John Palmieri, Carl Witty: a method to test whether a polynomial is square over the field it is defined. If the polynomial is square, then the method has the option of returning a square root.

Sage 3.2.1 Release Tour

Sage 3.2.1 was released on December FIXME, 2008. For the official, comprehensive release notes, see sage-3.2.1.txt.

Algebra

Robert Bradshaw: a much simpler and faster algorithm for the divisors function over integers. The new optimized code is faster than a similar integer divisor function in the version of PARI/GP that's bundled with Sage 3.2.1, as well as outperforming a similar integer divisor function found in the version of Magma that Sage 3.2.1 interfaces with.

John Palmieri: a few methods for finite field elements including additive order, p-th power, and p-th root where p is the characteristic of the field.

Basic arithmetic

Burcin Erocal: improving the user interface of polynomial classes.
