Bug Day 7 Wrap Up, Sage 2.9.rc0 Released

Bug Day 7 turned into a 23 hour coding session for some of us. So I am quite tired and don't really up to remember all the details. We merged a lot of tickets, I will write a proper summary for 2.9.rc1 or 2.9.final. I would like to thank everybody who participated in Bug Day 7. The 185 MB tarball is at

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mabshoff/sage-2.9.rc0.tar

The release is planned in about 16 hours. So we will mostly concentrate on build and doctest fixes. 2.9.rc0 has a bunch of doctest failures related to calculus and number fields. Those will be fixed before the 2.9 final release.

The following releases are planned for the rest of the year:

• 2.9.1: chaired by Robert Miller, bug fixes, release planned about a week from now
• 2.9.2: chaired by Michael Abshoff, bug fixes, release planned about a week from now

2.9.2 will be the release we will distribute on DVD at the AMS meeting, so we are shooting hard for an excellent release.

Edit: There were some gremlins in this release which we are fixing right now. I also forgot to tag this post with Sage, so it didn't show up on Planet Sage yet.

Cheers,

Michael
