#Planned features for release 2.8/2.9

##Floating point precision
* who: Bill

##Precedence of variables
* who: Karim
* varhigher/varlower MUST be fully supported

##L-functions
* who: Pascal, Henri
* documentation and tests need to be added
* then some non-controversial simple functions SHOULD be added
  (plotting, for instance)
* more functions CAN be added in a later release

##Elliptic curves over finite fields and CM
* who: Hamish
* lots of useful code is already present in the master branch,
  but only a few functions have been exported so far
* public interfaces need to be discussed and fixed
* then the functions decided upon MUST be included

##Algebras over number fields
* who: Aurel
* many functions are already present in the master branch
* some tests and documentation should be added
* the prefix MUST be changed to alg

##Modular symbols
* who: Karim
* only Gamma_0 (N) is supported
