wxMaxima 24.08.0

A bugfix release:

• An advanced plotting tutorial
• Try harder to kill maxima on closing it
• Try harder to clean up maxima's temporary files on closing it
• Resolved a race condition on closing multiple windows
• Resolved a CMake error on configuration with -B switch (#1917)
• More menu icons
• A better dialogue if Maxima isn't found
• Better search for the Maxima binary
• Find Gnuplot on Windows if wxMaxima is packaged alone. This is needed for the 'Popout interactively' function of wxdraw().
• Security: Use a standard function (CreateTempFileName) for creating a temporary file for the 'popout interactively'
  function of wxdraw.
• Security: Add a random number to lisp generated temporary files.
• Fix the 'Gnuplot command window' (on Windows) (issues #771, #1680 and #1732).
• A Spanish translation update by cyphra
• Fix the greek letter replacement for 'beta' with newer Maxima versions (#1921).
• Fix a problem, when 'maxima-local' (a not installed version of Maxima) was chosen as Maxima. WxMaxima did not finish on File->Exit and used much CPU power.
• Size calculations for numbers that were broken into lines failed the first time (#1931)
• On MS Windows one can now choose between Gnuplot and wGnuplot (#1934)
• Fixed the error message about dual manifest files on MSVC

Windows installer

This installer does only contain WxMaxima. You will need a Maxima installation too and will need to configure the path to Maxima in WxMaxima.

Maybe Windows will warn you, that "This program is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer."

The reason may be, that the installer was not often downloaded and it is not signed with an Extended Validation (EV) Code Signing certificate.

[The code signing certificate is not an "EV"-code signing certificate, which means no "instant trust" with "Microsoft SmartScreen", but hopefully better than an unsigned installer. As "Publisher" you will see "FH Joanneum", which is the University of Applied Sciences, where I work (look in the "Details" to see my name). Thanks a lot to the FH Joanneum, that I got the code signing certificate and may use it for the Maxima/WxMaxima installer].

If you want to do an unattended installation (e.g. if you plan to install WxMaxima on many computers in a school, university or company), this installer (and uninstaller) understands the command line switch "/S" (for 'silent install').

A bugfix release:

• Faster discarding of maths that is too long to read

• Security: Use a standard function (CreateTempFileName) for creating
  temporary filenames instead of using the process id as 'random' number.

  are not readable by everyone.
• wxm files no more truncate text (#1908)
