Summary:
C: A graphical user interface for Maxima, a powerful computer algebra system
Description:
C: >-
<p>
wxMaxima is a graphical user interface for the computer algebra system Maxima:
a program that solves mathematical problems by manipulating
equations (and outputting the resulting formula), instead of just
calculating a number. wxMaxima eases the use of Maxima by making
most of its commands available through a menu system and by
providing input dialogs for commands that require more than one
argument. It also implements its own display engine that outputs
mathematical symbols directly instead of depicting them with
ASCII characters.
</p>
<p>
wxMaxima also features 2D and 3D inline plots, simple animations,
mixing of text and mathematical calculations to create documents,
exporting of input and output to TeX, document structuring and a
browser for Maxima's manual including command index and full text
searching.

<p>
Fix some bugs.
</p>
<ul>
<li>Keep the wxm/mac difference when saving wxm/exporting mac.
This omits unneeded comments (/* [wxMaxima: input start ] */
(and input end) in a mac file (structural comments (section, ...)
are still saved) and especially omits question/answer comments -
they are unreadable by Maxima (see #2014, not only wxm files but
also mac files were problematic). At least the issue with mac
files is solved.</li>
<li>Replace unicode fractions in math input.</li>
<li>Use wxArtProvider images for the copy/print icons in the config dialogue.
They were very small on Linux (Ubuntu).</li>
<li>Support webp images if wxWidgets >= 3.3.0 is used.</li>
<li>Fix the General Math sidebar resize issue (#2022).</li>
<li>Fix the resizing of the 'Insert cell' sidebar (same problem as
the 'General Math' sidebar).</li>
<li>MacOS: Fix debug message boxes after closing a file (#2016).</li>
<li>Fix build with current Mac XCode ('old'/new' build system).
(reported in a comment in issue #2016).</li>
<li>Fix a crash when copying a input cell (collapsed to only show the input).</li>
<li>Fix a crash when closing the configuration menu on OpenBSD (#2027).</li>
<li>Fix a problem with wxplot2d/wxplot3d on OpenBSD (#2027).</li>
<li>Fix a crash when deleting a text cell (#2041).</li>
<li>Fix subscripts of greek letters (#2045).</li>
<li>Fix the "Numerical solutions of polynomial" (with and without bigfloats) wizards.
The allroots() and bfallroots() functions use only one argument, not two.</li>
<li>Save the chosen invertion status in the configuration. Fixes issue #2049.</li>
<li>Try to highlight input text that coincides with selected output text.</li>
<li>diff() now doesn't add a ",1" if only the 1st derivate is meant.</li>
<li>A more consistent worksheet zoom feature.</li>
<li>Maxima's state should now be displayed in the windows task bar.</li>
</ul>

<p>
Fix some bugs.
</p>
<ul>
<li>Use the (standard) wxWidgets log window instead of our own log pane.
Less code to maintain, more features (e.g. clear log, save log).
In "Release" builds the log window will be hidden (and can be enabled
using View->Toggle log window, otherwise it is shown.</li>
<li>Make the option "--logtostderr" work on Windows.
(Windows GUI applications do not have STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR assigned,
an extra 'text window' with the log messages will be opened at startup).</li>
<li>Do not set lmxchar/rmxchar (used for displaying a matrix in text mode).
It did not work at all. Maxima provides a reasonable default - and
people probably expect the same, if they are using command line Maxima
and wxMaxima. (#1926)</li>
<li>Kill Lisp (e.g. sbcl.exe) when closing wxMaxima. (#1963, #1922, #1824, #1199)</li>
<li>Correct heading colors (#2005)</li>
<li>Repaired the Equations->Solve numerical->Find numerical solution" menu (#2010)</li>
<li>Included examples (10MinuteTutorial.wxm, testbench_simple.wxmx) were affected
by the Maxima/Gnuplot 6 problem. (see issue #1960)</li>
<li>Support wxWidgets, if it was build with '--enable-utf8=yes' (#2012)</li>
<li>Fix compiling with wxWidgets without webview.</li>
<li>HTML export/Mathjax: Don't remove 1st/last label char (#2003)</li>

<p>
Fix some bugs and crashes.
</p>
<ul>
<li>Remove the change label width popup menu (#1964).
It was not working at all and caused crashes. And I think the
label width is not changed so often, so that a (working)
possibility in the configuration menu is enough.</li>
<li>If an empty worksheet is saved as wxmx, allow it to be read again (#1978).
The generated content.xml was empty, which was no valid XML.</li>
<li>Fix compiling with clang++.</li>
<li>CopyAsMathML: encode "<" and ">" as HTML entities (valid XML).</li>
<li>CopyAsMathML: improvements (operators and identifiers)</li>
<li>Fix the check for Gnuplot-Cairo on Windows.</li>
<li>Fix the (Windows) crash in the suggestions menu (#1980).</li>
<li>HTML export: print the output labels on the left side.</li>
</ul>
