• Added ability to retrieve submatrix of specified rows and columns using ranges within el(..) function;
  
  
• Plug-ins management improved to support single Extensions folder by multiple versions of SMath Studio (extensions installed for newer SMath Studio versions will not break previous installations anymore);
  
• Protected Area Regions fully supported in SMath Viewer applications now;
  
• [SV-2396]: Possible exceptions on language change in SMath Viewer fixed;
  
• [SS-15], [SS-2384]: Handling of zero, infinity and strings by symbolic library improved;
  
• Plug-ins compatibility dialog now always shown on top of other windows because it is not displayed in taskbar and can be lost from users view;
  
• Missing required parenthesis when using Calculations menu items fixed.

• Desktop Windows (desktop computer with Windows OS):
  SMathStudioDesktop.0_98_6096.Setup.msi (Date: 09.09.2016. File size: 2.07MB)
  
• Desktop Linux (desktop computer with Linux OS):
  SMathStudioDesktop.0_98_6096.Mono.tar.gz (Date: 09.09.2016. File size: 1.21MB) - last version of Mono distributive required!
  
• Cloud version (all modern browsers supported):
  SMath Studio in the Cloud (Date: 09.09.2016.)

• First of all, Hyperlink Region ver. 1.0.5958.15351 not supported by latest version of SMath Studio. You have to use beta version (please see http://en.smath.info/view/HyperlinkRegion for the link).
  
• Second, plugins directory designed to support only plug-ins which are 100% compatible with current version of SMath Studio (usually you can find only built-in plig-ins). All others are better to put under extensions\plugins\\\, even if we are talking about portable version. But be aware, in addition to such a complex path config..ini must be available under extensions\plugins\\ and it should contain a text with version (i.e. folder) of the plug-in to use.

Hello Martin,

I thank you for this testing the possible continuing on the portable version (I reproduced your instructions), but I have to admit that having a portable version with the plugins (which I would prefer) is quite a mess at the moment.

Radovan

Thanks for the feedback. What do you mean is a mess?

The process of getting a portable version (installation) or the result/user experience?

Once the image region is fixed and the interactive handbook updated, I can make a new portable version for download. Then getting the distribution would be easy.

If the result is a mess - what could be improved?

I am very grateful to you for having in mind and keeping the idea of making a portable, downloadable version - the most easy way of using SMATH (IMHO) . I just have a feeling as a user - not developer (might be wrong, of course) that there were so many changes regarding plugins inside SMath that the plugin makers had quite a lot of troubles to cope with them. To repeat, I just have an impression of that and just want that SMath get into some "calm waters" after such a long time, nothing else.

Regarding the improvements, we had quite a many comments about it. For example, many times mentioned, but there is still quite a critical problem to have an efficient tracking of the SMath functions - "which one is which, and what they do?", regarding the plugins. I do not have the answer how to solve this.

Radovan
