Hi folks, This is the first alpha release of Sage 4.3.2, whose final release is planned to be out a few days before Sage Days 20. Many of the tickets closed in this alpha0 release is due to the hard work of participants at Sage Days 19. Thanks, guys! One notable feature is an upgrade to R 2.10.1, and in the process, fixing various R-related tickets.
The source tarball is at http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mvngu/sage-src/sage-4.3.2.alpha0.tar The sage.math binary is available at http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mvngu/sage.math-bin/sage-4.3.2.alpha0-sage.math.washington.edu-x86_64-Linux.tar.gz And the upgrade path is http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mvngu/release/upgrade/sage-4.3.2.alpha0/ The pyprocessing spkg is planned to be removed in Sage 4.3.2 (see ticket #6503). Burcin has fixed a number of tickets relating to symbolics that now need some review; see #6559 for the order in which to apply patches. Some tickets planned for alpha1 are: * #6503 --- remove the pyprocessing package from the standard spkg repository * #7617 --- including SageTeX as a standard spkg * #8052 --- updating the prereq configuration scripts to version 0.7 * #8076 --- upgrade GAP to version 4.4.12 Ticket #6625 automatically removes executable bits from some text files under the script repository. Once I built Sage 4.3.2.alpha0 from source, Mercurial complains about uncommitted changes to those text files: [mv...@sage bin]$ pwd /dev/shm/mvngu/sage-4.3.2.alpha0/local/bin [mv...@sage bin]$ hg st M sage-banner M sage-gdb-commands M sage-maxima.lisp M sage-verify-pyc ? cdd_both_reps ? cdd_both_reps_gmp [mv...@sage bin]$ ls -gh sage-banner sage-gdb-commands sage-maxima.lisp sage-verify-pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 mvngu 639 2010-01-26 12:07 sage-banner -rw-r--r-- 1 mvngu 2 2010-01-26 12:07 sage-gdb-commands -rw-r--r-- 1 mvngu 121 2010-01-26 12:07 sage-maxima.lisp -rw-r--r-- 1 mvngu 62 2010-01-26 12:07 sage-verify-pyc Notice that the text files in question should not have their executable bits turned on. One way to fix this is to check in changes to those text files in this alpha0 release and test to see whether or not the alpha1 release has fixed this problem once and for all. Actually, in alpha0 the contents of those files haven't changed; only their executable bits have been removed. Also notice two suspicious binary files in the above "hg status" report: [mv...@sage bin]$ file cdd_both_reps cdd_both_reps_gmp cdd_both_reps: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, not stripped cdd_both_reps_gmp: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, not stripped They were not there under SAGE_LOCAL/bin in Sage 4.3.1 and I don't know where they come from. I'm investigating this issue and see if these suspicious files can be removed.
