Hi,

I've posted a preliminary SAGE-2.5.alpha0 tarball here:

  /home/was/sage2.5

I'm uploading it now -- it's 93 MB, and I'm uploading it as I write this email.
I don't know for certain that it builds, though hopefully it will both build
and pass all doctests -- reports are welcome. Especially if it doesn't
build respond to this email and let us know, so other people don't waste a lot
of time trying to build it.

It includes the new ** Calculus package **, among other things.  There
are still numerous patches that haven't been incorporated in yet.
Look in devel/sage/sage/calculus/calculus.py and wester.py for lots
and lots of examples.

The calculus package actually massively changes the feel of SAGE.
It's quite interesting.  It's also worrisome, which is one reason I'm
taking my time on this release.  I hope I get some feedback and bug
fixes before the release.

I had wanted to release sage-2.5 today, but there's no way that can
happen, since there's a lot left to do.   I don't see a sage-2.5 release
happening until at least Friday.  I want to give people time try
play with the new calculus functionality first to make sure it is
useful and not too radical a change for SAGE.
