SageMath 9.3 (Windows installer 0.6.3)

Known issues with the Sage 9.3 Windows installer

If Sage crashes on startup or when plotting or on other numerical operations, the binary distribution is not compatible with your CPU type. This is a known bug in the binary distributions that also affects the Sage 9.4 release.

See the installation guide for other ways to install Sage.

Changelog for the Windows Installer

0.6.3 (2021-08-25)

• No user-facing changes.

• Minor Makefile fixes.

• Updates to use InnoSetup 6 which is now the most current.

SageMath 9.2 (Windows installer 0.6.2)

Changelog for the Windows Installer

0.6.2 (2021-01-05)

• Reverted use of Cygwin's system package for libntl, which is not built
  to be portable enough for enough users' CPUs. Likewise reverted use of
  system libflint package which depends on NTL.

NOTE: If you haven't experienced problems with build 0.6.1 of Sage 9.2
there is no need to upgrade to this build, as the issue this fixes only
impacts some users depending on their CPU.

SageMath 9.2 (Windows installer 0.6.1)

Changelog for the Windows Installer

0.6.1 (2020-11-28)

• Updated to Python 3.7.

• Updated to Cygwin 3.1.x.

SageMath 9.1 (Windows installer 0.6.0)

0.6.0-9.1

tag for SageMath 9.1 release with v0.6.0 installer

SageMath 9.0 (Windows installer 0.6.0)

Changelog for the Windows Installer

0.6.0 (2020-02-13)

• The following optional packages, and their associated Sage extensions are
  now come pre-installed by default:

  • bliss
  • coxeter3
  • mcqd
  • primecount
  • tdlib

• Improved support for installing additional optional packages.

• Downgraded Cygwin version in order to fix an issue with running external
  Windows programs from Sage (in particular, this caused problems when
  running external LaTeX distributions (#42).

• Build system can now use a local Cygwin mirror; this can make for more
  consistent builds.

SageMath 9.0 (Windows installer 0.5.2)

Changelog for the Windows Installer

0.5.2 (2020-01-08)

• Added patch from SageMath 9.0 to builds of SageMath 8.9 to fix support for
  threejs plots in Firefox on Windows.

• Removed unneeded static libraries from the installer, reducing install
  size.

SageMath 8.9 (Windows installer 0.5.1)

0.5.1-8.9

tag for SageMath 8.9 release with v0.5.1 installer

SageMath 8.8 (Windows installer 0.5.1)

Changelog for the Windows Installer

0.5.1 (2019-07-12)

• Fixed installation path of the HTML documentation.

• Include a copy of the nano editor, for use with git.

• Fixed initialization of the .sage directory on new installs, ensuring
  that the default config files are copied to the correct locations. This
  fixes a bug with the default IPython terminal color scheme not being set
  correctly.

SageMath 8.8 (Windows installer 0.5.0)

Changelog for the Windows Installer

0.5.0 (2019-07-11)

• Debug symbols, which are not needed at runtime, are stripped from most
  binaries, resulting in a noticeably smaller install footprint. Now the
  installer and the installation itself are smaller despite packing in more
  features!

• Includes a copy of git in the SageMath Shell, so no need to install a
  separate Git or integrate an existing Git for Windows installation.

• Installing the HTML documentation is now optional. Although some help
  features won't work without it, it saves about 600 MB of installation
  size, and if you have an internet connection you can still read the docs
  at doc.sagemath.org.

• Updates to use a few more Cygwin system packages rather than including
  Sage-specific copies, including:

  • bzip2
  • libffi
  • libpng
  • patch
  • pcre
  • xz
  • yasm
  • zlib

  We still build our own copies of MPIR and anything that depends on it,
  as there are still too many bugs with the system GMP on Cygwin.

SageMath 8.7 (Windows installer 0.4.3)

Changelog for the Windows Installer

0.4.3 (2019-05-06)

• Not a change to the installer itself but to the build toolchain, allowing
  version-specific patches to be applied after a Sage release. From
  time-to-time critical bugs are found and fixed in Sage only after an
  official release. And Sage's development process is not quick enough
  about making new releases. So we add the ability to include post-release
  patches as needed.

  • Added patch for giac to prevent possible hang in the Sage-Giac interface
    (https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/27385).

  • Added several patches for stability in OpenBLAS. Note, however, that
    the current release does not use OpenBLAS, but rather just uses
    Cygwin's default BLAS. A future release will switch to OpenBLAS for
    likely performance gains (https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/27493
    https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/27509
    https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/27565).

  • Added patch needed for psutil to work with Cygwin 3.0 on which this
    build is based (https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/27702).
