A quick remark upfront: This Bug Day rocked! We got a lot
accomplished
and pretty much merged every mergable patch. Thanks to everybody who
participated! We closed roughly 60 tickets, see

http://www.sagetrac.org/sage_trac/query?status=closed&milestone=sage-2.8.15

As it turned out Alpha 2 is loads of fixes and all the prep-work for
the ATLAS merge, but ATLAS itself didn't make it yet. The tarball is
at

  http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mabshoff/sage-2.8.15.alpha2.tar
[167 MB]

Depending on the strategy we can do two things:

 * release 2.8.15 late Sunday, maybe merge in ATLAS if it works, then
do a
   2.8.16 release with the updated Singular, FLINT 1.0 and PolyBoRi
toward
   the end of the week.

 * release 2.8.15 with Singular and PolyBori, maybe even FLINT 1.0.
This
   depends on how much time burcin and malb have this weekend to
update
   Singular and provide a PolyBoRi.spkg. PolyBoRi might go in without
   bindings for now, i.e. to do a toolchain test and see if any
particular
   compiler/OS combo causes problems.

Let me know what your plans are so we can get this release out the
door smoothly.

I need to get some sleep now, back in about 8 hours.

Cheers,

Michael

ToDo:
 * bump scipy version to forcer rebuild on upgrade
 * investigate Justin's mwrank crashes on 10.5 - wonky hardware?
testall is fine
   on bsd and log is clean - we cannot reproduce this at all.
