everytime I run mint I get hundreds of messages coming from child modules, saying

           These names were used as global names but were not declared:  A

Where A above is the name of the top level module.

This only shows from commnd line mint, and not from maplemint used in the GUI.

The set I have is 

A:=module()
    export module foo_type()
       option object;
       ....
    end module;

     export B := module()  #child module
       .....
     end module;
end module;

  In the child module B above, whever I do 

                 o:=Object(A:-foo_type);

mint gives the above warning.

It is clear the name A should not be declared, as the module B is child to it so it can see it.

The workaround is to add  global A inside each child module to remove this warning. 

But why is this needed?

Here is a worksheet showing maplemint does not show this warning, and below example using command line mint on same exact code, which does

Here is A.mpl 

A:=module()

    export module foo_type()
       option object;
       export name::string:="";
    end module;

    export B := module()    
       #global A;     why is this needed for mint??
       export step := proc()::A:-foo_type;                 
       local o::A:-foo_type;   
          o:=Object(A:-foo_type);
          o:-name:="x";
          return o;
       end proc;

    end module;
end module;

And now the command

You see the difference. mint complains that A is not declared.

Is this a bug in mint?

Has this extended scrollbar always been like this?
Maybe it is a browser thing.
Which browser is Maple using?
Are there any settings I could adjust?

Maplesoft now has a new approach to providing customer support for Maple users! The Maple Customer Support Updates allows Maplesoft to provide important updates to our customers as fast as possible. These updates contain a series of improvements and fixes to any area of the Maple library, enabling a rapid response for customer reports and requests. When a Maple user reports a bug or weakness, or requests some missing functionality that can be addressed with an update to the Maple library, such an update can now be provided immediately after the fix or improvement is developed. Furthermore, the update will not just be available to that customer who reported it, but also to any other Maple users who wishes to use them. Of course, not all reports will be able to be addressed quickly, and for those that are, it will be up to the developer's discretion whether to make the fix or improvement available via these new Maple Customer Support Updates. Please note that these Updates may contain experimental elements that could change in subsequent official releases.

The updates are available as a workbook containing a Maple library file that can be downloaded and installed from the Maple Cloud. To install the Maple Customer Support Updates from the Maple Cloud,

• Click the MapleCloud icon in the upper-right corner of the Maple GUI window and select Packages.
• Find the Maple Customer Support Updates package and click the Install button, the last one under Actions.
• To check for new versions of Maple Customer Support Updates, click the MapleCloud icon and select Updates. If the cloud icon in the Actions column of Maple Customer Support Updates has the word Update beside it, then you can click on it to download a new update.

To make the process of installing and maintaining the Maple Customer Support Updates as smooth as possible, we've also introduced a new Maple library package, SupportTools, with 3 commands, Update, Version, and RemoveUpdates.

I am trying to create a diagram in Maple using its plotting tools and simulate a simply connected domain and multiple paths between two points.

My first try is the following

I would like to ask if I could create something like that in Maple or should I use another software to draw it?

To save space, I've decided to show problems found so far in Maple 2025 in one worksheet.

Hoping someone will figure the cause. The big problem is that these internal errors can not be cought using try/catch. Which means there is no user workaround. If they can be cought, then it is not a big problem.

Some from odetest, some from int and some from simplify and some from symgen.

Below is worksheet showing output in Maple 2024.2. It shows NO internal error is generated in any one. Either a result is returned, or it timedout as expected.

This shows all the above cases are regressions in Maple 2025.

Download collection_of_problems_maple_2024_version.mw

This looks like regression in dsolve.

In Maple 2024.2, dsolve solves this with no problem and very quickly. 

In Maple 2025 it just hangs.

Any one could find why this is the case? infolevel does not show why. Below is Maple 2024.2 worksheet and Maple 2025 worksheet.  This is Maple 2024.2 NO HANG

Hello everyone,

How I get a plot for this function ? What means numeric values ?

Dear Maple Support Team and Community,

    I would like to report what seems to be a bug in Maple's MatrixExponential function in the LinearAlgebra package.

