# 26.10.0

This release is about making wxMaxima nicer to use, and again was developed
with substantial help from the AI assistant **Claude**. Text cells get bold,
italic, superscripts and more, which survive copy and paste; long numbers
are shown in digit groups; an error is marked in the code cell where it
happened; long messages wrap to fit the window; the toolbar can be
rearranged; and the configuration dialog previews its settings. Plus a
security fix for the connection to Maxima, and many smaller fixes.

## Text cells

- Text cells, titles and section headings can contain bold, italic,
  underlined, struck-through, superscript and subscript text, set using new
  toolbar buttons (#492). A line gets taller if something in it needs the
  room, an emoji for example. The formatting is saved in .wxmx files in a
  way older versions of wxMaxima can still read.
- The formatting survives copy and paste: within wxMaxima, into word
  processors, mail programs and web editors (as RTF and HTML), and from
  them into a text cell (#2475). RTF export keeps it, too.
- Web addresses in code cells' comments are links now, as they already
  were in text cells.
- Selecting text in a text cell that wraps over several lines no longer
  makes the selection's ends jump between lines (#2477).
- ESC, a hexadecimal number and ESC enter that Unicode character again, as
  the manual says (#2561): the list of symbols closed as soon as the number
  matched no symbol's name. The list now shows the character the number
  stands for and its Unicode name next to the names, and each name next to
  its symbol. A leading `0` or `u+` marks a number that also begins a name.
  
## Code cells and evaluation

- When Maxima reports an error, the statement that failed gets a light red
  background, and for a syntax error the place Maxima stopped at a stronger
  one, with the cursor there (#289). The statement being evaluated right
  now gets a faint yellow background. All three colours can be changed in
  the "Style" tab.
- Long numbers in output and in code cells are shown in groups of digits,
  2111230496 as 2 111 230 496 (#192). Only the display changes: copying,
  saving, exporting and what is sent to Maxima contain no gaps. This can be
  changed in the "Worksheet" tab.
- Long warnings, error messages, status messages and printf() output wrap
  to fit the window, without tearing numbers or web addresses apart.
- A hidden multiplication sign is drawn where output is broken into lines,
  and the line is broken after it wherever possible (#2263). A power in
  linear form no longer reads "x^ 12".
- A click on the right half of a line's last character puts the cursor at
  the end of the line.
- Pasting into a cell scrolls it into view. On Linux a middle-click pastes
  the last selected text, not the Ctrl+C clipboard (#794).
- The part of the worksheet you are reading no longer jumps while cells
  above it are evaluated again or output arrives above the cursor, and
  output that changes out of sight no longer makes the window flicker.
- The worksheet no longer scrolls a whole screen past its last cell.

## Copy and paste

- Cells copied and pasted inside wxMaxima keep their text formatting,
  plots and images, but leave Maxima's answers behind: what Maxima answered
  where they were evaluated isn't necessarily what it answers where they
  are pasted (#2474). Pasting into other programs still includes the
  results.
- Copying is fast even for large selections: every clipboard format is
  still offered, but each is only drawn when a program pastes it (#2030).
  The list of formats to copy and the bitmap size limit are gone from the
  configuration dialog. What was copied stays on the clipboard when the
  window is closed.
- Copying part of an output also offers it as SVG and, on Windows, as an
  enhanced metafile (#2472).
- The right-click menu is shorter: the "Copy as ..." formats moved into a
  "Copy in Another Format" submenu.

## Plots and images

- Plots are made as SVG where wxWidgets renders SVG with text (LunaSVG,
  which the Windows builds now have): they stay sharp at any zoom factor
  and in print. SVG images in .wxm files and copied SVG images are shown
  instead of "Cannot render the image" (#2087).
- New variable `wxplot_scale` shows the wx* plots and animations larger or
  smaller than they would otherwise be, text included, e.g.
  `wxdraw2d(...),wxplot_scale=2$`. `wxplot_scale:'native` shows a plot at
  the size `wxplot_size` asks for instead of shrinking it to fit the window.
- On a dark worksheet images are drawn on a white backdrop by default, so
  black line art stays visible. GIF and XPM images keep their transparency
  (#2227).
- `wximplicit_plot()` loads the package it needs, and wxMaxima explains how
  to fix a Maxima temp directory whose name contains a quote, where draw
  cannot plot (#1106).
- Scrolling over an animation with a touchpad no longer flicks through a
  frame per tiny movement.

