I'm happy to announce that the first release candidate for the 1.2 release is ready for testing. Please download it from https://github.com/sympy/sympy/releases/tag/sympy-1.2rc1 test it. I plan to do the final release by the end of this week.
The release notes for this release are at https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/Release-Notes-for-1.2. I am still working on compiling these, but if you know of any missing changes, or changes that should be listed as highlights, feel free to edit that page. Some highlights for this release are: * Python 3.3 is no longer supported. If you require Python 3.3 support, use SymPy 1.1.1. See our [policy](https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/Python-version-support-policy) on dropping support for major Python versions. * Experimental LaTeX parsing with `sympy.parsing.latex.parse_latex()` has been added, based on the `latex2sympy` project. This requires `antlr-python-runtime` to be installed. [#13706](https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/13706) * The vector module has been improved to support orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems ([Szymon Mieszczak's GSoC project](https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/Szymon-Mieszczak,-GSoC-2017-Report,-Implementation-of-multiple-types-of-coordinate-systems-for-vectors)) * New module sympy.integrals.intpoly for integrating uni/bivariate polynomials over 2-polytopes. ([Arif Ahmed's GSoC project](https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2017-Report-Arif-Ahmed-:-Integration-over-Polytopes)) * Improvements to the code generation module. ([Björn Dahlgren's GSoC project](https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2017-Report-Bj%C3%B6rn-Dahlgren:-Improved-code-generation-facilities)) * Improvements to the group theory module. See below for more information. ([Valeriia Gladkova's GSoC project](https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2017-Report-Valeriia-Gladkova:-Group-Theory)) Other GSoC projects, [Abdullah Javed Nesar](https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2017-Report-Abdullah-Javed-Nesar:-Rule-based-Integrator), [Arif Ahmed](https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2017-Report-Arif-Ahmed-:-Integration-over-Polytopes), and [Gaurav Dhingra](https://github.com/gxyd/GSoC-2017-Report) are work in progress improvements to the `integrate` module (particularly, the new `rubi` submodule and the `risch` submodule), which are not yet visible to user-facing code.
