As you know I am working on new HyperDoc code. You can try it now. At https://wiki.fricas.org/public/HDTOP.spad
is Spad code implementing Browse functionality. At https://wiki.fricas.org/public/br_sup.boot there is Boot code forwarding requests from C side to Spad. To try, build current trunk, fetch the file above, start FriCAS and do: )compile HDTOP.spad )read br_sup.boot I have tried to reproduce old behaviour, so it is possible that at first you will see no difference. The 'Selectable' search is visibly different, it allows now logical operators in patterns and number of arguments field beside numbers allows things like '<2' or '>1' (the '<2' meaning less than 2 arguments, the second meaning more than 1 argument). I removed search for default packages, it is not clear to me if it is of any use. Some bugs and misfeatures are fixed, for example '_*' will search for multiplication, 'search_operat*' will find appropriate operations. 'OrderedVariableList([x, y, z])' and klicking on constructor search will correctly propagate the variable list to field on constructor page. Some old bugs are still present, for example 'SAE(INT, SUP(INT), x^2+17)' and klicking on constructors signals error. There are certainly some new bugs, so some work is needed before new code can replace old one in the trunk. On technical level, 'br_sup.boot' replaces Boot functions used in HyperDoc protocal and redirects them to Spad, so all protocol exchange goes trough Spad. Basic functionality is provided by previously unused HyperdocPage and HyperdocConnection. Note: the above replaces Browse functionality, in principle parts like 'Settings' and 'Basic commands' may be broken. I have diff for them too, but it is intertwined with unrelated changes. Also, 'Settings' and 'Basic commands' are still done by Boot code, changes just remove unsed parts and adapt them to rest of code. Note2: The HDTOP constructor alone is incative and can not do any charm. I will probably do some more cleanups and fixes but I intend to include it soon. The 'br_sup.boot' part is switching to new code, I do not want to delay much including it, but it has potential for breakage, so that will be slower. Also several other changes should go in with 'br_sup.boot'. -- Waldek Hebisch -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
