As many of you know, I am starting a new research position at the University of South Carolina with Anthony Scopatz's new research group, ERGS. A large part of my work will involve improving SymPy, particularly the code generation. I will also have time to do supporting work on SymPy.
The first thing that I would like to do is get the promised 1.0 release out. The 1.0 release already has some major changes slated, including splitting out of mpmath as a hard external dependency, various changes to the old and new assumptions systems toward unifying them (including various backwards incompatible changes to the definitions of various assumptions), a new solveset module that will eventually supersede the current solve module. Because this will be a 1.0 release, and because there are already so many major changes, I'd like to push any other changes that are slated, especially breaking changes. Once 1.0 is out, the goal is to have releases happen much more often, with less fanfare. I will be able to dedicate a large amount of time for this, but I need your help in identifying issues that should be solved for the release. Please comment on the release issue (https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues/9891) and add issues to the release milestone (https://github.com/sympy/sympy/milestones/1.0). If something isn't in that milestone, I will assume that it isn't blocking the release. The most important things for the release are any changes that break compatibility, and critical bug fixes. Also any changes to API that is new since 0.7.6 should be considered especially important, so that we can avoid breaking stable API at all. My current, conservative goal is to start a release branch (effectively freezing it from noncritical changes) in a month's time (mid-November).
