Although everything else is very nice, I think the single must significant achievement is wh-sandbox is the new algebra bootstrap method and the removal of the Lisp from the algebra files. In my opinion this is of great importance to the future of Axiom. When time permits, I would like to revisit the issue of cyclic dependencies in the algebra files and look for evidence that this new procedure solves the "fixed point" problem that was never properly addressed in the old method: http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/17AlgebraBOOTSTRAPFixedPoint > ... > Both graph and asq should be independent of other changes. > > Well, enough for today: I will summarize other changes later. > What about the changes to HyperDoc?
