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.

See the release notes for the full list of changes.
