This release is almost the same as sage-2.9.2, but has a few minor build fixes and one memory leak fix. Also I stripped out two nontrivial pre-compiled Java programs (surfex in Singular and Java3d) that had snuck in. ----- Hello folks, Sage 2.9.2 has been released. It is available at http://sagemath.org/download.html The following people contributed to this release: * Michael Abshoff * Francois Bissey * Tom Boothby * Robert Bradshaw * Burcin Erocal * David Harvey * Josh Kantor * Willem Jan Palenstijn * R. Rishikesh * William Stein Cheers, Michael Abshoff (release chair), William Stein * Major Features, New Spkgs and Bugfixes The 2.9.2 release was mostly a bug fix release, specifically aimed at the AMS meeting in San Diego. The main new features are * Much, much improved 3D plots by the integration of jmol (this involved substantial new code by Robert Bradshaw and William Stein) * Many build fixes and build improvements We closed 33 tickets, mostly because we were very, very conservative for this release.

Feeback: Jaap Spies, apologies to anybody I forgot. * Known Issues with 2.9.2 #1497: ATLAS can fail to build on multi core Linux boxen when power management is activated. This is a known ATLAS issue with workaround: disable power management * Upcoming Releases The next release will be 2.10, chaired by Michael Abshoff. The release should happen in about a week from the release of 2.9.2. Planned features are: * Update a lot of spkgs to the current release * Solaris 10 support in 32 bit mode on Opteron/x86 * FreeBSD support out of the box * Doctesting Coverage For 2.9.2: Overall weighted coverage score: 35.2% Total number of functions: 18100 Compared to 2.9.1.1 this is a decrease by 0.1%. * About Sage (http://www.sagemath.org) Sage is developed by volunteers and combines 71 open source packages.
