I just wanted to send out a reminder that we'd like to get SymPy 1.0 released soon. Aaron has been doing the most work wrt to this and we have lots of new contributors looking for things to do. When looking for something to solve, start here:

https://github.com/sympy/sympy/milestones/1.0

and see if you can help with one of the blocking issues.

0.7.6 came out over a year ago and we have tons of bug fixes and new features to introduce!

Thanks,

Aaron Meurer

Another thing people can do to help out is to update the release notes
on the wiki (anyone should be able to edit it).

What about a fast release of an intermediate version (for example 0.7.7), given that all issues for 1.0 are taking time?

At this point there are already enough breaking (or at least major)
changes merged in, that it would be more work to try to "undo" them
for 0.7.7.

The remaining issues for 1.0 aren't a huge deal. It's just that no
one's been working on them (including me for the past couple of
months).

Is there a summary of breaking and major changes in sympy 1.0 somewhere?

At the top of the release notes
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/Release-Notes-for-1.0 (but it
might not be completely up-to-date yet).

Most of it has to do with the new assumptions system. Also solve is
going to be replaced with solveset.

We also try to deprecate things when possible, so if you have code you
are worried about you can run it against sympy master and see if any
deprecation warnings are emitted (SymPy deprecation warnings, unlike
normal deprecation warnings, are always shown).
