Hi Sage Developers, I'm setting the Sage-5.0 target date for August 31, 2010 (see http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/milestone/sage-5.0). The goals are:
1. Windows port via Cygwin: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/wiki/CygwinPort 2. Upgrade PARI to svn: #9343 3. Upgrade MPIR to version 2.x: #8664 4. Raise the coverage score to 90% 5. (Done) Sparc Solaris 10 What follows is a brief discussion of the status of each of these. 1. Windows port via Cygwin: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/wiki/CygwinPort There is still some work to do on this. See the 13 tickets I opened at http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/wiki/CygwinPort So far, Mike Hansen has done an amazing job on this (I've helped some too). We could really, really use help here, especially because this work can go on independently of other things. This document explains a lot about cygwin: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ 2. Upgrade PARI to svn: #9343 Robert Bradshaw, John Cremona and I did a huge chunk of this two weeks ago, and John also did a bunch more yesterday. What remains is just resolving a few doctest failures, some of which might be subtle. 3. Upgrade MPIR to version 2.x: #8664 Nobody has done anything on this for two months. Anybody could work on this. It's very easy -- just make an spkg, then test the sage build and report issues. Pretty straightforward for almost anybody to do. 4. Raise the coverage score to 90% If you delete the devel/sage/sage/server directory, then Sage-4.5.rc0 has this coverage score: Overall weighted coverage score: 84.6% So we have barely even budged in a while. That said, I suspect there are a lot of doctest patches that just need review or have positive reviewed, but need to get merged into sage-4.5.rc0. 5. (Done) Sparc Solaris 10 This is done. ---- (Note: the above are the Sage-5.0 goals. This is not negotiable.
