Hello,
I've released SAGE-2.8.3. Source and binaries for everything but vmware are
posted here:
http://sagemath.org/
And you can (probably) do "sage -upgrade". (The vmware binary will appear
shortly.)
IMPORTANT NOTE: I just realized that SAGE-2.8.3 includes some pre-compiled
java .jar files in the
SAGE_ROOT/data/extcode/notebook/java/3d
directory. If you're the sort of person who must compile everything from
source, wait
for SAGE-2.9, when we'll do something about this problem (probably the only
option
is to move these to an optional package since I do not want to require java
to be installed
in order to build SAGE).
The main changes are as follows, though there are many many others:
* Michael Abshoff: General build, debugging, etc., contributions.
* Martin Albrecht: Much new code for working with matrices over certain
polynomial rings
* Michael A and Martin A: fixed serious memory leaks in integer linear
algebra
* Tom Boothby: Greatly improved pow and generic_power
* Tom Boothby: Preliminary notebook support for internet explorer
* Robert Bradshaw: Added first version of new java/notebook based 3d
plotting capabilities.
* Robert Bradshaw: Improvements to coercion code
* Robert Bradshaw and David Joyner: New Rubik's cube solver code
interface code.
* Paule Dehaye: Interface improvements
* Mike Hansen: Lie interface
* David Joyner, Tom Boothby, Robert Miller: Update to guava in the GAP
spkg.
* Joel Mohler (with Craig Citro and David Harvey): Move c_lib back into
the main SAGE repo (no more sage_c_lib); NTL wrapper improvements
* William Stein: New Modular forms code.
* William Stein: upgraded maxima to version 5.13.0
* William Stein: Fix some quaternion algebra bugs; Fix bug with current
directory in notebook.
Also, 42 tickets were closed with this release, as listed below, or see
http://sagetrac.org/sage_trac/query?status=closed&milestone=sage-2.8.3&order=priority
There are a shocking 71 tickets targeted for milestone sage-2.9:
