This was caused by trac 14243, which -- in retrospect -- I *strongly* disagree with being included in Sage (http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/14243). In SageMathCloud, I manually revert that ticket so that users have a better experience: https://github.com/sagemathinc/smc-sage/commit/7c9cfd095463091bcf41e1c6ea6e8eebfb61f00c I've made http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/19612 to revert 14243. - William > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sage-support" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- William (http://wstein.org) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
