Sage 3.0.2.alpha1 released

Hello folks,

the 3.0.2 release cycle so far has been a little slower than usual and there are a couple contributing factors. While some of us are waiting on the coercion rewrite to progress, others had obligations with school and the end of the semester seems to have kept a lot of people busy. 3.0.2.alpha1 contains *a lot* of porting work for Cygwin and Mac OSX 64 bit. We also merged Dan's new Weyl Character implementation and the usual set of bug fixes.

Since it has been nearly two weeks it is now time to get the release out of the door. So the plan now is to get an rc0 out the door tomorrow and then do a release by Tuesday or Wednesday. We will hopefully merge some more porting fixes, i.e. there are about ten more OSX 64 bit tickets ready to be reviewed. Other than that we have 70+ tickets with patches, so there is plenty to review. Once I catch some sleep I will do another post with details.

Sources and Binaries are in the usual place:


Right now there are two notebook related doctest failures which do not have tickets yet. Please build, test and report issues you see.

Cheers,

Michael
