For details see http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/milestone/sage-4.1.1 or check out the closed ticket section at the end of the announcement. * Upcoming Release The upcoming release is Sage 4.1.2. This will be a bug-fix release. We also intend to merge as many features as possible. * Doctesting Coverage Ticket #877 changes the way the docstring coverage is counted. Previously, the docstring coverage script also counted functions that are local to other functions. In this manner, the docstring coverage for Sage 4.1 is: Overall weighted coverage score: 77.8% Total number of functions: 22398 With ticket #877, nested functions or functions local to other functions are no longer counted towards the docstring coverage. This results in a reduced number of functions, hence we have the following statistics as a result of #877: Overall weighted coverage score: 78.3% Total number of functions: 22210 Using the docstring coverage technique from ticket #877, in 4.1.1 we increased coverage by 0.3%, while adding 120 functions: Overall weighted coverage score: 78.6% Total number of functions: 22330 * Known issues The standard package cliquer doesn't build under some 64-bit platforms. There are reports of cliquer failing to compile under 64-bit Fedora 10 (see ticket #6746) and 64-bit Intel Mac running OS X 10.5 (see ticket #6681). We provide the 64-bit binary sage-4.1.1-OSX10.5-intel-64bit-i386-Darwin.dmg However, users should note that the README.txt file in that binary contains a warning about cliquer. In the above binary, the cliquer import statement in sage/graphs/all.py has been commented out like so #from sage.graphs.cliquer import * as a work-around to allow Sage to start up. In the meantime, users won't have access to functionalities of the cliquer spkg until ticket #6681 has been resolved. * Closed Tickets #4614: automatically add md5sums for source tarballs to the web site #4630: bug in functions real() and imag(). #4725: bug in number field conjugate function, now dealt with #5175: pari error is thrown when computing Bessel function J0(0) #5420: imag(complex(0,1)) gives TypeError (easy) #5587: input of hexadecimal integers is corrupted #6508: make installing extcode depend on mercurial #6675: doctest failure in sage/misc/sagedoc.py Merged in Sage 4.1.1.final: #6645: Mitesh Patel: make sure bdist of sage-4.1.1 works before release [Reviewed by Minh Van Nguyen] #6684: Minh Van Nguyen: warnings when building reference manual in Sage 4.1.1.rc2 [Reviewed by John Palmieri] #6687: Minh Van Nguyen: spell-check all modules under sage/algebras [Reviewed by William Stein] #6688: Minh Van Nguyen: spell-check all modules under sage/calculus [Reviewed by Burcin Erocal] #6689: Minh Van Nguyen: spell-check all modules under sage/categories [Reviewed by William Stein] #6690: Minh Van Nguyen: spell-check all modules under sage/coding [Reviewed by William Stein] #6691: Minh Van Nguyen: spell-check all modules under sage/combinat [Reviewed by William Stein] #6692: Minh Van Nguyen: spell-check all modules under sage/crypto [Reviewed by William Stein] #6693: Minh Van Nguyen: spell-check all modules under sage/databases [Reviewed by William Stein] #6695: Minh Van Nguyen: spell-check all modules under sage/ext [Reviewed by William Stein] #6696: Minh Van Nguyen: spell-check all modules under sage/finance [Reviewed by William Stein] #6697: Minh Van Nguyen: spell-check all modules under sage/functions [Reviewed by William Stein] #6698: Minh Van Nguyen: spell-check all modules under sage/games [Reviewed by William Stein] #6700: Minh Van Nguyen: spell-check all modules under sage/geometry [Reviewed by William Stein] #6704: Minh Van Nguyen: spell-check all modules under sage/graphs [Reviewed by William Stein] #6708: Minh Van Nguyen: spell-check all modules under sage/groups [Reviewed by William Stein] #6711: Minh Van Nguyen: spell-check all modules under sage/gsl [Reviewed by William Stein] #6712: Minh Van Nguyen: spell-check all modules under sage/interfaces [Reviewed by William Stein] #6713: Minh Van Nguyen: spell-check all modules under sage/lfunctions [Reviewed by William Stein] #6714: Minh Van Nguyen: spell-check all modules under sage/libs [Reviewed by Harald Schilly] #6715: Minh Van Nguyen: spell-check all modules under sage/logic [Reviewed by Harald Schilly] #6717: Burcin Erocal: Sage 4.1.1.rc2: doctest failures in sage/symbolic/expression.pyx [Reviewed by Georg S.
