For details see http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/milestone/sage-4.3.2 or check out the closed ticket section at the end of the announcement. * Upcoming Release The upcoming release is Sage 4.3.3, scheduled to come out after Sage Days 20 in in Marseille, France, from February 22 to February 26, 2010. The theme of Sage Days 20 is combinatorics. For more information on Sage Days 20, see its official website http://www.lirmm.fr/arith/wiki/MathInfo2010/SageDays or the Sage wiki page http://wiki.sagemath.org/daysmarseille * Doctesting Coverage For Sage 4.3.1, we had an overall weighted doctest coverage score of 81.3%, with 24,397 functions. In Sage 4.3.2, we increased the doctest coverage by 0.2% and added 197 new functions. Thus for Sage 4.3.2 we now have * Overall weighted coverage score: 81.5% * Total number of functions: 24,594 * Known issues The upgrade of R to version 2.10.1 solves many problems relating to R optional packages. As of R 2.10.x, iconv is a prerequisite for compiling R. If your system does not have an installation of iconv, then Sage would fail to compile. The issue of iconv relating to Solaris is tracked at ticket #8191, while that relating to Cygwin is tracked at ticket #7319.
