The newest release of Sage is now out. See this announcement for full details, including a list of tickets closed.

There's one improvement I'm particularly happy about: Dima Pasechnik upgraded the version of GAP included in Sage to the latest upstream, namely 4.4.12. The previous version (4.4.10) was seriously outdated and had several known issues.

Thanks to Dima for the work in upgrading the spkg, and to David Joyner, William Stein, Minh Van Nguyen, and Robert Bradshaw for reviewing the various tickets involved in this upgrade.
