MuPAD ... MuPAD - News & Infos


15.01.96: * MuPAD is available with the PACIFIC HITECH'S LINUX MONTHLY CD-ROM, Issue Jan'96.
10.01.96: * The URL of MuPAD WebPages in USA (refer to 22.12.95) has changed to "http://web.mit.edu/estradaj/www/MuPAD_HTML".
22.12.95: * Parts (muphtml.tgz) of the MuPAD WebPages are installed at "http://cider.mit.edu/mupad/" (USA). Thanks a lot to John Karl Estrada! Because connections from other countries are often very slow, we are looking for further Webmasters outside of germany who are able to install the light version of the MuPAD WebPages (1.4MB). Please contact us via email to MuPAD-Webmaster@uni-paderborn.de. Thanks.
08.12.95: * We are working on a Windows95 Version of MuPAD and hope to present it in March'96 on the computer fair CeBIT in Hannover, Germany.
01.12.95: * The MuPAD kernel is ported for 64bit machines, using a DECalpha and a SGI. Developer releases are working quit fast and stable. There are still some minor problems.
20.10.95: * The PowerMac version of MacMuPAD is availbale on our ftp home site in /pub/MuPAD/macintosh/mupad/macmupad_ppc.hqx. Please read the README you get it! The PowerMac native code now is 3-7 (numeric->symbolic) times faster.
19.10.95: * Now a terminal version of MuPAD-1.2.2 for IBM/RS6000 with AIX-4.1 and PC/AT with FreeBSD-2.2 is available on our ftp home site in /pub/MuPAD/unix/MuPAD_1.2.2_tty/. The terminal version has no graphics and no online manual. After installing AIX-4.1 we have strange problems with XView and cannot create any correct working XView interface. We hope to solve this problem when changing from XView to Motif in spring 1996.
11.10.95: * Problem with MuPAD for Linux/ELF: Unreadable online manual. Now solved. New version is available on the MuPAD home site at 10am 11.10.95. Refer to the readme whether you have a fixed version.
09.10.95: * MuPAD for Linux/ELF has changed from ALPHA to BETA status. The new version was compiled under the Slackware 3.0.0 Distribution and is available on our ftp site.
04.10.95: * !!!! We decided to close the mailing list MuPAD-talk !!!! Due to our limited manpower, we will most likely continue to concentrate our efforts on the scientific developement rather than on managing mailing lists. Please use the newsgroups 'sci.math.symbolic' and 'de.sci.mathematik' for further discussions of MuPAD topics.
04.09.95: * MuPAD will be present on the "Jahrestagung 1995 der DMV". Refer to http://math-www.uni-paderborn.de/MuPAD/CONFERENCES/ for further information.
29.08.95: * The mailing list MuPAD-talk is temporary closed. In 3-4 weeks we will inform you whether we install a special mailing list processor or we use the Usenet news groups 'sci.math.symbolic' to discuss MuPAD problems. We want to concentrate our efforts on the scientific developement rather than on managing mailing lists.
11.08.95: * Please no further 'subscribe' and 'unsubscribe' mails in any MuPAD mailing list. Please send them only to MuPAD-mailadmin@uni-paderborn.de. Thanks!
02.08.95: * On some ftp sites the MuPAD directory seems not to be up to date. We have no 1.2.2 version for IBM/RS6000 (our system broke down), FreeBSD and NetBSD by now. Note: Binaries of release 1.2.1 do not work with the library of release 1.2.2!
25.07.95: * We had problems with parts of the email entry point at the University of Paderborn. Therefore some announcements were bounced to MuPAD users. We are very sorry. Now this problem should be solved. According to the fact that mails may be buffered on some gateways, bounced mails may arrive until 26.07.95. Sorry again!
25.07.95: * From now on MuPAD is also available on: + ftp.switch.ch:/mirror/MuPAD in Swiss (Thanks to Thomas Lenggenhager!)
24.07.95: * MuPAD release 1.2.2 is available via ftp. Irix-4.x is not supported any more because nearly any SGI user has updated to Irix-5.x. Aix, FreeBSD and NetBSD versions will be available in august. Remember: the new english reference manual is a draft version and  will be revised in the next weeks!
18.07.95: * We start installation of MuPAD 1.2.2. Therefore some old and new information in our READMEs may be mixed. If you are confused, please wait until 24. July 1995 to find the new MuPAD release.
17.07.95: * MuPAD version 1.2.2 is to be released on 24. July 1995. On mirror sites of MuPAD this release may be available a few days later. With this release 1.2.2 X11R5 and therefore Mini-Linux are supported for the last time.

29.11.94: * MuPAD won the "european academic software award" in the category of mathematic software.
21.11.94: * A FreeBSD-Version of MuPAD was announced for end of November. We have some problems with the new X11R6 libraries, so we will go back to FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 and X11R5. We hope this version will be available at the end of december.
