A bugfix release:

  • Faster discarding of maths that is too long to read
  • Resolved a crash on closing the last window (#1898)
  • Now only wxWidgets builds with Unicode support (default) are allowed.
    Builds without Unicode support are strongly discouraged
    by the wxWidgets team.
  • Update German and Italian translations
  • Use po4a instead of po4a-translate for the generation of
    internationalized manuals. po4a-translate is deprecated (#1899)
  • Allow compiliation with the current wxWidgets development version
  • Code reorganization to promote stability
  • Security: Use a standard function (CreateTempFileName) for creating
    temporary filenames instead of using the process id as 'random' number.
  • Security: (autosaved) temporary files now use secure permissions,
    are not readable by everyone.
  • wxm files no more truncate text (#1908)
  • Unicode sidebar: Allow searching for unicode numbers too, not only the
    character name.
  • Unicode sidebar: Correct the search filter, the last char was always
    shown, even if there was no match.
  • Improvements of the manual.
  • Performance: Replaced many copy operations by references to const
  • Correctly hande deletion of the last cell (#1911, #1840)
  • A link from the help menu to maxima's help page
  • Offer more maxima demos in the right-click menu
  • Resolved a threading race condition (#1912)
  • Printing integral, sum and product signs on MS Windows (#1909)
  • Resolved literally hundreds of warnings from static analysis tools
  • Support for the %catalan constant
  • Better MSVC support
  • On MSW wxWidgets >=3.2 now is mandatory for getting high-DPI support
  • A backward-search fix (#1913)

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').
