Hello folks here we go with 3.0.alpha5. So, that happened to 3.0.alpha4? It was never announced in public since it was a snapshot I initially considered potentially unstable, but that didn't happen. We have closed a total of *221* tickets so far. This alpha should build and doctest without any significant problems [famous last words]. All the mysterious segfaults at exit should be fixed. Besides numerous fixes to padics and the notebook there were also a boat load of other fixes. The most visible change to users should be the gcc 4.3 support out of the box. This release has been build tested on x86-64 Arch Linux. The only thing needed is to use the system's Fortran compiler by setting SAGE_FORTRAN and SAGE_FORTRAN_LIB - see the README.txt. The list of blockers has gotten much shorter and we should start winding things down for the final 3.0 release. On the list of goals we still need 64 bit OSX support which is doable and the merge of the benchmarking code. Stay tuned for the next alpha coming soon ;)

Getting this spkg is essential for the 64 bit OSX port] * #2592: NTL abort in Integers(125)[] * #2877: security risk -- several constructors use eval to parse input Memory leaks: * _fast_eval * PolyBoRi * latin squares Merged in alpha5: #449: Michael Abshoff: lcalc Solaris build fixes #848: Alex Ghitza: Using strings for infinity in GSL #1626: Michael Abshoff: update lcalc to 20080205, add gcc 4.3 support #1763: Alex Ghitza, Didier Deshommes: implement norms for matrices #1766: Dan Drake, Harald Schilly, Mike Hansen: enhancing latex embedding with plots #2195: Willem Jan Palenstijn: odd Givaro-related crash in finite fields #2219: Alex Ghitza: docs for root_field should say the polynomial needs to be irreducible #2347: Robert Bradshaw: better parsing for symbolics #2616: Didier Deshommes: Replace all matrix.submatrix() instances #2704: Martin Albrecht: bug in lcm(a,b) for a,b polynomials in QQ[] if a is constant #2850: Chris Swierczewski: Docstrings and doctests for permgroup.py #2851: William Stein: clean binary install of sage followed by "sage -br" is broken #2857: Didier Deshommes: numerical_approx for matrices #2875: William Stein: notebook -- save_session is completely broken in the notebook #2879: John Voight: Bug fix in totallyreal_rel #2880: John Cremona: Special code for elliptic curve cardinality for j=0 and j=1728 #2901: William Stein: rewrite load_session and save_session to use much better modern techniques (in particular merge the notebook and non-notebook implementations) #2904: Didier Deshommes: sage/matrix/matrix_misc.py has no copyright info #2905: Gary Furnish: Various speedups #2911: Michael Abshoff: Use "$@" instead of "$*" in sage-* local/bin #2912: Martin Albrecht: M4RI should be built with -O3 #2913: William Stein: notebook -- deleting a running cell results in a bug #2914: William Stein: integers are immutable but set_str breaks that; having this function is a *major* bug. #2915: Mike Hansen, William Stein: bug in symbolic integration or "stupid bug in the sage/maxima interface"?
