[Reduce-algebra-developers] New release of Run-REDUCE: A JavaFX GUI for running REDUCE

[Francis W. <f.j...@li...>]

The latest release is version 3.1. For further information please visit https://fjwright.github.io/Run-REDUCE/. There is a guide that explains how to install and run Run-REDUCE, which lists some known issues at the end. This release includes installers for Microsoft Windows, Ubuntu and Fedora, plus a JAR file for any platform that supports JavaFX.



The main reason for this release now is that it attempts to fix a problem on version 22 (and probably also 21) of Ubuntu Linux, which fails to display the Run-REDUCE User Guide using the default web browser. To fix this (at least temporarily) I now write the HTML file to ~/Run-REDUCE_User_Guide.html instead of /tmp/UserGuide.html.


A couple of other significant updates are a facility to handle REDUCE user queries graphically via pop-up dialogues and an option to select whether menu-generated REDUCE commands appear when scrolling through previous input. (These have been in the source on GitHub for quite a long time.)



All release notes (and releases) are available at https://github.com/fjwright/Run-REDUCE/releases. As usual, feedback is welcome.
