Hello folks, this is alpha1 and it contains a whole lot of notebook improvements by Timothy, Cyclotomic field fixes by Craig, the new pyprocessing code, various spkg updates and a whole lot more. It also has some small fixes for modular symbol pickling, but there should be much more code coming i

I have noticed some weird behavior on FF that might be the same problem. I have a very large cell that I don't want to split up because its all cython (I suppose that's a bad idea for other reasons), and I am beginning to see some problems with that worksheet - cells not formatted right, text not

I think having a "support" button that is linked to sage-support is an excellent idea. Watching my students use Sage, all they ever see is the notebook. If its not there, it doesn't exist for them. Most of them don't even click on "help", they bug my TA or me about things. Actually, the "help"

1) and 4) - agreed, absolutely. 2) and 3) are good but miss my point - to make it one click from the notebook to (for instance) the sage-support/post page, where of course you would have to acquire a login. But maybe it is already pretty clear what to do from the notebook help functionality? I've

Hi, I cannot figure out how to force sage to construct a ring as a multivariate ring with only a single generator. In the past, I used MPolynomialRing to force multi-variate implementation, but that is now deprecated. Specifically, the output below really bugs me. I had code relying on featu
