Sage 5.6 released

One of the recent ideas I've been playing with is a dedicated (mobile) device for Sage (or some other maths software). Essentially an overpowered "calculator". Main differentiating factor compared to running some app on a smartphone would be a good physical keypad. That would both make input easier and free up lots of screen estate. Being a special purpose device it could be even accepted for tests and that way break into the educational market currently dominated by TI and their 20 year old designs.<p>With all the recent trends around hardware tinkering, such as 3D-printing and cheap ARM-boards, I don't think such project would be entirely infeasible, or even overly expensive.

Does anyone know if there is a summary big-changes release notes anywhere? I'm a huge fan of sage, but I'm sad that I can't easily follow its development without sifting through the minutiae of all the "made XYZ hashable" (etc) tickets.

Again, I'd like to say, AXIOM is the most powerful Computer Algebra System. Its powerful, rich, strong and dynamic type system allows using type deduction to "prove" (Curry–Howard correspondence). For example, by its implementation of Risch algorithm, it can prove integrate(sin(cos(x)),x) has no elementary expression. And it can deal with almost any indefinite integral. try this on other CAS: integrate(1/(x^3<i>(a+b</i>x)^(1/3)),x) (there is a lot more...)
