or company), this installer (and uninstaller) understands the command line switch "/S" (for 'silent install').
