MathB 1.0.0

By Susam Pal on 20 Sep 2022

MathB 1.0.0 is the first major release of MathB since 2012, bringing significant updates to this web-based mathematics pastebin service.

The most notable change is a complete rewrite in Common Lisp, replacing the original PHP codebase. This shift reflects my preference for Lisp, a language I truly enjoy. It also makes the project easier for me to maintain actively.

This release introduces the use of the TeXMe parser to robustly parse and render posts written using Markdown and LaTeX. Further, now there is support for dark colour scheme for systems that have dark colour scheme enabled. For those who host this service on their web servers, MathB now supports a runtime control file named opt.lisp where a number of properties of this service can be customised. These customisable properties include maximum title length, maximum code length, minimum time interval between two posts, etc. See CHANGES.md for a detailed changelog.
