GeoGebra Discovery 2023Feb14
Summary
This is a stable release of GeoGebra Discovery, based on the official GeoGebra version 5.0.641.0.
It includes several extensions that are communicated on its website.
This version improves stability and speed of the Plot2D command and fixes some bugs in the Discover command.
See commits 0f78f1a, 0c383ee, c8dbbe1 and c226797 for some more technical details.
From this version on, a standalone bundle for Windows users is provided. That is, from now on, it is not necessary to download a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) separately in order to use GeoGebra Discovery. It is already contained in the installation bundle. However, the file to be downloaded is much larger. For those users who prefer a smaller package, we still provide .zip files that do not contain the JRE. If you use the smaller package, make sure that your Java version conforms your operating system (either 64-bit or 32-bit).
Available platforms
- Windows 10
- with Java (recommended):
- without Java (you need to install Java separately, or you need an existing Java installation: version 8 or above, either 64-bit or 32-bit, respectively):
- Mac OS (with bundled JBR Java), help on installation
- Ubuntu 18.04+ 64 bit (an existing Java installation is required, version 8 or above).
- Web version (tested in Chrome 109.0.5414.119)
- Raspberry Pi OS (an existing Java installation is required, version 8 or above)
As always, you can also try GeoGebra Discovery's latest version online.
Example
This version shows a technological breakthrough in visualizing semialgebraic equation systems (they may be combined with logical connectives) by using a simple caching algorithm in the background. When entering the commands a=Slider(-2,5), Plot2D(x² + y² <= a x³ - x y⁴ - 1), StartAnimation(a, true), a smooth animation is started. You can try this directly in the web version.
