"unwrap" gets confused if applied before "distribute"

Question

It seems to me that unwrap (in Cadabra 2) fails to recognize properly the dependency of an additive combination of dependent quantities. Here's the simplest case,

\partial{#}::PartialDerivative.

{ A, B, C, D }::Depends(\partial{#}).

ex1 := \partial_{\alpha}{ A (B + r C) }.

ex2 := \partial_{\alpha}{ (A + r B) (C + r D) }.

unwrap(ex1); unwrap(ex2);

In the first case it treats $(B + r C)$ as a constant. In the second case it produces unrecognizable result. There's no syntax error and the result is wrong which, I suppose, is a problem.

Of course, if one distributes first and then unwraps, the result comes out right. The reason why I need to do the other way around is another problem, which I ask as a separate question.

Answer 1

Well spotted. This was a silly mistake for the default properties of the \sum node. I have now pushed a fix to github, please try again.

Sorry, I'm not very good at using github. I'm using Ubuntu. Will it be OK if I just install it again? Thanks.

If you build from github again, just install on top of the existing version.

I haven't yet had time to make new .deb packages.

You downloaded Cadabra version 1. Try version 2 from

Sorry for the confusion. unwrap is working fine now. Many thanks!
