This makes me very, very nervous.  Why the rush?  I thought your other 
idea of keeping the current notebook for 4.1.2, but including this 
notebook, and asking lots of people to try this out, was a much better 
and safer alternative.

How about making it so that notebook(new=True) gives the new notebook, 
but otherwise gives the old notebook, just for 4.1.2?  That will give 
many more people a chance to try it out and report bugs.

For example, here's another bug:

Copy your "a random test worksheet full of stuff".

Go to "Data|foo.txt"

Change the text

Click "Save Changes"

An error page appears.


It's these corner cases that I think are just going to take time and 
lots of people to track down.  Pushing this in at this point I think is 
premature, given how much people rely on the notebook as their single 
gateway to Sage.

When is the release date for 4.1.2?

Thanks,

Jason
