Hello folks, here goes 3.2.2.alpha0. We have been steadily merging patches and gotten some of the larger and more disruptive patches in. The most visible change is #717 by Gary Furnish which finally fixes a long standing problem with time out issues in doctests, i.e. with this release any hanging pexpect session will be killed when the timeout has been reached regardless of CPU use.
Note that slightly against the rules I have merged the three patches at #4276 because I wanted to avoid bitrotting them again. Nick Alexander has done some review of the patch and is unhappy about certain aspect of the embedding code, so right now the patch is in alpha0 on probation. If push comes to shove the patch will go in since it doesn't change any defaults AFAIK (Robert?) and even if the new functionality is slightly buggy and/or incomplete this can be fixed until 3.2.2 is done. Another reason is that various people plan to work on number fields and this patch set is sure to cause major pain merging. As always there are sources and a sage.math binary in http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mabshoff/release-cycles-3.2.2/ You should be able to upgrade from 3.2.1 by running ./sage -upgrade http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mabshoff/release-cycles-3.2.2/sage-3.2.2.alpha0/ Please build, test and report any issues.
