Re: Version 5.50?

Hi Viktor,

The pause from my side is mainly due to me being on vacation :)

There's one issue with the directory cache that was discovered by Claude,
which I'd really like to fix before the release. I can probably do it
tonight, it's a small change.

By the way, what are the (share) test errors you get on SBCL? I get none
with SBCL 2.6.7.

After the release, there'll eventually be some more things I'm working on,
including:
- sign() deciding polynomials without factoring (today, sign(x^2+2*x+1) =
'pos, because it factors to (x+1)^2, but add 1 to it and you get 'pnz)
- the Risch integrator no longer turning sqrt(x^2) into x, thereby
eliminating countless "integral has wrong sign" bugs
- correct integration of sin(x^3), which is currently wrong due to
incorrect antiderivative of %e^(%i*x^3)
- fixing the generally incorrect log(x^n) = n*log(x) rule

Best regards and thanks!
David
