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)

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').
