* Major Features, New Spkgs and Bugfixes
Singular was updated to the latest 3-0-4 release. But neither PolyBoRi
nor ATLAS made it into the final release. But the vast majority of the
prep work needed to make ATLAS a standard spkg was finally done in
this release cycle. PolyBoRi will probably become an optional spkg
first until all the details have been worked out.

* Known Issues with 2.8.15
- FLINT might misbuild due to missing Python
* Upcoming Releases
Sage 2.9 is planned for the end of this week. Proposed major features
are:
- R
- ATLAS BLAS/Lapack
- FLINT 1.0
* Coverage
For 2.8.15:
Overall weighted coverage score: 34.8%
Total number of functions: 17743
Compared to 2.8.13 this is an increase by 0.4%.
* About Sage (http://www.sagemath.org)
Sage is developed by volunteers and combines 71 open source packages.
It is available for download from sagemath.org and its mirrors in
source or binary form. If you have any questions and/or problems
please report them to the google groups sage-devel, sage-support,
