I had no serious problem with this on a 64 bit ubuntu machine. However, it did open up a file emacs (yeah:-), as though it was doing a hg_sage.commit(). I just got out of emacs without saving, aborting something I guess, and it continued with the upgrade. > > but this may yield your sage temporarily unusable -- if that does happen, > do email sage-support. > > If you're a beginner install from source or wait for new > binaries to be posted in a few days (or less). > > --------------- > > The following people contributed this release: > > * Michael Abshoff > * Martin Albrecht > * Robert Bradshaw > * Tom Boothby > * Ondrej Certik > * Craig Citro > * F.