## Matrices

- `wx_matrix(M, banding=true|false|auto)` chooses whether rows and columns
  are shaded, and autocompletion offers `wx_matrix()` with a template.
- A matrix with scrollbars of its own scrolls with the mouse wheel while it
  is selected (#2479), scrolls in the exported HTML, too, and no longer
  loses a fraction at the start of a partly scrolled-away entry.
- Shift+Up/Down with a cell's output selected selects whole cells starting
  there, not from the top of the worksheet.

## Help

- One setting decides whether help is shown in the sidebar or a browser,
  and F1, "Help on ...", the manuals and Maxima's ?, ?? and describe() all
  follow it. Next to it, an option prints ?, ?? and describe() into the
  worksheet instead.
- wxMaxima's own commands (`wx_matrix()`, `table_form()`, `wxplot2d()`, the
  `wx...` variables, ...) get a "Help on" entry, and F1 opens wxMaxima's
  manual at their description.
- The wizards' sidebar no longer hides its OK button: it starts in a window
  of its own and is only as high as it needs. The Solve ODE wizard offers
  help on ode2.
- `wxdeclare_subscripted()` works (#1653), "Always" autosubscripting really
  subscripts everything after an underscore, and the manual documents both
  subscript commands.

## Configuration and interface

- The configuration dialog's "Worksheet" tab shows a sample worksheet that
  follows its settings. In the "Style" tab a movable divider separates the
  settings from the sample, which moves beside them on wide screens.
- The toolbar's sections can be rearranged and hidden in a new "Toolbar"
  tab or by right-clicking the toolbar. "Evaluate all" has its own icon
  again, and "Select all" selects all cells.
- The tray icon only appears while something needs your attention and the
  window isn't active: a calculation finished, a question, an error, the
  debugger, or a failed autosave. Its menu works with AppIndicator trays.
- Closing an untitled document with unsaved changes asks first and opens
  "Save As" only if you choose "Save" (#1737). "Save As" of a .wxm file
  proposes a .wxm name on Linux (#2440).
- The tooltip tint is readable in dark mode, and the diff viewer can copy
  and has "Find previous"/"Find next" buttons.

## Security

- Another user on the same computer who connected to wxMaxima before
  Maxima did could pose as Maxima. wxMaxima now sends nothing secret over
  that connection and acts on nothing until Maxima has authenticated.

## Windows

- The Windows builds use wxWidgets 3.3.4, so they include the AI chat
  sidebar and the integrated help browser, and switching the appearance
  re-themes the whole window right away.
- The installer no longer needs administrator rights: without them it
  installs for the current user only.

## Other fixes

- wxWidgets' Qt ports: no more startup abort with 3.2 (#2483), no crashes
  when closing dialogs with 3.3, the style editor edits the clicked style
  (#2527), and the Greek and Symbols sidebars lay out and highlight
  correctly.
- wxMaxima no longer crashes on closing with wxWidgets' GTK4 port, and exits
  with a message instead of crashing when there is no display.
- On FreeBSD wxMaxima no longer hangs when it stops or restarts Maxima.
- A long number no longer collapses when line breaks in long numbers are
  switched on, and a wide output keeps its horizontal scrollbar (#2480).
- A floating find/replace sidebar no longer grows higher than its contents.
- The LaTeX export no longer depends on the window width (#408).
- The Hungarian manual PDF composes again with pandoc 3.2 or newer (#2271).

## Building

- The source tarball leaves out all dot files (#2272).
- On Windows, WebView2Loader.dll is installed next to wxmaxima.exe when it
  can be found (#2481), and the About dialog says why the help browser is
  or isn't offered.
- wxMaxima builds on Cygwin again.

