While trying to insert 'maxima' session in TeXmacs document the system says "Unsupported version of maxima: 5.9.3". According to official site of Maxima, there's no official release of 5.9.3, but this version is already in portage.

Created attachment 84738 [details, diff] patch to tm_maxima that forces it to allow maxima 5.9.3 to run under TeXmacs I'm not sure that there's no any changes since 5.9.2 release of maxima in input/output, but it seems that there's no any fatal consequences of this quick and dirty tweak.
Can we please have som input from sci?
I don't know much about texmacs, but looking at the maxima mailing list, some patches for texmacs have been proposed: http://www.math.utexas.edu/pipermail/maxima/2006/012832.html.

Put texmacs-maxima-5.9.2.lisp into /usr/share/TeXmacs/plugins/maxima/lisp Put maxima_detect and tm_maxima into /usr/libexec/TeXmacs/bin With this done TeXmacs provides a beautiful front end for maxima. It works well. I encourage you to add this to the maxima/texmacs ebuilds.
Fixed in CVS. Thanks for reporting and leading me to the solution! It should be fixed (without needing to patch) in the next version of texmacs.
