Sage 2.10.alpha4 released

[mabshoff]

Hi,

Sage 10.2.alpha4 is out. This is mostly fixes all over the
map, the big spkg update push didn't happen since I got
distracted by real world issues for some part of the day.
This release is the basis for tomorrow's Doc Day 1, so I
figured it is a good thing to release so that people can
build over night.

Tarball [200MB] is the usual place at

Cheers,

Michael

Known Problems:

#1744: FLINT 1.05 "make check" failure on Linux/Itanium with
gcc 4.2.2 [tracked down to a gcc issue on that platform]
#1485: David Joyner, Simon King: wrapper for invariant_ring and
invariant_algebra_reynolds in Singular: this caused
doctest hangs in plot/plot3d/transform.pyx which went
away when testing that file with the verbose flag. So I
reverted the patch and reopened the ticket until somebody
can sort this out. Looking at the patch it is unclear
to me why this would cause trouble.

Built fine, and all tests passed on my G4 (PPC) OS 10.4.11 laptop. I
am now adding some optional packages to make sure they are OK.