# 26.09.0

Large matrices and keyboard access to output are the main topics of this
release, which again was developed with substantial help from the AI
assistant **Claude**. A matrix too large for the window no longer widens
the worksheet, output can be explored part by part with the keyboard, links
in text and output can be opened, and an optional MCP server lets AI tools
read the worksheet. Plus many fixes, among them a security fix
for .wxm files.

## Matrices

- A matrix too large for the window by default is displayed with an
  ellipsis( ⋯, ⋮ and/or ⋱)
- `wx_matrix(M, oversized=full|elide|scroll)` chooses this for one matrix.
  `wx_matrix()` now only returns the formatted matrix instead of also
  displaying it.
- Double-clicking such a matrix opens a resizable window showing all of it,
  also for a matrix printed by `disp()` in a reopened worksheet. Ctrl+F
  there searches the matrix entry by entry.
- Hovering over a matrix shows which entry the mouse is over ("Row 2,
  column 3"), and large matrices have faintly banded rows and columns.
- Dragging across a matrix selects a block of entries, which Shift+arrow
  keys can grow or shrink (#2345, #2370, #2380). Every "Copy ..." command,
  including "Copy as HTML", copies only that block (#2369), and a matrix or
  block can be copied as CSV for a spreadsheet (#2364).
- The highlight of selected text in a cell now ends exactly where the text
  cursor would be. With fonts that kern or join letters it used to be off by
  a few pixels (#2278).

## Keyboard and accessibility

- A cell's output can be reached with the keyboard: Down at the end of the
  input selects the first result, Enter goes into a selected expression
  (numerator, matrix entry, ...), Escape comes back out, and the arrow keys
  move between parts. The Menu key or Shift+F10 opens the context menu, and
  on Windows screen readers announce each selected part (#2382). The manual
  has a new section, "Exploring output with the keyboard". The old
  behaviour of Down can be switched back in the configuration dialog.
- Output arriving from Maxima no longer pushes the cursor down the screen.

## Editing, links and plots

- Web addresses in text cells and in Maxima's output are links: Ctrl+click
  (Cmd+click on macOS) or the context menu's "Open Link" opens them
  (#2396). The HTML and LaTeX exports keep them as links.
- Code cells treat a bracket or quote escaped by a backslash as part of a
  name or string (#528).
- The unicode symbols wxMaxima offers for Maxima names (π, ⅈ, ⅇ, ∞, ∑, ∏,
  ∫, √, and the logical operators ⋀ ⋁ ⊻ ⊼ ⊽ ⇒ ⇔ ¬) are now Maxima aliases,
  so they also work in files loaded by `batch()` or `load()` and in
  `eval_string()`. `√2` and `√x` mean `sqrt(2)` and `sqrt(x)`.
- New functions `with_slider_draw_bare` (animations made with plain
  `draw()`, so a frame can hold several scenes; `file_name` saves a gif,
  #2361) and `wx_version_min("26.09.0")`, which lets a worksheet check the
  wxMaxima version it runs in.
- `with_slider_draw(..., file_name="name")` no longer deletes the gif right
  after showing it (#2389).
- A system tray icon shows whether Maxima is busy and offers Interrupt and
  Exit (#2286).

## Export and files

- The HTML export can optionally write a single self-contained file with
  all images embedded (#2266), and "Copy as HTML" puts such a document on
  the clipboard (#2265, #2267).
- Security fix: a crafted .wxm file could run Maxima code when opened or
  loaded, as text containing `*/` ended its comment early (#1907).
- A .mac file saved by wxMaxima keeps its comments unchanged (#2353).
- "Copy as RTF" now pastes into MS Word (#2264); hidden multiplication
  signs get proper spacing in MathML/OMML export (#2263).
- The manual's PDF no longer needs CJK fonts for non-CJK languages (#2271).

## AI chat and MCP server (optional)

- An "AI Chat" sidebar chats about the current worksheet with Anthropic,
  OpenAI, Google Gemini, Qwen, GitHub Models, DeepSeek, OpenRouter or a
  custom provider, including local servers like Ollama, LM Studio or
  llama.cpp. It uses your own API key, stored in the operating system's
  secret store, and can read the worksheet but never change or evaluate
  it. A status bar icon and a connection monitor show what it is doing.
  The sidebar needs wxWidgets 3.3.4 or newer, the first version it works
  reliably with; a build against an older wxWidgets leaves it out. That
  includes this release's Windows installer and Linux .deb, which are built
  with wxWidgets 3.3.2 and 3.2.
- An optional MCP server lets an external AI tool read the worksheet, the
  Variables sidebar and the evaluation status, and show or hide sidebars.
  It listens only on this machine and cannot change the worksheet.

