Hello, This is alpha7, as you can guess alpha6 wasn't really ready for prime time. The main problem were little build oddities and some larger integration issues with ATLAS fixed by Josh Kantor and yours truly. Additionally I merged a bunch of other, non-ATLAS related fixes by William Stein, Robert Bradshaw, Burcin Erocal, Yi Qiang and Mike Hansen. This release will be basis for Bug Day 7 and should have been out hours ago, but I fell asleep waiting for doctests to finish on OSX 10.5. The release compiles on sage.math as well as bsd [OSX 10.5] and all doctests pass. I consider this release quite stable.
The only high priority known build issue is #1497, for which a workaround exists. So if you run FC7, 32 bit on a Dual core CPU please disable power management completely before the build. We are working on a way to detect this issue and stopping the build of ATLAS with a menaingful error message. The 183 MB tarball is at http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mabshoff/sage-2.9.alpha7.tar Cheers, Michael Look at: #1258 Open Issues: #1486: Singular doesn't compile on Slackware 12 [bug fix has been proposed] #1497: ATLAS fails to build on FC7, Dual code [known ATLAS issue with workaround] Negative review: #1399 [partial, being discussed on gg:sage-devel] Merged in alpha7: #1340: Robert Bradshaw: %cython broken if directory name contains spaces #1398: Mike Hansen: Functions on integers which are not object-oriented #1462: William Stein: make sure that not to update the timestamp cache if compilation fails #1487: Michael Abshoff: ATLAS breaks with parallel make #1488: William Stein: fix output of symbolic vectors #1489: William Stein: serious bug in calculus maxima parsing #1490: Michael Abhsoff: fix numerical noise doctest failure in numerical/test.py #1492: Yi Qiang: update sqlite.spkg to 3.5.3.p1 [this also closes #1152, #1202] #1493 Burcin Erocal: polybori doesn't free m4ri data on exit #1497: Josh Kantor: Configure ATLAS properly for 32 bit user space on 64 bit CPU #1499: Michael Abshoff: fix import issues related to ATLAS BLAS on non-OSX #1500: William Stein: solve_mod -- implement solving modulo n in sage #1501: Josh Kantor: udpate cvxopt to use ATLAS on Linux Merged in alpha6: #469: Burcin Erocal: Add BoolenPolynomialRing to global namespace.
