Hello folks, this is Sage 3.0.3.alpha0. It looks like we we are continuing our somewhat slow development pace while waiting for the coercion rewrite to finish. Trac still has a staggering 75+ patches waiting for review, so if you can spare a little time it would be nice if you could review a patch or two.
Other than the usual fixes we have fixed dsage.setup() to work again, did merge the latest M4RI which contains all the great work done by Martin Albrech and Bill Hart, merged more of Tim Abbott's Debianization work, some combinat improvments by Mike Hansen and Mike Zabrocki, my work on OSX 64 bit build support which I will plug in a separate email and much more. Apologies to anybody not mentioned by name here, but below you can see all the gory details. As usual there are the sources and a sage.math only binary: http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mabshoff/release-cycles-3.0.3/sage-3.0.3.alpha0.tar http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mabshoff/release-cycles-3.0.3/sage-3.0.3.alpha0-sage.math-only-x86_64-Linux.tar.gz I am not sure how the rest of the release cycle will play out timewise because it all depends to a large extend on when the coercion code is ready to be merged. Either way I want to do a release by June 5th since I will be traveling to UW on June 7th. So we might do 3.0.4 before the 3.1 release which will be largely limited to the coercion merge. Thoughts?