## Talking to Maxima

- Interrupting Maxima (Ctrl+G) goes through a second connection when the
  Lisp has threads (SBCL, CCL, ECL), which also makes it work reliably on
  Windows (#2289).
- Batch runs no longer occasionally lose or skip a statement (#2196), and
  exit with a status code saying why they stopped (#2276, listed in the
  manual and the man page).
- Opening a file starts Maxima only once, about two seconds faster.
- The "Maxima isn't connecting" warning no longer fires for large
  worksheets (#1182).

## Windows

- Releases also offer a portable .zip that runs without installation
  (#2298).
- New `wxmaxima-cli.exe` for command-line use: it waits for wxMaxima and
  shows `--version`, `--help` and `--batch` output in the console.
- Dark mode now also themes menus, toolbars and dialogs (#2274).
- `--logtostderr ... 2>&1` no longer loses the log.

## Other fixes

- Sets (`{1,2,3}`) and `product()` no longer render as blank output
  (#2270), and `product()` no longer turns into "sum(" when broken into
  lines.
- A fraction inside a subscript, matrix or `diff()` no longer vanishes in a
  narrow window.
- The "ASCII maths" style now uses a real monospace font, so Maxima's
  ASCII art lines up.
- The window layout stored by older versions is no longer discarded.
- Toolbar buttons (Redo, "return to the evaluating cell", ...) update their
  state immediately and correctly.
- Closing the diff viewer no longer resets settings changed meanwhile
  (#2356).
- The toolbar's height is recomputed at every start instead of being
  restored from the previous session, so it can no longer shrink by a pixel
  per session on MS Windows.

## Building

- wxWidgets 3.2 and a C++20 compiler (GCC 12 or newer) are now required
  (#2301). There is no longer a .deb for Ubuntu 22.04.
- Compiling is about a third faster: precompiled headers are on by default
  and actually work now.

# 26.08.0

Another large batch of improvements, many of them developed with substantial
help from the AI assistant **Claude**: sidebars can now be minimized, "Find
and Replace" can be docked like the other sidebars, right-to-left interface
languages and mixed-direction text are now properly supported, translation
losses across dozens of languages were found and restored, and a long list of
export, layout and stability fixes.

- Sidebars can now be minimized, not only closed (GH #2229).
- Right-to-left interface languages support. Full support requires libfribidi
- Restored translations that had quietly gone missing: (GH #2047).
- Equations exported as PNG (GH #2231) or SVG (GH #2230) now are accessible
  in 3.3.1/3.3.3, respectively.
- Many export improvements.
- Fixed scaled images losing their transparency (GH #2227).
- Evaluating a folded section no longer unfolds (GH #1952).
- "Pop out interactively" on a plot now tells you when gnuplot had trouble
  with it (GH #1973).
- macOS: fixed translation files not reaching the app bundle (GH #1711).
- `sum()`/`product()`/`lsum` no longer wrap a plain summand in spurious
  parentheses, matching Maxima's own terminal output (GH #1536); `box()` no
  longer gets spurious parentheses around it either (GH #1948).
- Folding/unfolding a section (or "Fold All"/"Unfold All") is now part of
  the undo history (GH #266).
- Fixed wxMaxima losing sync with Maxima's working directory for names
  containing wildcard-like characters or, on Windows, characters outside the
  system codepage; a persistently broken path no longer spams the warning
  on every command (GH #1672).
- Code cell syntax highlighting improvements (GH #898).
- Table of contents: dragging a chapter/section to reorder it now actually
  works (GH #1524).
- Fixed two 32-bit-only bugs(GH #2208); CI now actually runs the tests there too.
- Tagged releases now also attach a `.tar.xz` source archive with a
  checksum, built reproducibly from the tagged commit (GH #1192).
- Snap: gnuplot's license notice now travels with builds that bundle it.
- `--batch`/`--exit-on-error` now actually halts on an unanswerable
  interactive question instead of hanging forever (GH #2178).
- Real tab handling.
- Better ASCII Arts support (#1608).
- New Maxima variable `wxdirs` exposes wxMaxima's own configuration/data/
  help/locale paths to `.mac` scripts.
- Windows: the installer/ZIP now bundles the MinGW runtime DLLs it needs to
  start.
- Added "Anonymize Code for Bug Report" to the Help menu (#1339): replaces
  every non-builtin name in the selected code (or, after confirmation, the
  whole document) with a random name, consistently, so a worksheet can be
  shared in a bug report without revealing the original names.
- Reduced the memory footprint of every cell on the worksheet by computing
  line-wrap draw order on demand instead of storing it per cell (#1445).

