Perry @ Sage Days 12

Bugs

• Bug 1396 Ideal.groebner_basis should accept keyword arguments for strategy parameters In any sane, just, and sinless universe the patch submitted would work. Sadly, a serious bug in the interface between Sage and Singular prevents it from working, so I passed it back to Martin.

• Bug 2159 Gröbner bases over any field (cont'd) Patch submitted for one of the functions that didn't work properly (dimension). Recommended creating a new ticket for the other (variety).

• Bug 5056 rename Ideal.reduced_basis to Ideal.interreduced_basis This ticket was created for the express purpose of accomodating people who don't read (i.e. me). Patch submitted and accepted.

• added some doctests to sage.rings.polynomial.multi_polynomial_ideal

Misc
