Hello, I've posted sage-2.5.alpha3 here:
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/was/sage2.5/ Feedback is welcome. This still won't build on OS X PowerPC or Cygwin, but should build on Linux and Intel OS X and pass "make test" there. Also, it should have most code that people have sent me for inclusion in SAGE. The official sage-2.5 is getting close, so any testing feedback is greatly appreciated. In particular, if people could try out some of the new features in sage-2.5, especially symbolic computation, this would be quite valuable. Here's a list of the main things that are new in sage-2.5.alpha3: 2.5: * new packages: - flintqs - ipython-0.8.0 (w stein) - maxima-5.12.0 (w stein) - python-2.5.1 (y qiang) -- important bug fixes - tachyon3d-0.98beta (w stein) * m abshoff: cputime bugfix for cygwin * m albrecht: major new singular library mode interface for SAGE which provides the world's fastest polynomial arithmetic to SAGE (not yet enabled by default!) * r bradshaw: tons of polynomial and power series optimizations; Coleman p-adic integration; Kedlaya for genus > 1 * t clemens: source browser bugfix * p de napoli:fix some bugs in rationals and integers * d deshomme: (refereed by r bradshaw and w stein) very good support for Hida's quad-double field RQDF. * w hart: quadratic sieve update (SAGE's qsieve command): "It is MUCH faster, especially for large factorizations, on account of having implemented the large prime variant. it will factor an 81 digit number in < 20 minutes. On the Athlon it is the fastest generally available implementation of the quadratic sieve in the world for certain sized factorizations, and only slightly behind at other sizes." Another example: n = next_prime(2^110)*next_prime(2^120) has these times on 32-bit 2Ghz linux: qsieve (107s), PARI (223s), Magma 2.13 (336s). * d harvey: improvements, bug fixes. * d kohel: quaternion algebra improvements * k minola: tmp file clean bugfix; misc build fixes. * k minola, d joyner: updated the conway polynomial table * w stein and b moretti: major new symbolic calculus functionality * w stein: rewrite of SAGE/maxima interface. * c witty: (refereed by n alexandar) a new algebraic reals field (Qbar meet RR!). mpfr improvements --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
