Hi everyone. I am now off of classes, so my top priority is to get the release out. My goal is to have the release out by the end of the month.
There are some things that need to be done before the release: - Fix all blocking issues: I have spent the past few days going through the milestone-release0.7.0 issues (http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/list?q=label:Milestone-Release0.7.0) and fixing many of them. If people can help review any that have patches (http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/list?can=2&q=label%3AMilestone-Release0.7.0+label%3ANeedsReview), that would help. Also, if people can help fix those that don't yet have patches, that too would help. - Write release notes: This is not going to be easy. There have been almost 2000 commits since the last release (git describe --tags master). I have created https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/Release-Notes-for-0.7.0. Please help fill it out. This is the easiest thing that you can do if you want to help with the release. Just go through the git log and see what has changed, and put it in the notes. Don't worry about formatting too much on that page; it will be converted to plain text when it is released. The old release notes are at http://code.google.com/p/sympy/wiki/Changes (eventually these will need to be moved over to the new wiki, but that isn't really priority right now). There are at least two major changes, which are the polys and quantum code. I'd like to ask Mateusz and Brian and his students, respectively, to write those sections. Are there any other major changes? I don't remember. - If anyone knows of any major problems that need to be fixed (like a test failure in master), please open an issue for it and mark it as milestone-release0.7.0 (a patch would help too). - I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but at least these are the major things. Once I get a release candidate out, I will need help testing it, but that will not come until we fix all the blocking issues. GSoC students, this is great community bonding exercise. And since all of you have submitted a patch for this release for the first time, once we get the release out, you will have your names out there in the AUTHORS file and the release notes.
