News from SageMath, the Sage Mathematics Software System!

Sage 8.0 was released on 2017-07-21.

The compiled version for most operating systems (as well as the

source files if you prefer to compile Sage yourself) should be

available on our download mirrors worldwide:

(We send the announcement a few days after the release so that

most versions will have made their way to the download mirrors.)

A SageMath installer for Windows will be made available shortly

(an announcement will be sent to sage-announce).

SageMath, also known as Sage (website: http://sagemath.org/),
