GeoGebra Discovery 2024Oct14

Summary

This is a snapshot release of GeoGebra Discovery.

GeoGebra Discovery is based on the official GeoGebra version 5.0.641.0. It contains several extensions that are communicated via its feature matrix.

What is new?

• The CAS View can be exported to LaTeX now. This option is available at File > Export... > Export CAS View to LaTeX in the desktop version and in File > Download as... > Export CAS View to LaTeX in the web version.

Known bugs

• Exports in the web version may have problems with accented characters. Most of such issues can be worked around by using the recode utility for the moment.

Available platforms

• Online version (recommended unless you need heavy or outsourced¹ computations or applets with several objects, tested in Chrome 129.0.6668.89)
• Windows 10/11
  • with bundled Microsoft Java 11.0.17, 2022-10-18 (recommended)
  • without Java (not recommended unless you know what you are doing: you need to install Java separately, or you need an existing 64-bit Java installation: version 8 or above)
• Mac OS (with bundled JBR Java), help on installation
• Linux
  • Most users should consider using the Snapcraft port: it updates automatically, therefore only a one-time installation is needed (recommended)
  • Bundle for Ubuntu Linux 22.04+ (not recommended unless you know what you are doing: an existing 64-bit Java installation is required, version 8 or above)
• Raspberry Pi OS 11 (an existing Java installation is required, version 11 is suggested)
• Web version in an extractable ZIP file, for offline use

1. Outsourced computations can be done via Singular for algebraic problems, and via Mathematica, Maple (in the subsystems RegularChains or SyNRAC) or Reduce (in the subsytem RedLog) for real geometry problems. The computer algebra systems Giac and Tarski (the latter includes QEPCAD B) are embedded in GeoGebra Discovery. ↩