# 26.07.1

This release contains an unusually large batch of improvements -- many of them
developed with substantial help from the AI assistants **Claude** and
**Fable**: dark mode for the whole Windows user interface, native
Windows-on-Arm builds, numerous speedups, and a large number of bug and
stability fixes.

- On Windows, switching to dark mode now also darkens the native user
  interface (menus, toolbars, sidebars, dialogs), not just the worksheet.
  wxWidgets can only enable this during application startup, so the saved
  appearance is now applied before the main window is created. (Toggling the
  appearance while wxMaxima is running may still need a restart to fully
  re-theme the native controls -- a Windows limitation.)
- Native Windows-on-Arm (ARM64) builds: each release now includes a
  self-contained portable ZIP for ARM64 Windows, built natively with the
  clang-aarch64 toolchain. Unzip it and run wxmaxima.exe -- no installer and
  no separate runtime needed.
- The worksheet diff viewer now shows changes inside a folded (collapsed)
  section instead of silently ignoring them: the cell alignment used to walk
  only the visible top-level cells, so two worksheets that differed solely
  inside a fold looked identical in the diff. Folded content is now expanded
  in the diff view and highlighted like any other change.
- Typing "(" at the horizontal cursor opens a new code cell containing "()"
  with the caret between the parens again, like "[", "{" and "\"" do. A
  refactor had left the caret in front of the opening paren instead.
- On builds with accessibility support (e.g. Windows) the configuration
  dialog gained an "Accessibility" tab: Maxima's output can now be announced
  to screen readers either as maths in linear text form (the default) or as
  MathML (wrapped in a complete namespaced <math> document), for screen
  readers that can speak MathML.
- Speedup: "Replace All" no longer schedules a re-layout of the whole
  worksheet - only the cells that actually contained the search text are
  re-laid-out.
- Speedup: scrolling to a cell whose position isn't known yet (and the
  caret-visibility check) now schedules a re-layout targeted at that cell
  instead of one spanning the whole worksheet.
- The statistics sidebar now grows its scrollable height to its wrapped
  button rows, like the other sidebars: when the sidebar was narrow, the
  buttons below the fold could neither be shown nor scrolled to.
- The POT file for translators now also includes the translatable strings
  from the source subdirectories (cells, sidebars, wizards, ...): the
  extraction glob was flat and silently dropped them.
- Evaluating a cell whose input is commented out entirely now removes the
  cell's stale output. Previously such a cell was skipped silently while a
  multi-cell evaluation advanced past it, keeping output that no longer
  matches the input.
- LDB mode: after answering an ldb> prompt (or clicking elsewhere), the next
  prompt's input line could no longer be reached - clicking into it did
  nothing and keystrokes opened a new worksheet cell instead. The LDB prompt
  now engages the full question machinery, so clicking into the cell that
  holds the prompt reopens its input line, and pressing Enter falls back to
  the prompt's answer even if the cursor wandered off it. The pending prompt
  is also cleaned up when the Lisp process ends.
- File name arguments (openr(), read_matrix(), load(), demo(), ...) now
  autocomplete bash-style: the popup lists the directory the partial name
  points into, typing narrows the list and Backspace widens it again, and
  choosing a directory descends into it and keeps completing there. Several
  edge cases (the editor's auto-added closing quote, a spurious leading "/" at
  the top level, and completion in a still-unsaved worksheet) were fixed too.
- Fixed a layout bug where the width of parenthesized content was
  underestimated: in partially-broken nested parenthesis/fraction/subscript
  constructs, cells inside a fraction could be drawn at the full font size
  while the surrounding parenthesis used the reduced-size extents. Composite
  cells now always re-lay-out their children at the right font size, and each
  cell remembers (and drawing verifies) the font size it was laid out with.
- Fixed a hang when a worksheet contained an image that could not be rendered
  (a broken or empty `<img>`): querying the size of the not-yet-rendered
  bitmap tripped a wxWidgets assertion. Found by the layout/paint fuzzer.
- Fixed an assertion/crash when cutting or copying cells while the bitmap or
  SVG clipboard flavor was enabled: the off-screen renderer that draws the
  copied cells no longer trips the configuration teardown check.
- Repaired the lisp mode.
- Repaired the maxima debugger mode
- Repaired the SBCL debugger (LDB) mode
- Status bar pictograms for lisp and debugger modes
- Many Speedups
- A complete stability review using a Fable-Class AI
- Speedup: merely moving the mouse across the worksheet no longer repaints the
  whole visible worksheet at up to full frame rate. On GTK the worksheet now
  uses classic scrollbars by default (the overlay ones forced full-window
  repaints; a configuration option brings them back), the paint routine
  redraws each damaged rectangle separately, and needless idle re-layouts of
  the sidebars, status bar and performance monitor were removed. New
  "Worksheet repaints" / "Full-window repaints" counters in the performance
  monitor make such regressions easy to spot.
- Refactored the code into smaller, individually testable classes
- Added automatic tests for most recurring bugs
- More counters in the performance monitor
- Corrupt or hostile .wxmx files now fail cleanly instead of hanging: a damaged
  archive no longer wedges a batch run in an endless "Save As" loop, absurd
  watch-variable or active-cell counts no longer drive near-endless loops, and
  an over-large content.xml is read only up to a sane limit (a
  decompression-bomb guard). Guarded by a new corrupt_wxmx_smoke test. The
  .wxmx document-version check is now parsed locale-independently.
- Fixed: when Maxima asks a question the input cell for the answer appeared
  above the question instead of below it.
- Restarting Maxima no longer spawns a new gnuplot process to probe which
  graphics terminals gnuplot supports: if the restarted Maxima reports the
  same gnuplot as before, the answer from the first probe is reused.

