Hello folks,
here goes rc4, only slightly later than planned :)
Anyway, we fixed nearly every blocker and postponed the the fixing of
the failing doc doctests, i.e. #5806 for now.
Aside from that we had the update to the latest MPIR 1.1, downgrade of
GAP to 4.4.10 and the update of clisp 2.47/maxima with a special no-
readline mode. This will not fix all observed strange Maxima hangs,
but at least some of the rather strange random ones. Gentoo users
should rejoice since this clisp release should build on more Gentoo
boxen, but it is broken on SLES 10/Itanium. Since the previous clisp
release was broken on RHEL 5.2/Itanium it seems to be business as
usual. Oh well, clisp's presence in Sage should be short lived at this
stage anyway since Sage 4.0 is supposed to work on Solaris/Sparc and
that mandates the ecl switch. Couple that with pynac being default for
Symbolics and a lot of the calls to Maxima should disappear
shortly :).
Another long standing problem were some issues with ATLAS, i.e.
building on Atom would take forever (this is now fixed) and Sage
binaries would require SSE3. Now we have the infrastructure in place
to create SSE2 only binaries, but the penalty for that is a decrease
in speed for certain LA problems for example. We have not done any
benchmarking, but it would be nice to do so before release.
As usual sources, the update bits and a sage.math binary can be found
at
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mabshoff/release-cycles-3.4.1/
Please build, test and report any issues. Unless something goes
terribly wrong this should be identical with the final 3.4.1 release
aside from two tickets affecting only the -bdist code and potential
last minute doctest fixes.
Cheers,
Michael
