Hi folks, Yes, you heard right. It's Sage 4.1.2.alpha4, not 4.1.2.alpha3. Sage 4.1.2.alpha3 was released by William Stein for working on making the notebook a self-contained package. The source tarball for Sage 4.1.2.alpha4 is up at
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mvngu/release/upgrade/sage-4.1.2.alpha4.tar the binary tarball is available at http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mvngu/release/upgrade/sage-4.1.2.alpha4-sage.math.washington.edu-x86_64-Linux.tar.gz and the upgrade path is http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mvngu/release/upgrade/sage-4.1.2.alpha4/ You can also find the download links for this pre-release on trac at http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/milestone/sage-4.1.2 Please test and report all problems. With this release, the Sage 4.1.2 release cycle is now officially in feature freeze mode. No new feature would be added, unless it's absolutely necessary. In feature freeze mode, we hope to resolve all doctest issues previously reported for Sage 4.1.2.alpha2. In particular, we have a doctest failure from the file sage/crypto/boolean_function.pyx which is probably due to a 32- vs. 64-bit issue. A patch to fix this doctest failure is up at ticket #7020 http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7020 We still have about half a dozen or so blocker tickets to resolve before Sage 4.1.2 is out the door. The following blocker tickets already have patches and/or updated spkg's and are waiting for some thumbs up: * #6681 cliquer doesn't work in 64-bit OS X --- The updated spkg here has been tested on various Linux distributions and Mac OS X 10.5. It still needs someone to test it on SPARC Solaris with at least GCC, as well as testing on OS X 10.6. If you're going to build Sage 4.1.2.alpha4 from source or upgrading from source on 64-bit openSUSE or 64-bit Fedora 10, it's likely that you need to replace the cliquer package that's shipped with Sage 4.1.2alpha4 with the updated cliquer spkg at #6681. * #7022 os x -- 10.6 -- generated the matplotlib font cache crashes sage --- This is a port of matplotlib to OS X 10.6 and so it requires someone with access to at least Snow Leopard to test that updated package. We still want to support OS X 10.5; any testing on that platform would be appreciated. I don't know about OS X 10.4, but it doesn't hurt to try on that platform as well. * #6990 readline tab completion has an extra space appended --- This ticket has an updated Python 2.6.2 package to fix a readline issue. It has been tested on various Linux distributions, OS X 10.6, and SPARC Solaris with GCC. Any volunteers to test it on OS X 10.5 and SPARC Solaris with the Sun compiler? There are also three blocker tickets that have been reported to be related to PPC OS X 10.5: * #6754 sage-4.1.1 -- numerical noise on OS X 10.5 PPC * #6755 sage-4.1.1 -- twist.py tests are seriously broken on OS X 10.5 PPC * #6753 sage-4.1.1 -- bug in integral_elements_in_box All of these PPC related tickets don't have patches yet. Anyone with access to a PPC OS X 10.5 machine who could help out? The following tickets were merged in Sage 4.1.2.alpha4. A big thank you to everyone who reviewed tickets during our inaugural Sage Review Day, especially to Jason Grout for organizing our first ever review day. I would also like to extend my gratitude to everyone who have worked on tickets during this alpha release. Without your dedication and effort, we wouldn't have resolved over 200 tickets so far in the Sage 4.1.2 release cycle.