- Stability: a failing save no longer risks stacking one "Saving failed!"
  dialog per autosave interval (the autosave timer restarted before the modal
  dialog was dismissed); the message is now shown once, after the handler that
  detected it has finished.
- Reading gnuplot's terminal-list reply and cached
  gnuplot source/data files can no longer loop forever on a stream that
  reports a read error instead of an end-of-file.
- Better prevention of leaked maxima processes
- Automatic line wrapping is now enabled for code cells
- Fixed: typing near the right edge of a wrapping text cell scrolled the
  worksheet sideways for no reason: the caret entered the horizontal
  scroll-into-view zone just before every automatic line wrap.
- Better authentication of maxima
- Animation frame rates are now floating-point.
- Windows: on shutdown wxMaxima suppresses the OS hard-error message boxes ("this
  application could not be started"
- several configuration-dialog settings were silently not saved when pressing OK
- The diff viewer now highlights, inside each changed cell, the exact words
  the matching cell of the other file doesn't contain (word-level inline
  diff
- Changing a cell's type (Cell -> Convert to code/text/section/...) can now be
  undone.
- The Microsoft Edge WebView2 loader license is now included in the third-party
  notices only on Windows builds that actually use it, i.e. built with webview
  support - not on Linux/Mac, nor on a Windows build with webview disabled.
- Bugfix: the "how long did layout take" log message printed a meaningless
  near-zero duration, and the time-sliced layout of the off-screen part of a huge
  worksheet was not actually time-limited.
- Code deduplication.
- Corrected the line wrapping position
- The diff viewer's panes can be scrolled as soon as they open, instead of only
  after the window is resized.
- The "return to the cell that is being evaluated" toolbar button now lights up
  when the evaluated cell is scrolled out of view, even when the text cursor is
  not inside it (previously it only reacted to the cell that held the cursor).
- Windows: a batch-mode run (wxmaxima --batch, typically started from a
  script) could appear to hang for seconds to minutes before its window
  opened
- Fixed a mangled maxima user directory when maxima is compiled with GCL
  (as Debian's and Ubuntu's maxima packages are) match.
- Fixed find-next getting stuck when a match was found in an input prompt
- Fixed broken equation-image links in HTML exports using the "bitmap" equation
  format
- Added an export safety-net regression test (test_WorksheetExport) covering
  HTML (all equation formats), LaTeX, .mac and .wxm export.
- Fixed math cells with subscripts, parenthesis or lists keeping stale spacing
- Added a layout-idempotency regression test: after zoom and canvas-size changes the converged layout must be identical to laying the same content out from scratch.
- Configuration changes that alter how text is displayed (e.g. drawing a multiplication dot instead of an asterisk) take effect on the next redraw again instead of requiring the cells to be rebuilt.
- The build now autodetects whether the wxWidgets webview and qa components are actually usable instead of failing to configure on installations whose wx-config advertises components that were never built. WXM_DISABLE_WEBVIEW/WXM_DISABLE_QA are still honored to force-disable them.
