Hi, SAGE-2.8.4 -- a "mega bugfix release" (70 tickets closed since 2.8.3.6) has been released: http://sagemath.org or sage -upgrade
Binaries will come in 2-3 days. This release is another one that concentrates on fixing bugs and increasing the doctests coverage. Many people contributed and a great number of tickets were closed. Craig Citro -- fixes to build process (involving c_lib) Craig Citro -- modular forms bugfix (for projection map); added some number fields functionality, many new doctests Pablo De Napoli (refereed by Martin Albrecht) -- added minpoly for finite field elements. Robert Bradshaw (and William Stein) -- created a separate java3d spkg Mike Hansen -- lots of Bug fixes all over the place Michael Abshoff -- bug fixes, improved valgrind support, Solaris port fixes William Stein -- bug fixes and lots more doctests, added coverage flag for doctests, improvements to the build process (SCons not rebuilding issue) William Stein, Michael Abshoff, Martin Albrecht, Robert Bradshaw, Burcin Erocal, Joel B.
