ANN: mpmath 0.12 released
Fredrik Johansson
Mpmath version 0.12 is now available from the website:
http://code.google.com/p/mpmath/
It can also be downloaded from the Python Package Index:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mpmath/0.12
Mpmath is a pure-Python library for arbitrary-precision floating-point
arithmetic that implements an extensive set of mathematical functions.
It can be used as a standalone library or via SymPy
(http://code.google.com/p/sympy/).
Version 0.12 mostly contains bug fixes and speed improvements. New features
include various special functions from analytic number theory, Newton's method
as an option for root-finding, and more versatile printing of intervals. It is
now also possible to create multiple working contexts each with its
own precision.
Finally, mpmath now recognizes being installed in Sage and will automatically
wrap Sage's fast integer arithmetic if available.
For more details, see the changelog:

community repository.
The packages can be downloaded and installed manually or with the YAST
tool.
For help on the installation, see the mpmath documentation:

The repository URLs for the different OpenSUSE versions are:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/science/openSUSE_10.3/
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/science/openSUSE_11.0/
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/science/openSUSE_11.1/

Thanks!
In the documentation, wouldn't it be better to link to
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/science/? That way the link
version shouldn't get out of date.

unfortunately, you have to enter (or copy) the URL *including the
version part* into the YAST tool, otherwise it will complain and users
will be confused.
So let's just write something like:
Look up http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/science/ for a list
of supported OpenSUSE versions and use http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/science/openSUSE_11.1/
(or accordingly for your OpenSUSE version) as the repository URL for
YAST.
(If you're wondering: The updated files do not yet show up in the
repos but should do so in a few minutes.)

That'll do. I updated the trunk documentation source (might take a few
days until I rebuild it for the website):
