 * Update the [[http://www.gnupg.org/index.en.html|libgcrypt]] spkg to {{{libgcrypt-1.4.3.p0.spkg}}} (Michael Abshoff) -- Originally based on Gnu Privacy Guard (GnuPG), libgcrypt is a general purpose library of cryptographic primitives. As such, it does not provide an implementation of any cryptographic protocols, but rather serves as a collection of cryptographic building blocks.


 * Update the [[http://www.python.org|Python]] spkg to {{{python-2.5.2.p9.spkg}}} (Michael Abshoff) -- Python is a general purpose, object oriented programming language. Together with various other open source components, Python serves as a fundamental tool that unify the components of Sage under a common interface.

Sage 3.4 Release Tour

Sage 3.4 was released on FIXME. For the official, comprehensive release note, please refer to sage-3.4.txt. The following points are some of the foci of this release:
