= Sage 4.0 Release Tour =

Sage 4.0 was released on FIXME. For the official, comprehensive release note, please refer to [[http://www.sagemath.org/src/announce/sage-4.0.txt|sage-4.0.txt]]. A nicely formatted version of this release tour can be found at FIXME. The following points are some of the foci of this release:

 *


== Algebra ==


 * Deprecate the {{{order()}}} method on elements of rings (John Palmieri) -- The method {{{order()}}} of the class {{{sage.structure.element.RingElement}}} is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. For additive or multiplicative order, use the {{{additive_order}}} or {{{multiplicative_order}}} method respectively.


== Algebraic Geometry ==


 * Various invariants for genus 2 hyperelliptic curves (Nick Alexander) -- The following invariants for genus 2 hyperelliptic curves are implemented in the module {{{sage/schemes/hyperelliptic_curves/hyperelliptic_g2_generic.py}}}:
  * the Clebsch invariants
  * the Igusa-Clebsch invariants
  * the absolute Igusa invariants

== Graph Theory ==


 * Graph colouring (Robert Miller) -- New method {{{coloring()}}} of the class {{{sage.graphs.graph.Graph}}} for obtaining the first (optimal) coloring found on a graph. Here are some examples on using this new method:
 {{{
sage: G = Graph("Fooba")
sage: P = G.coloring()
sage: G.plot(partition=P)
sage: H = G.coloring(hex_colors=True)
sage: G.plot(vertex_colors=H)
 }}}

 * FIXME: summarize #5664

 * FIXME: summarize #5844


== Interfaces ==


 * Viewing Sage objects with a PDF viewer (Nicolas Thiery) -- Implements the option {{{viewer="pdf"}}} for the command {{{view()}}} so that one can invoke this command in the form {{{view(object, viewer="pdf")}}} in order to view {{{object}}} using a PDF viewer. Typical uses of this new optional argument include:
  * You prefer to use a PDF viewer rather than a DVI viewer.
  * You want to view LaTeX snippets which are not displayed well in DVI viewers (e.g. graphics produced using tikzpicture).


 * Change name of Pari's {{{sum}}} function when imported (Craig Citro) -- When Pari's {{{sum}}} function is imported, it is renamed to {{{pari_sum}}} in order to avoid conflict Python's {{{sum}}} function.


== Linear Algebra ==

 * FIXME: summarize #5974

 * FIXME: summarize #5557

 * FIXME: summarize #5381


== Miscellaneous ==


 * Allow use of {{{pdflatex}}} instead of {{{latex}}} (John Palmieri) -- One can now use {{{pdflatex}}} instead of {{{latex}}} in two different ways:
  * Use a {{{%pdflatex}}} cell in a notebook; or
  * Call {{{latex.pdflatex(True)}}}
 after which any use of {{{latex}}} (in a {{{%latex}}} cell or using the {{{view}}} command) will use {{{pdflatex}}}. One visually appealing aspect of this is that if you have the most recent version of [[http://pgf.sourceforge.net|pgf]] installed, as well as the {{{tkz-graph}}} package, you can produce images like the following:

 * Random simplicial complexes (John Palmieri) -- New method {{{RandomComplex()}}} in the module {{{sage/homology/examples.py}}} for producing a random {{{d}}}-dimensional simplicial complex on {{{n}}} vertices. Here's an example:
 {{{
sage: simplicial_complexes.RandomComplex(6,12)
Simplicial complex with vertex set (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) and facets {(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)}
 }}}
