We are approaching now of the time to have a new release. I am satisfied with a 3/4 weeks period between releases as the testing by users that usually just take a released version is not too far from the trunk head.

Asking a user to test if a problem remains one or two weeks later on the new release is reasonable and we are getting good feedback. :-)

What would you like to see in before rc3 is out?


There are some oddities in the new math macro implementation that will need some attention before any real release. I find cursor movement very difficult. For example, if you have a macro \val with two arguments and type: \val\alpha, the \alpha ought (intuitively) to go into the first argument place, but in fact it ends up after \val, which gets nothing in its argument places. Similarly, suppose I'm in the first argument place and type \alpha, then a space. I'd expect this to take me to the second argument, but in fact it exits the macro.

I think I never typed like that. If you press space after the end of the macro, you are in the first cell. I do that without thinking about that every time. Btw., \frac\alpha has the same behaviour. It has nothing to do with macros...

(Tab takes me to the second argument, in fact.) I guess I could get used to that, but I think space used to work as I've described.

What does space do in e.g. \frac? Jump to the next argument?

If somebody has a 1.5 around, please check if the behaviour was the same there (with \frac). Otherwise it is a regression.
