Hi all, Some issues were reported with the SymPy 1.13.0rc1 release candidate. Since then I pushed 1.13.0rc2 and 1.13.0rc3 and I'm about to push 1.13.0rc4. Thanks to everyone who tested the release candidate and reported any problems.
I think this is a list of issues and PRs that have been included (or will be in rc4): https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues/26731 https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues/26688 https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues/26690 https://github.com/sympy/sympy/pull/26627 https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues/26692 There is one outstanding thing that I would like to resolve before the final release which is the handling of the python-flint version. Currently the situation with rc3 is that if you install python-flint 0.6.0 or hypothetically in future 0.6.1, 0.6.2, etc then when you import sympy it will automatically use python-flint. If you have a newer version of python-flint like 0.7.0 (which does not exist yet) or an older version like 0.5.0 then it will print a warning and default to not using python-flint (falling back on gmpy2 or just on using Python types). This warning looks like: >>> import sympy ~/sympy/sympy/external/gmpy.py:126: UserWarning: python-flint 0.5.0 is installed but only version 0.6.* will be used by default. Falling back to other ground types. Use SYMPY_GROUND_TYPES=flint to force the use of python-flint. warn(f"python-flint {_flint_version} is installed but only version " The reason for not using python-flint 0.5.0 is that SymPy 1.13 uses some features that were added in 0.6.0. The reason for not using python-flint 0.7.0 is that hypothetically future releases of python-flint might make significant changes making them not as fully compatible with SymPy 1.13. This is only a hypothetical though and there are not any plans for python-flint to break in a backwards compatible way. There are two questions here: 1. Should SymPy 1.13 just use newer versions of python-flint anyway? 2. If not, should SymPy warn about newer versions of python-flint? I think that the answer to the warning question is that no there should be no warning. These warnings end up being annoying for downstream people who don't really care. That might mean that in future some people are surprised by the fact that they have python-flint installed but SymPy does not use it. I think that is better than annoying other people with the warning. For the question about using newer versions of python-flint I think that at least SymPy 1.13 should be able to use a few future versions of python-flint but I am not sure what is a reasonable future range of versions. Possibly SymPy could use any python-flint >= 0.6.0, < 1.0 meaning that python-flint should not break any compatibility for SymPy until it reaches version 1.0. We would need something somewhere to test new versions of python-flint against potentially old versions of SymPy though. I could add something in python-flint's CI to make sure that it tests all changes against SymPy 1.13. I think my preference is: 1. Use python-flint >= 0.6.0, < 1.0 automatically. 2. Don't use python-flint < 0.5.0 or >= 1.0 and don't give any warning about it. 3. Unless the SYMPY_GROUND_TYPES=flint variable is set in which case use python-flint regardless of the version. 4. Keep future versions of python-flint compatible with SymPy 1.13 until python-flint 1.0. 5. Once SymPy 1.13 is released add a job in python-flint CI to test against SymPy 1.13. Does anyone have any views on this? As far as I know this is the only outstanding item before final release. -- Oscar On Sat, 8 Jun 2024 at 08:34, Aaron Meurer <asmeu...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Another important change in this release is that Rational (and > Integer) and Float objects no longer compare equal to one another with > ==. > > Previously: > > >>> Integer(1) == Float(1.0) > True > >>> Rational(1, 2) == Float(0.5) > True > > Now: > > >>> Integer(1) == Float(1.0) > False > >>> Rational(1, 2) == Float(0.5) > False > > This was previously applied inconsistently.
