Wonderful! Congratulations to all.

Some notes from Cygwin:

(1) Initially the cygport build fails with

*** ERROR: Could not find muparser-2.2.5/configure.ac or
muparser-2.2.5/configure.in

It's true that both of those files are missing. There is
muparser-2.2.5/configure, so I was able to work around that and get the
build to succeed. But it seems like an oversight. Will you be adding
muparser-2.2.5/configure.ac?

(2) Cygwin has muparser-2.2.5 already packaged, so it might be better to
use that. Will configure have a --without-included-muparser option, similar
to --without-included-pcre2?

(3) It looks as though in this release the math builtin is being rebuilt
with muparser, instead of bc. If that's true, please mention it in the
release notes, as it will allow packagers to remove the dependency on bc.

Thanks for the new release!
Andrew
