Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "wxmaxima"
* Package name: wxmaxima
Version : 18.10.1-1
Upstream Author : Gunter Königsmann
* URL : http://wxmaxima-developers.github.io/wxmaxima/
* License : GPL
Section : math
It builds those binary packages:
wxmaxima - GUI for the computer algebra system Maxima
To access further information about this package, please visit the following
URL:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/wxmaxima
Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
dget -x
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/wxmaxima/wxmaxima_18.10.1-1.dsc
wxMaxima is a full-featured (and quite fast) graphical user interface for
maxima, a program
that is specialized in symbolics math but that can do dloating-point
calculations (either
with native floats or arbitrary-length floating-point numbers) or with
arbitrary-length
rational numbers. A sample session would be:
(%i2) eq:x^3+5*x+7=4;
(eq)x^3+5*x+7=4
(%i3) solve(eq,x);
(%o3)
[x=(sqrt(743)/(2*3^(3/2))-3/2)^(1/3)*((-1)/2-(sqrt(3)*%i)/2)-(5*((sqrt(3)*%i)/2+(-1)/2))/(3*(sqrt(743)/(2*3^(3/2))-3/2)^(1/3)),x=(sqrt(743)/(2*3^(3/2))-3/2)^(1/3)*((sqrt(3)*%i)/2+(-1)/2)-(5*((-1)/2-(sqrt(3)*%i)/2))/(3*(sqrt(743)/(2*3^(3/2))-3/2)^(1/3)),x=(sqrt(743)/(2*3^(3/2))-3/2)^(1/3)-5/(3*(sqrt(743)/(2*3^(3/2))-3/2)^(1/3))]
(%i4) float(%);
(%o4)
[x=1.039395854606503*(-0.8660254037844386*%i-0.5)-1.603495587634067*(0.8660254037844386*%i-0.5),x=1.039395854606503*
(0.8660254037844386*%i-0.5)-1.603495587634067*(-0.8660254037844386*%i-0.5),x=-0.5640997330275641]
Changes since the last upload:
* A new upstream version that comes with many bugfixes, features and
performance improvements.
* Updated the Homepage and the main upstream contact of the program.
* Dropped all the patches as they are incorporated in the new upstream
release.
The upstream changes are:
* Defer any try to change Maxima's configuration until all questions are
answered.
* A menu item that sets the autosubscript feature for the current worksheet.
* A menu allowing to switch floats to engineering format.
* Maxima can now pass the values of variables to wxMaxima.
* Autocompletion for functions from lisp-only packages and for all of
maxima's.
built in functions.
* A context-sensitive "draw" sidepane.
* We now allow a packet from Maxima to end in the middle of an unicode
codepoint.
* If the name of a lisp function is known it now is displayed.
* A right-click menu that copies an animation to the clipboard.
* A new default value for the current MathJaX release.
* A "recent packages" menu for packages loaded from load() or from the menu.
* Advertise the current file and the file's state to the Operating System
* Copy as Enhanced Metafile (Windows only).
* Code simplifications.
* A dockable panel for the debug messages.
* A more modern theme.
* Draw: A right-click menu allowing to open images from the current session as
interactive gnuplot sessions.
* Migrate the config file to a XDG-compatible location if wxWidgets is new
enough
to support it.
* A "Tip of the day" dialogue that allows for resizing, scrollbars and work
while
it is still open.
* Matrices can now be displayed using round and square brackets.
* Various High-DPI enhancements.
* Enhancements for low-resolution screens.
* Many bug fixes.
* Reduced the number of autogenerated files, installed files and external
dependencies to a minimum.
* Big performance improvements, again.
Kind Regards,
Gunter Königsmann
