This is a good example of how Maple result looks different depending on what calls to Maple were made before.

I can't upload worksheet so have to show code and screen shot. Compare the screen shot below. Maple 2025.2. Same exact input., In first example the polynomial terms display in different order compared to the second example, even though the same exact input is used.

Clearly the first example is because Maple remembered this polynomial in its remember table somewhere before due to earlier call, and did not want to make new copy since it is same polynomial?

But I do want to make new polynomial. The old copy/order this polynomial in Maple internal tables is getting in the way.

But do not know how to tell Maple to clear its cache so I get same display as in the second example. I know both answers is the same. But the issue is why it displays different.

How could I get same output from first example as in the second one? What do I need to clear? I tried forget(Student:-Precalculus:-CompleteSquare) but this had no effect. ALso tried forget(all); also forget(all,forgetpermanent = true,reinitialize=true); also forget(Student:-Precalculus:-CompleteSquare,subfunctions=true);

code

restart;

eq := x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - 2*x + 8*y - 6*z - 30 = 0:
eq:=Student:-Precalculus:-CompleteSquare(eq):
e1:=convert(indets(%,`^`),list):
e2:=zip((a,b)->a=b,e1,[X,Y,Z]):
e3:=sort(eval(eq,e2));
e4:=map(X->rhs(X)=lhs(X),e2);
eval(e3,e4);

restart;

e3 := X + Y + Z - 56 = 0;
e4 := [X = (x - 1)^2, Y = (y + 4)^2, Z = (z - 3)^2];
eval(e3,e4);

What is the current status of SupportTools? Is this something that still brings fixes in Maple before official release?

I am asking because there have not been an update to ST since June 23, 2025. Almost 6 months ago.

Should one still check for current version of SupportTools, is it still being updated or not? If not, then what does SupportTools package actualy do or contain if it is no longer needed/used? 

This is all fussy for me, and some clarification for users will be good to better understand the role of this package.

odetest does not want to verify this maple solution against the IC.  Anyone could find why or a trick to get [0,0] from odetest?

Can not upload worksheet due to firewall at Mapleprime issue. Here the code and screen shot.

ode := diff(y(x),x) +cos(1/exp(2*x))*y(x) = sin(1/exp(x));
IC := a*D(y)(x0)+ c*y(x0) = b*y0;
maple_sol:=dsolve([ode,IC],y(x));
the_residue:=odetest(maple_sol,[ode,IC]);

#not zero, also simplify did not give zero

using regular expression in Maple is little annoying, because one has to escape \ in the regx string itself, which makes it more complicated compared to other languages. For example

StringTools:-RegMatch("^\[.*\]$","[A]")

gives false. But

StringTools:-RegMatch("^\\[.*\\]$","[A]")

gives true.

Other languages have special function to generate the regx itself, which does not require escaping the \ when writing the regx Which makes it easier to see the regx (escaping is done under the cover). like this

Since all places and web sites that show examples of regx., do not have to escape \ before using, it will be good if Maple adds such special new function to StringTools to generate regx like the above so users do not have to remember to escape \.   

It is hard enough to use regx without having to also remember to escape things.

I could not find such a function in Maple. Does one exist?
