Hi all,

I think the subject line pretty much says it all -- I just
successfully built sage-4.4.4 against the tip of cython-closures, and
it builds, runs, and passes all doctests(*). As far as I'm concerned,
that means it's time to roll ourselves an alpha. (Robert, do you want
to tell me what steps are involved in that? Is there a list
somewhere?) Also, what's the general rule for avoiding someone
clobbering the "working" state with a push? Should I just add a tag
for "0.13-alpha0" and we could always recover from there?

I just ran the Cython tests in the closures branch itself -- it looks
like there are a few doctest failures with the recent code there. I'm
happy to start helping with these tomorrow, but can we designate
cython-closures as "bugfix only" until the actual release? For that
matter, with closures becoming devel, soon we won't need a closures
branch anymore ... finally. ;)

(*) Actually, there's one doctest failure going on -- but it's a bug
in Sage, which I've reported.
(http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9524) It could be that
there's an associated underlying Cython bug, but I don't think so in
this case -- either way, it shouldn't stop us from rolling an alpha,
and a release if we still think it's not an underlying Cython bug.
