Sage 10.3 and many other updates

The project software environment has been updated. Version 2024-03-25 is now the default. It includes SageMath 10.3 as the default. As usual, you can still use older versions by switching to a different Jupyter Kernel or use the sage_select command-line utility to change what sage is actually running.

As usual, there are also a ton of upgrades for the Python 3 (system-wide) environment, R, and various underlying Linux packages.

If you run into problems, please let us know in support. You can also always switch back to the previous environment in Project Settings → Control → Software Environment and select "Ubuntu 22.04 // Previous".

Update:

2024-03-29: a small patch update has been released, which mainly fixes a pandas vs. openpyxl incompatibility involving reading *.xslx files.
