Hello folks,

3.3.alpha5 is out and unlike 3.3.alpha4 it is being announced on sage-
devel. The main problem with alpha4 as you might have seen already was
that I broke the NTL dylib build while removing some code from sage-
env. Since then I also merged a bunch of other nice fixes (updated
m4ri, app bundle for OSX on bdist, TinyMCE polishing/fixes) and a also
fixed a couple doctests, so alpha5 is relatively small, but we need to
get it tested.

Source tarball, a sage.math binary a the upgrade package can all be
found in the usual place at

  http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mabshoff/release-cycles-3.3/

I already build and doctested this alpha5 on SkyNet, Solaris x86,
Sparc as well as OSX 64 bit and you should see only four doctest
failures:

#5027: doctest failure for rings/polynomial/toy_d_basis.py [has an
agreed up fix, needs trivial patch]
#5166: Sage 3.3.a4: sage/symbolic/function.pyx doctest failure on OSX
[has a patch, needs review]
#5172: Sage 3.3.a5: more numerical noise in sage/calculus/calculus.py
[trivial to fix]
#5173: Sage 3.3.a5: doctest failure in sage/rings/polynomial/
polynomial_element.pyx due to print order of roots [cwitty? :)]

Three of those are already as good as fixed, the only one that needs
investigation is #5173. This build still fails on Fedora 9 & 10 with
the dreaded out of memory error. There will be an alpha6 to fix
various security issues in outdated spkgs we ship and also resolve the
Fedora Core issue (which we might not succeed at), but the merge pace
should slow down substantially after alpha6 since we need to get this
release out the door quickly. If you want to get a patch in before the
ReST transition now is the time to get it reviewed and merged since
the window is closing rapidly, i.e. expect few things to get merged
past Thursday. We have warned you about that numerous times, but now
the time has come where you will get screwed if the file you are
patching is part of the ReST transition. No point in whining in a week
or two :)

Please download, build, doctest and report any issues.

Cheers,

Michael
