Releases: wxMaxima-developers/wxmaxima
wxMaxima 26.05.0
- Fix search and replace. Before in a longer string - e.g. "aaaaaaaaa"
only every second occurrence was replaced, when (e.g.) one wanted to
replace "a" by "b". - Update Hungarian and Russian translations.
- Fix crashes at startup on MacOS 26.2 "Tahoe" (#2060).
- Improvements in Plot2dWiz and Plot3dWiz.
- Fix the "Hide all Sidebars" menu option, it did not work.
(Changed from "Hide all Toolbars"), it hides sidebars, not the toolbar. - Build system: Allow changing the C++ standard using CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD.
- Build system: Use C++20 by default, if the compiler supports it.
C++14 still works. - Build system: Fix compiling with C++20, C++23 and C++26.
- Fix webp support for wxWidgets >= 3.3.0.
- Fix 2nd 'Special constant' button in the integrate wizard.
- Fix many issues in the integrate numerically menu (#2069).
Also mentioned "QUADPACK" in the menu, so that one knows, from what
Maxima package these special functions come. - Don't include dot files in the release archive (#2068).
- New compile option WXM_DISABLE_QA (#2064).
- Fix the 'Create a list from a list' menu (mentioned in the discussion forum).
- Fix the 'Extract nth element of a list' menu.
- Fix the 'Do for all list elements' menu.
- Fix the 'export list to csv file' and 'read list from csv file' menu.
It was not working at all. Renamed to 'read nested list from csv file', the
menu item is using read_nested_list(). Mentioned in the discussion forum. - Fix the 'Apply a function to each list element' menu. Mentioned in the discussion forum.
- Fix the List/Push menu (wrong order of arguments). Mentioned in the discussion forum.
- Provide a relevant OSDescription in the top bar.
- Discard intermediate PNG plots from with_slider_draw (#2081).
- A better 'List sort' wizard. (Mentioned in the discussion forum).
- Fix the Help->Example and Help->Apropos menus.
- Fix the Matrix->Row and columns operations->Remove rows or columns menu.
Change to one 'Remove rows' and one 'Remove columns' menu. - Fix statistics sidebar
(wxbarsplot, wxboxplot, wxpiechart, mean, median, std were not working) - Fix inconsistent behavior in the list menu (mentioned in the discussion forum)
- Make toolbar icons HDPI (#2074).
wxMaxima 26.01.0
26.01.0
- 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. - Replace unicode fractions in math input.
- Use wxArtProvider images for the copy/print icons in the config dialogue.
They were very small on Linux (Ubuntu). - Support webp images if wxWidgets >= 3.3.0 is used.
- Fix the General Math sidebar resize issue (#2022).
- Fix the resizing of the 'Insert cell' sidebar (same problem as
the 'General Math' sidebar). - MacOS: Fix debug message boxes after closing a file (#2016).
- Fix build with current Mac XCode ('old'/new' build system).
(reported in a comment in issue #2016). - Fix a crash when copying a input cell (collapsed to only show the input).
- Fix a crash when closing the configuration menu on OpenBSD (#2027).
- Fix a problem with wxplot2d/wxplot3d on OpenBSD (#2027).
- Fix a crash when deleting a text cell (#2041).
- Fix subscripts of greek letters (#2045).
- Fix the "Numerical solutions of polynomial" (with and without bigfloats) wizards.
The allroots() and bfallroots() functions use only one argument, not two. - Save the chosen invertion status in the configuration. Fixes issue #2049.
- Try to highlight input text that coincides with selected output text.
- diff() now doesn't add a ",1" if only the 1st derivate is meant.
- A more consistent worksheet zoom feature.
- Maxima's state should now be displayed in the windows task bar.

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').

wxMaxima 25.04.0
A bugfix release
- 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. - 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). - 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) - Kill Lisp (e.g. sbcl.exe) when closing wxMaxima. (#1963, #1922, #1824, #1199)
- Correct heading colors (#2005)
- Repaired the Equations->Solve numerical->Find numerical solution" menu (#2010)
- Included examples (10MinuteTutorial.wxm, testbench_simple.wxmx) were affected
by the Maxima/Gnuplot 6 problem. (see issue #1960) - Support wxWidgets, if it was build with '--enable-utf8=yes' (#2012)
- Fix compiling with wxWidgets without webview.
- HTML export/Mathjax: Don't remove 1st/last label char (#2003)

wxMaxima 25.01.0
A bugfix release
- 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.
- 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.
- Fix compiling with clang++.
- CopyAsMathML: encode "<" and ">" as HTML entities (valid XML).
- CopyAsMathML: improvements (operators and identifiers)
- Fix the check for Gnuplot-Cairo on Windows.
- Fix the (Windows) crash in the suggestions menu (#1980).
- HTML export: print the output labels on the left side.
