So, we get an awful lot for free here.  However, we need support for  the base at the very top level in an \"option\" at the stack options level.  This will ensure that all sessions use the same number base, including those sessions which implement the answer tests.\r\n\r\nAdding in another question level option adds complexity and is non-reversible.\r\n\r\nThe recent commit b124349e8c3023f9b4ca63649f8c2aae64de04c7 ensures that ibase and obase don't always break things, but a lot more is needed here."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/maths/moodle-qtype_stack/issues/comments/350641881","html_url":"https://github.com/maths/moodle-qtype_stack/issues/317#issuecomment-350641881","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/maths/moodle-qtype_stack/issues/317","id":350641881,"user":{"login":"sangwinc","id":781615,"avatar_url":"https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/781615?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/sangwinc","html_url":"https://github.com/sangwinc","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sangwinc/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sangwinc/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sangwinc/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sangwinc/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sangwinc/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sangwinc/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sangwinc/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sangwinc/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sangwinc/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2017-12-11T07:24:01Z","updated_at":"2017-12-11T07:24:01Z","author_association":"OWNER","body":"I'm sorry you are struggling with validation.  The complexity of this has grown over the years, and I think the whole inputs folder is probably due to be refactored.\r\n\r\nI agree wholeheartedly, that our own distro of Maxima would be great.  We could then know what people were using, and check new version of Maxima work before they are in the wild!  A cut-down version might be faster, and have fewer libraries we don't want.  Etc...  It has been on my mind for a while.  If you have suggestions of a mechanism this would be great."}}
