Hi folks,

This is the first release of the Sage 4.1.1 release cycle. William and
I are co-chairing this release cycle. The source tarball and the
sage.math only binary are available at

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mvngu/release/sage-4.1.1.alpha0.tar
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mvngu/release/sage-4.1.1.alpha0-sage.math.washington.edu-x86_64-Linux.tar.gz

You can also upgrade using this path:

The lowest ticket number winner is #111, which was closed due to the
work of Alex Ghitza and David Loeffler.

This alpha 0 release includes 5 tickets relating to new SPKG's:

#6380 [ntl-5.4.2.p9.spkg]
#6443 [zn_poly-0.9.p1.spkg]
#6445 [pari-2.3.3.p1.spkg]
#6451 [flint-1.3.0.p2.spkg]
#6493 [numpy-1.3.0.p1.spkg]

All of these tickets, except for #6493, deal with building the
corresponding SPKG's on Solaris on the machine t2. This Solaris build
support is due to the remarkable work of David Kirkby. If you want to
help out with building SPKG's on Solaris/t2, the following tickets
need review:

#6453
#6558

Also, ticket #5873 is a step closer to a full FreeBSD support. It is
in need of review.

We merged 4 tickets relating to the script repository:

#6511
#6518
#6364
#6499

Previously, the merge script would fail when one does

./sage -merge <ticket-number>

This was due to a typo in the merge script, which has been fixed by
#6511. There are currently two tickets dealing with the script
repository: #6378 and #6505. These two need reviewers.

As always, feel free to review a ticket or two on trac.

As Robert Miller and Tom Boothby mentioned in the release note of Sage
4.1.alpha0 at

http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/c15b5f57e380cc19/ba834f1e6a4cafd1

there are some ways to make it easier for your patches to get merged:

* Please include the trac number in each commit message if possible.
* Please make sure that your username is in your patch(es).
* Please make sure "Author(s)" and "Reviewer(s)" fields are set when changing
the ticket status to "positive review." Since these are used in
generating release notes, using full names would make it easier to
properly credit your contributions.
* Please adhere to the "trac_####-description.patch" file name format
when creating patch files.
