Sage 9.4 Release Tour
current development cycle (2021)
Contents
Goals and tickets
- Add support for Python 3.10
- Add support for gcc 11
- Add support for macOS Big Sur that does not depend on homebrew's gcc@10
- packages upgrades
- https://repology.org/projects/?inrepo=sagemath_develop - many upgrades enabled by dropping support for Python 3.6
- Drop support for optional packages with system gcc 4.x
Configuration changes
Drop support for system Python 3.6 (deprecated in Sage 9.3). #30551
- It is still possible to build the Sage distribution on systems with old Python versions, but Sage will build its own copy of Python 3.9.x in this case.
