21.05.1:

  • Resolved a segfault on printing that could be triggered on some computers

Note about the Windows installer:

The Windows installer does only include wxMaxima. It is not signed with an expensive EV certificate (as most free software), so maybe you will get a warning from Windows after downloading.
You will still need a Maxima installation (e.g. from https://sourceforge.net/projects/maxima/files/Maxima-Windows/) and have to configure, where Maxima can be found, when you first start this wxMaxima!
An new installer for Maxima, which will include this wxMaxima version will hopefully occur soon.

You can install it with admin and user permissions. If you install without admin permissions, use Uninstall.exe in the wxMaxima directory to uninstall it. If you uninstall it using the Apps&Features menu (as admin) a 'ghost entry' will remain in the list of installed programs.

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').

To select a installation directory for an unattended installation, use /D=directory, e.g. to install to C:\wxmaxima the command would be:
wxMaxima-21.05.1-win64.exe /S /D=C:\wxmaxima

[2021-02-19] The installer was modified, so that it can be installed without admin permissions. The default installation path will be C:\wxmaxima-21.01.0 - one can create a directory there without admin permissions.

Resolved a small privacy issue

If the help browser was the old Internet Explorer 9 and the wxMaxima manual was opened the manual automatically downloaded a HTML5 compatibility layer over the internet.

Debian judges downloading a file without asking the user first to be a privacy issue => created a new release that resolves this problem.
