commit 528fe6ff1ec07b75edf4a320def79f72396ca7df
Author: Richard Kreckel <kreckel at ginac.de>
Date:   Fri Jan 3 00:01:06 2025 +0100

    Finalize 1.8.8 release.

commit 22716a2cc76624dfc8a254c64361e51feeeedcf8
Author: Richard Kreckel <kreckel at ginac.de>
Date:   Thu Jan 2 18:37:07 2025 +0100

    Make symbol assignments global in ginsh.
    
    When assigning an expression to a symbol, scan all previously assigned
    symbols for that new symbol to occur in the expressions and replace
    it with the new expression.
    
    This has the effect of making symbols global in the scope of a ginsh
    session.
    
    See <https://www.ginac.de/pipermail/ginac-devel/2024-December/002655.html>.
    
    The patch restores the behavior prior to GiNaC 1.4.4. It actually
    even improves on it because the old version was based on assigned
    symbols and that did not work with circular assignments whereas
    substituion does.

    Add regression tests for built-in expression parser...
    
    ...involving functions and constants (and their evaluation).
    And while at it, fix a stray comment from 30c85fbe.
