Hi folks,

This is the first release candidate for Sage 4.1.1. Source and binary are at

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mvngu/release/sage-4.1.1.rc0.tar
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mvngu/release/sage-4.1.1.rc0-sage.math.washington.edu-x86_64-Linux.tar.gz

and the upgrade path is

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mvngu/release/sage-4.1.1.rc0/

I reverted the patches at #4460 and #5653 which was causing repository
corruption in the previous alpha 1 release. So #4460 and #5653 are now
merged in Sage 4.1.1.rc0, not 4.1.1.alpha1. So far, I have had at
least two repository corruption issues due to the file
SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage-main/MANIFEST.in not being updated accordingly by
patches that introduce new files into the Sage library. Robert Miller
has written a note about preventing such issues on the wiki page about
release management:

This wiki page has been organically growing as people record tips,
issues and checklist items relevant to Sage release management. Feel
free to flesh out that page.

Sage 4.1.1.rc0 is a bug fix only release. One of the major bug fixes
is to get NumPy and Sage to talk to each other better via tickets
#5081 and #6506. People have been reporting issues like this in the
sage-devel and sage-support mailing lists. Now is the time to try this
out and stress test how well Sage and NumPy communicate with each
other.

The 4.1.1 release cycle is now strictly in feature-freeze, bug-fix
only mode. The following tickets were merged in Sage 4.1.1.rc0:
