This is the first release of the new cycle, and I've agreed to step in
and co-chair the release with Tom. The source tarball and sage.math
binary are available:

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/rlmill/release/sage-4.1.alpha0.tar
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/rlmill/release/sage-4.1.alpha0-sage.math-only-x86_64-Linux.tar.gz

This is the first development release in which the new merge tools
were used by people other than the authors. Several doctests fail on
sage.math:

        sage -t  devel/sage-main/sage/graphs/graph.py # 25 doctests
failed
        sage -t  devel/sage-main/sage/databases/database.py # 20
doctests failed
        sage -t  devel/sage-main/sage/geometry/polyhedra.py # 1
doctests failed

These are all due to the removal of graph_isom.pyx, and I will be
posting a patch to fix this shortly, at #6394. I think that there was
no way to avoid these failures, since the only way to expose them was
to remove the code, rebuild entirely from scratch, and then run the
tests.

This release does not include any tickets involving spkg's. I will
make this the main focus of alpha1, which should drop before Friday.

Each of the following tickets were rejected by the merge scripts, but
unfortunately the failures are not available at this time (this is due
to human error on my part). If you are involved with one of them, you
are encouraged to try applying the patches to 4.1.alpha0 and see why/
if they failed. Tom and I will eventually do this, but it would be
helpful for people involved in the ticket to get things started:

6196
5481
6276
4712
5517
5991
6164
6200
5902
6269

Other easy ways to save release managers time, resulting in more
frequent releases and shorter wait times to get your code merged:

* Please include the trac number in each commit message if possible.
* Please make sure Author and Reviewer fields are set, when changing
the ticket status to "positive review." Since these are used in
generating release notes, please use full names.
* Please adhere to the "trac_####-description.patch" filename format
when creating patch files.

Cheers,

Robert Miller (and Tom Boothby)
