Many patches needing review at http://wiki.sagemath.org/devel/LatexToWorksheet

IPython activity

PEOPLE: Fernando Perez, Min Ragan-Kelley, Thomas Kluyver

• SQLite based history (Pull request)

matplotlib activity

PEOPLE: Michael Droettboom

• Fix memory leaks in Nose so that matplotlib's unit tests can be run on modest hardware with Python 3.x

• See status of matplotlib on Python 3.x here https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib-py3/wiki
