As always, you can get the latest beta version from the "develop" git branch. Alternatively, the self-contained source tarball is at http://www.sagemath.org/download-latest.html

Built from the tarball, successfully, on two OS X systems, 10.6.8 (Dual 6-core Xeons) and 10.10.5 (Quad-core Core i7), and all tests ('ptestlong') passed on both systems!

All tests passed with "make ptestlong" and cloned freshly on Linux Mint
17.2.

[kcrisman]

Two optional tests fails (perhaps this is already known):

this was a result of
b2094a8a (Jeroen Demeyer     2015-11-18 15:53:34 +0100 1402)

which did change
 
       description = G._gap_().StructureDescription().__str__()

to

       description = str(G._gap_().StructureDescription())

but these calls are not 100% the same:

sage: groups.matrix.GL(4,2).structure_description()
'"A8"'
sage: groups.matrix.GL(4,2)._gap_().StructureDescription().__str__()
'A8'

I.e. str() does not strip extra '', for some reason...

I don't see why, and I don't understand the root cause of this.

Confirmed, but surprising. I always thought that str(X) would call
X.__str__()...

[Dima Pasechnik]

apparently it calls __repr__()

sage: groups.matrix.GL(4,2)._gap_().StructureDescription().__repr__()
'"A8"'
 

[Sébastien Labbé]

Similarly,

sage: len(str('a'))
1
sage: len(repr('a'))
3

[Dima Pasechnik]

this is OK, but with some Cython objects things go wrong, see #19733.
