Hello folks, Sage 3.0.4.alpha2 is finally out and we are hoping it will actually build this time. Much work went into making it start up more quickly due to some script written by Andrew Dalke that analyzes import time at startup. We also merged a patch set by William Stein that should make a huge difference when running notebook servers since the save function there has been rewritten. On sagenb.org saving the notebook (which happened every five minutes or so) dropped from nearly four minutes to seven seconds. As you can guess that makes a difference. Besides that various upgrades and bug fixes, the 3.0.4 release tour should contain more info.
3.0.4.alpha2 sources can be found in the usual place in http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mabshoff/release-cycles-3.0.4/sage-3.0.4.alpha2.tar There will be a sage.math only binary shortly. We now really want to push the 3.0.4 release out, so if you have anything it is likely too late, but 3.0.5 is coming :) Cheers, Michael Reminder: jsmath has been updated, so make sure to test the notebook New people: * Igor Tolkov - work on @interact * Andrew Dalke - import time script * Bin Zhang - ATLAS G4 build fix Needs to be in/resolved: * timeit code Testing: #3519: Michael Abshoff: Update clisp to 2.46 release - merged, but odd problems on OSX 10.4 PPC with Sage 2.11 Merged in Sage 3.0.4.alpha2: #2357: Burcin Erocal, Carl Witty, Craig Citro: make FLINT the default for ZZ['x'] [Reviewed by Craig Citro, William Stein] #3283: Martin Albrecht, Burcin Erocal: fix some memholes in PolyBoRi interface [Reviewed by Burcin Erocal, Martin Albrecht] #3356: William Stein, Chris Swierczewski, Josh Kantor: finance -- add randomization code;
