Is there a published list of bugs in Mathematica?
A10. For each new version of Mathematica released, there is a list of bugs that have been fixed. Between versions no explicit list of bugs is published. The reason is that, until the end of a release cycle, no final determination has been made that a particular reported problem is in fact a bug. For example, what should Log[0] return? Someone might file a problem report claiming that it should be unevaluated. But someone else might claim it should be -Infinity. Working out which is correct requires careful overall review–and overall review is not possible until one can see the whole proposed release. Nevertheless, if registered users want to know whether any problem reports have been filed about a particular issue, Wolfram Research technical support is able to query an internal database to determine this.
