> I'm working on 4.5.3.alpha0, which will contain a mix of spkg updates
and repository patches from report {32}. Should I attempt to merge this
ticket into 4.5.3 or wait for a dedicated Sage release? Also, can someone
indicate exactly which spkg and patch to apply? Thanks!
Does this have to be called 4.5.3? I'd feel a lot happier calling it 4.6.0
if there's a major upgrade like Singular. But I think you should try to
upgrade Singular.
I don't see the need of a dedicated release - there are lots of updates
that have almost no chance of conflicting with this.
I guess I'm one of the people that believes increments in the last digit
are just minor changes (bug fixes) and not major new components. It's just
the release number I don't like - I think its right to merge this, and
some .spkg updates. Pari seems to have stalled again, so I'd go for
Singular.
That said, I seem to be in a minority who feel version numbers should
reflect the sort of updates that take place. Almost everyone seems happy
with random numbers!
