Full Changelog: Version-22.04.0...Version-22.05.0

Release Version-22.04.0

A bugfix release:

• A Russian translation update from Olesya Gerasimenko
• Repaired drag-and-drop on MacOs (#1624)
• Resolved a bug in parenthesis matching (#1649)
• Faster startup logic

Version-22.03.0

News

• Add an compile option "WXM_INCLUDE_FONTS", which allows to
  specify, if additional fonts should be included.
  Current default: YES; use -DWXM_INCLUDE_FONTS=NO when calling
  CMake to disable that.
  Including fonts caused some issues on MacOS. (#1580)
• Rename command line option --logtostdout to --logtostderr.
  Because the option does print the log messages to STDERR, not STDOUT.
• A better heuristics for finding out what to style as 1D maths
• An updated french translation from Frédéric Chapoton
• Consistent image resolutions
• No more crashes on exporting multiple animations at once (#1616)
• Drag-and-Drop in the table of contents
• Table of contents: Convert sections to subsections and similar (#1629)
• Parenthesis and quote matching now uses the maxima parser.
  This means it now both knows the details of the maxima language
  and is much faster than before.
• A way of limiting the toc depth shown in the table of contents
• Now the problems after a kill(all) should be finally resolved
• Better support for the debugger (#1625)
• Machine-Float NaNs no more causes XML errors
• Labels with hexadecimal numbers no more cause crashes (#1633)
• wxMaxima no more skips chars in subscripted variables (#1632)
• Merging cells per keyboard shortcut works again (#1626)
• Symbols buttons whose symbols the GUI font lacks are now hidden

Note:

The Windows installer contains only wxMaxima, you will need a Maxima installation too.
[The installer is signed, but 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 wxMaxima installer].

Release Version-21.05.2

Automatic compilation on a new release

Changes:

• The integral signs disappeared or were misplaced on some MS Windows computers

Release Version-21.05.1

21.05.1:

• Resolved a segfault on printing that could be triggered on some computers

Note about the Windows installer:

The Windows installer does only include wxMaxima. It is not signed with an expensive EV certificate (as most free software), so maybe you will get a warning from Windows after downloading.
You will still need a Maxima installation (e.g. from https://sourceforge.net/projects/maxima/files/Maxima-Windows/) and have to configure, where Maxima can be found, when you first start this wxMaxima!
An new installer for Maxima, which will include this wxMaxima version will hopefully occur soon.

You can install it with admin and user permissions. If you install without admin permissions, use Uninstall.exe in the wxMaxima directory to uninstall it. If you uninstall it using the Apps&Features menu (as admin) a 'ghost entry' will remain in the list of installed programs.

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').

To select a installation directory for an unattended installation, use /D=directory, e.g. to install to C:\wxmaxima the command would be:
wxMaxima-21.05.1-win64.exe /S /D=C:\wxmaxima

Release Version-21.05.0

21.05.0:

• Long numbers now can be broken into lines
• On Export long numbers sometimes got lost
• The height of folded cells now is calculated correctly, again (bug #1532)
• Printing now can insert pagebreaks within GroupCells (bug #970, #1528,
  #1241, #181, #573,#1082)
• A Russian translation update by OlesyaGerasimenko
• A Ukrainian translation update by Yuri Chornoivan
• Changed the font for the PDF manuals to free Google Noto fonts.
  Now all PDF manuals can be created without missing characters
  (before cyrillic, chinese and greek characters were missing).
• Solved a crash when printing.

Version-21.04.0...Version-21.05.0

wxMaxima-21.05.0-win64.exe /S /D=C:\wxmaxima
This parameter must be the last one.