- Fixed a crash in builds without webview support: requesting help on a topic (e.g. Maxima's ?? command) with exactly one matching topic name accessed the topic list out of bounds - and showed the wrong topic when there were several.
- The help pane is now opened once per help request instead of once per matching topic name.
- Accessibility: screen readers now actually see the worksheet's contents.
- Accessibility: the symbol/Greek-letter/math sidebar buttons are now announced as named push buttons (by their description, e.g. "Greek small letter alpha") instead of anonymous panels.
- The Unicode characters sidebar can now be used from the keyboard
- Fixed copying/cutting a freshly drag-and-dropped image turning it into an "Image data had zero length" error: the copy no longer reads the image before its background load has finished.
- Fixed copying/cutting a range of cells losing every cell that follows an image, a page break, or a code cell with the "send known answers" flag: those cells' clipboard data was missing a separator, so the following cells were swallowed on paste.
- Windows: wxMaxima now repairs its own .wxmx/.wxm/.mac file association on startup, so updating to a new install location no longer makes Windows "forget" which program opens .wxmx files.
- Windows: a new Help menu item registers wxMaxima as the tool TortoiseSVN and TortoiseGit use to compare .wxmx files.
- Added a regression test guarding the worksheet's line-wrapping (line-breaking) layout pass.
- Snap package: opening a link in the system web browser (the manual, "visit website", Maxima's online documentation) now works. The confined snap reaches the host's default browser through the XDG Desktop Portal instead of trying to launch a browser that is not visible inside the sandbox -- no browser is bundled and confinement stays strict.
- Find: a match found inside a cell's output now scrolls to the matching part of the output, even in a long output cell. Previously the view only scrolled to the top of the output because the matched item -- if it had not been drawn yet -- had no on-screen position, so the scroll fell back to the start of the output.

# 26.07.0

# 26.01.0

- Keep the wxm/mac difference when saving wxm/exporting mac.
  This omits unneeded comments (/* [wxMaxima: input   start ] */
  (and input end) in a mac file (structural comments (section, ...)
  are still saved) and especially omits question/answer comments -
  they are unreadable by Maxima (see #2014, not only wxm files but
  also mac files were problematic). At least the issue with mac
  files is solved.
- Replace unicode fractions in math input.
- Use wxArtProvider images for the copy/print icons in the config dialogue.
  They were very small on Linux (Ubuntu).

  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)

# 25.01.0

- Remove the change label width popup menu (#1964).
  It was not working at all and caused crashes. And I think the
  label width is not changed so often, so that a (working)
  possibility in the configuration menu is enough.
- If an empty worksheet is saved as wxmx, allow it to be read again (#1978).
  The generated content.xml was empty, which was no valid XML.
- Fix compiling with clang++.
- CopyAsMathML: encode "<" and ">" as HTML entities (valid XML).
