Sage 3.4.1.rc0 released

[mabshoff]

In case you hadn't noticed 3.4.1.rc0 is out. The main problem is that
it does not even build on OSX (yet) due to two trivial bugs in new
version of MPIR and FLINT. I have fixed both of them and in the
process of putting together 3.4.1.rc1 which should at least build on
all test platforms :)

All the usual bits are in the normal place, but due to the imminent
rc1 no links. There are interesting new patches in this rc0:

* latest upstream versions of MPIR and FLINT
* Pizer's algorithm for computing Brandt Modules and Brandt Matrices
* quadratic twists for p-adic L-functions
* Overconvergent modular forms for genus 0 primes
* loads of number field improvements

So overall 3.4.1 has become a feature release and is much, much more
than "just a bug fix release".

Cheers,

Michael

I'm having trouble after cloning on account of the accents on line
1212 of sage/schemes/elliptic_curves/padic_lseries.py.

The attached patch fixes this (I did not think it worth a ticket).

It's a pity this cannot be caught automatically on testing patches!

It is, and is now

http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/5692

and I gave it a positive review. Thanks.

I found and fixed the same issue last night while playing around with
3.4.1.rc1 and was surprised no one caught it.

Well, these days I tend to clone the devel tree every once in a while,
so I have caught this on occasion, but I am still surprised that it
still happens.
