Thanks, Volker, for the new release candidate! Looks like we are getting 
closer to a working release.

Tests on various platforms are running at:
- https://github.com/sagemath/sage/actions/runs/724020346 (Linux and macOS)
- https://github.com/sagemath/sage/actions/runs/724020349 (Cygwin)
- https://github.com/sagemath/sage/actions/runs/724020348 (optional 
packages)

*All: *We do not have working automatic tests for the *Windows Subsystem 
for Linux* platforms (WSL1 and WSL2). If you have access to a machine 
running Windows 10, *testing on these platforms will be very helpful. 
*(https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/31612 
(*needs review*) may or may not be needed.)

*Volker: *Repeating my suggestion in 
https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/22657#comment:10 (to which I have not 
received a reaction yet), could you please run the *binary building scripts* 
for this (or the next) release candidate so that developers can test 
whether the built binaries work -- in particular, whether they are portable 
between processor variants.

*Volker: *I would like to see a number of "workhorse" tickets merged in the 
next release candidate:
- https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/31592 - another fix to the Singular 
build scripts, fixes a reported build failure
- https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/31496 - removes a message from the 
configure output with big potential to confuse users
- https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/31554 and 
https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/31479 - symbolics bugs with blocker flavor
- https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/31515 - sympy bugfix upgrade (1.7->1.7.1)
- https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/31532, 
https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/30213, 
https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/31541 *(needs review)*, 
https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/31534 
*(needs review)* - more updates to the GH Actions workflows so that our 
demonstration of platform support in the release tour will be more 
impressive
- https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/31505 *(needs review)* - no longer 
refuse to build when MacPorts is active
- https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/27804 - enables build of the polymake 
package on platforms where our lrslib package is broken (I know, not a 
blocker ticket by definition)

*All: *Thanks to all who have contributed to https://wiki.sagemath.org/
*ReleaseTours*/sage-9.3! More help, also with balancing out the writing, is 
very welcome. 

*All: *Also some last minute work on our *documentation* would be very 
valuable: https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/29784, 
https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/31101
 
*All:* In addition to testing the SageMath distribution, please also help 
testing our new *PyPI distribution packages ("pip-installable Sage").* See 
https://pypi.org/project/sagemath-standard/ 
and https://pypi.org/project/sage-conf/ . (The pip install of the source 
packages should work on all platforms; the *pre-built wheels* are only 
available for macOS 10.15 Python 3.8 at the moment.)
