GeoGebra 4
- GeoGebra 4.0.25.0 with bugfixes and a new keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Shift-B to export to GeoGebraWeb (see below) has been released
GeoGebraWeb
- GeoGebraWeb is the HTML5 version of GeoGebra for iPads / Chromebooks / Android Tablets
We have released a new version:
- Input Boxes now working
- FormulaText now works for conditional functions eg FormulaText[If[x = 3, x + 1, If[x < 5, x + 2, x + 3]]]
- Almost all commands now working
- Lots of other small improvements
- All relevant JavaScript methods are working: Java Script
- Most applet parameters now supported: Applet Parameters
- New applet parameter to adjust for touch screens: data-param-capturingThreshold
- Just one Graphics View supported at the moment (no Spreadsheet, Algebra View)
Notes:
- Dashed lines depend on the browser supporting that. Currently only Firefox does.
- If you upload worksheets to GeoGebra then they will automatically use Java or HTML5 as appropriate
Please report successes and problems here
GeoGebra
- A new version of GeoGebra has been deployed. This now uses a super-fast method of deploying Java Applets so the worksheets will load faster than if you host them on your own servers (and they will automatically work on iPads etc too, see above)
GeoGebra 4.2
- A new version of GeoGebra 4.2 Beta has been released with enhanced Python Scripting, and we are working hard to make that even better! More details
