Hello,
I have posted the tarball for sage-2.8.2.rc2 here:
http://sage.math.washington.edu/tmp/
and plan to actually release it
in maybe 8 hours. This is mostly a bug-fix release, both fixing core
library bugs and
issues in the build process (work of 3 people full time for a week),
and fixing actual
bugs in SAGE (the big bug-squash even, etc.). It should have no nontrivial new
features. I want this to be a fairly stable release that isn't broken in any
serious obvious ways. It would be very useful for me if some people could
try downloading this release, building from source, doing "make test",
*trying out the notebook* to make sure isn't completely broken, and also
take a look at the generated html documentation (in SAGE_ROOT/doc).
I made some significant changes to the notebook regarding security, since
the fact that by default anybody can login to the machine where you run
the notebook and hack into your account trivially is a major bug:
(1) the notebook use https by default
(2) notebook.setup() allows one to explictily set the hostname (to eliminate
the certificate error).
Thanks,
-- William