    Consider the following 8×8 skew-Hermitian matrix B:
 

B := Matrix(8, 8, [[0, I, 0, -I, 0, I, 0, -I], 
                   [-I, 0, I, 0, -I, 0, I, 0], 
                   [0, -I, 0, I, 0, -I, 0, I], 
                   [I, 0, -I, 0, I, 0, -I, 0], 
                   [0, I, 0, -I, 0, I, 0, -I], 
                   [-I, 0, I, 0, -I, 0, I, 0], 
                   [0, -I, 0, I, 0, -I, 0, I], 
                   [I, 0, -I, 0, I, 0, -I, 0]]);

    Now compute the matrix exponential exp(I*t*B) using MatrixExponential

H := LinearAlgebra:-MatrixExponential(I * t * B);

However, this result is inconsistent with the matrix exponential computed using MATLAB and SageMath, both of which give the same result, different from Maple's.

I would appreciate it if someone from the development team could look into this.

I wonder what is the general view on this.

Maple tries hard to find analytical solutions by trying different algorithms. Which is very good. But the question is, should it also hang doing this? Should not there be a circuit breaker to prevent the hang?

I mean there must be a limited number of algorithms it tries. So at one point one would expect it will finish and return either no solution or the solution it found.

For this Abel ode   y'=x+y^3, which is known not to be solvable, Maple hangs on 

           > Step 2: calculating resultants to eliminate F and get candidates for 

I waited for almost one hour. Clearly this indicates a problem internally. Right?

There should be some internal checks to prevent this hang I would think.  I do not know where it actually hangs, since trace only shows the last step above.

It will good to find out the cause of the hang and add code to prevent this in a future version of Maple dsolve to make it more robust.

btw, using that another software, it returns instantly on this ode with no solution. May be the other software did not try as hard, but at least it did not hang :)

Do you think could be a bug in dsolve? 

Download dsolve_division_by_zero_abel_april_16_2025.mw

If I do not tell it to use Abel, then dsolve does not give divison by zero.

Maple 2025 on Linux

I can't find the help page for Abel second kind, class B. 

Maple has help page for Abel second kind, class A and Abel second kind, class C. But not for class B. 

Here is an example of Abel second kind class B

ode:=(3*t*y(t)+y(t)^2)+(t^2+t*y(t))*diff(y(t),t)=0;
DEtools:-odeadvisor(ode)

I wanted to know the difference and the transformation used for class B to make it Abel first kind.

I googled and can't find it. Also local help skips over class B.

Is this documented somewhere else?

btw, find error on the help page for class A. Transformation used is wrong. Will leave this for another question.

I have repeatedly seen this on two Windows PCs:

The assignement operator := is rendered as a roman d

This happens after using Maple for some time.
 Exiting Maple and restart of Maple is required. Has someone noticed the same?
All on Windows 10 and for sure in screen reader mode (my default, cannot report on the new GUI).

It seems that the new Ribbon interface has several bugs (probably an update will come soon). So, not only the Export As is not working, but I see that (at least in Windows), opening a worksheet with a large output will display the output using the Maple input font.
Just save a .mw with the content:

expand((x+1)^200);

and then open it.

hello everyone,

I am a bit shortsighted even with my glasses.

So my question is easy :: is there a way that when I open a (new) worksheet the magnification is 150%.

I can do it easily by hand but I am looking for 'something' in my maple.ini file to do this?

As well with the help pages.

Because even if I have a 150% magnification and I call a help page the display is still 100 % not 150%.

A part that I would like to set for every session a Digits:16 .

In the .ini file where I must input this? A ";" or not?

Thank you veru much.

I've reported this problem to Maple many years ago but still not fixed in Maple 2025.

Maple not able to verify its own solution on some series solutions using odetest.

Any one can suggest a workaround one can use other than odetest to verify ode solution when using series? Or have an idea why this happens?

The solution is correct but for some reason odetest returns FAIL 

Below is one example of many I have
