Release notes
by Jerry James-3

Rate this Message:
Fedora 11 is coming! I have just been pinged by the team putting together release notes. They want to know what has changed from GCL 2.6.7 to 2.6.8pre. My history with GCL is so short that I don't know how to answer the question. Can anybody give me a few bullet items that I can pass on to that team? They can be in raw form; the release notes team will massage them to make them read well and look good. Thank you,

virtual memory
by Andrey G. Grozin

Rate this Message:
Hello *,
An older version of gcl-2.6.8-pre in Gentoo (it was taken from Debian, don't remember the exact number of the Debian patch) was the fastest in running the maxima tests. Recently, I've compiled gcl-2.6.8-pre from cvs, and now I cannot complete these tests at all: maxima is swapping like mad, and makes very little progress. It seems that it uses much more virtual memory than the main memory of my computer (which is not large, just 1/4 Gb). Is there any gcl build parameter which I can tune to reduce the amount of virtual memory used by gcl? What has changed in this respect in a not too distant past? (this may mean a year ago or something, I don't know more exactly).

Greetings, and thanks for your report!
I'm always interested in this. Were the maxima versions the same? If not, what were the maxima versions? Take care, "Andrey G.
