Include amsmath package in xy

Deat Texmacs Developers,

I was unable to use the \mathbb command inside a XYpic-session until I added the amssymb package
to the tm_xypic file (see attached patch).
I am sure it would be useful, if this gets applied upstream.

Best regards,

Eshat (please CC me if you reply)

MathBox - A GNU Linux VirtualBox Virtual Guest Appliance (aka "a virtual machine")

All developers:

I have configured an Oracle VM VirtualBox guest using the GNU/Linux 
distribution Lubuntu. This guest VM will run on MS Windows, OS X, 
supported Linux distributions, Solaris, et al. It is also compatible 
with the VMware player since the it uses VMDK as the disk format.

This VM features TeXmacs along with other core mathematics software. It 
was created as a consequence of the frustrations involved with 
compatibility issues involved with using TeXmacs on these different 
operating systems. The MathBox VM is a complete GNU Linux distribution 
that may be configured after installation as desired for individual 
circumstances. It is based on Ubuntu and Debian so users have access to 
the power of all tools available to these systems as packages.

There is no cost for this VM. It is offered for use as a public service. 
It requires about 20 minutes or less to install not including download 
time which obviously will vary according to individual circumstances. It 
requires users to install Oracle VM VirtualBox host software 
(recommended) or a VMware player (not used by author, but should work). 
The VirtualBox extension pack is also recommended. The MathBox VM is an 
OVA format that is merely imported using the Oracle VM Host manager 
software. An included INSTALL file contains complete installation 
instructions.

For those with an interest in this MathBox VM please reply to this 
message and I will send instructions for downloading the VM.

Best wishes.

Python Plugin Information

All TeXmacs developers:

I have emailed the original author of the TeXmacs Python plugin, Ero 
Carrera. Although he is the author of the plugin, from his email reply 
to me it appears that he is no longer involved with supporting or 
maintaining this plugin.

Be advised that this does not mean that there are any issues with the 
TeXmacs Python plugin. In fact I am in the process of completing an 
article using TeXmacs for the TeXmacs community about using the TeXmacs 
Python plugin with modules "scientific" by which I mean NumPy, SciPy, 
Matplotlib, SciTools, and Oct2Py, a Python module interface to GNU 
Octave that appears to function without any issues using the Python 
plugin. I will announce through this list when this article is ready for 
download and instructions for that purpose. After peer review and any 
feedback, I will offer this article for inclusion with those publicly 
available through the TeXmacs website.

If there are any developers reading this that are accomplished 
Pythonistas, please let me know. I have scoured the tm_python code in 
order to determine how the plugin generates the "Python]" prompt for 
each line of input during the session and it has me baffled. If anyone 
with plugin or  Python expertise would be so kind as to look at the code 
to determine where this prompt is being generated, I will be in your 
debt. I want to alter this prompt to the conventional ">>>" Python 
interactive prompt. So far I have no clue as to how the prompt is 
generated by the code. Maybe it is an attribute of the associated Scheme 
code for the plugin. Ero Carrera can't remember much about his plugin 
since it was written some time ago.

I am also writing a short Help page for the Python plugin with 
attribution for the original author. This help will include two 
undocumented methods of the plugin that are "ps_out" which will insert 
an EPS file into the Python session and command completion that works to 
provide completion help from the input line.

Thanks for any help, advice, or constructive comments.

Major changes in plug-ins, MacOS support for giac, sage and texgraph

Dear all,

I made some intrusive changes in the plug-in support,
which may cause some plug-ins to disfunction.
Please test whether everything still works fine
(or at least not worse than before), for the SVN version.

For MacOS users of giac, sage and texgraph,
I made some changes so that the software is automatically found
if you installed the standard package or dmg for MacOS.

In the case of texgraph, I had to add support for the .sh extension
for the script which launches TeXgraph.  That meant a few changes
to tm_texgraph and init-texgraph.scm :

   	[...]
        if [ "$OSTYPE" = "cygwin" ] ; then EXT='.bat'; else EXT=''; fi
        shext=`command -v CmdTeXgraph.sh`
        if [ "$shext" != "" ] ; then EXT='.sh'; fi
	CmdTeXgraph$EXT $EXPT $TEMP_FILE 2> tmp_log
        [...]

  [...]
  (:require (and (url-exists-in-path? "latex")
        	 (or (url-exists-in-path? "CmdTeXgraph")
                     (url-exists-in-path? "CmdTeXgraph.sh"))))
  [...]

We are working on a similarly improved detection scheme under Windows.

Best wishes, --Joris

TeXmacs 1.0.7.18 (Qt 4.8.4 / MacOSX 10.5/i386)

Hi all, 
 I've packaged an image with the current TeXmacs 1.0.7.18 (r6304) for Mac with Qt. Could somebody test it. It
is supposed to work on 32 bit machines from 10.5 onwards. If it doesn't it is a bug which I would like to know
of.

virtualbox images?

Hi!

Does anyone use virtualbox (or equivalent) images to test that TeXmacs
installs well on various platforms? I'd like to make sure it
runs/compiles well on old platforms
and with old versions of R.

What is the best environment to compile/debug TeXmacs on windows? I'll
try to also use a virtual machine on my mac for that...

Michael

comiting changes

Hi!

Joris recently suggested I just commit changes to the R plugin
directly. But I can't figure out how to do that, and all my googling
abilities
haven't helped me, either.
I found, for example:
http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/cvs.en.html

which talkes about making changes, but from the fact that most of the
links don't work I somehow inferred that this is old documentation....
(is it?)

So, can anyone point me to a documentation page of how to commit
changes other than submitting patches?

Thank you very much!
Michael
