Sage 10.8 Release Tour

These are the work-in-progress release notes for the 10.8 release. Contributions are welcome!

For the current stable version, see the Sage 10.7 Release Tour.

Naming conventions

Methods returning the number of objects are now consistently named number_of_*, or, in exceptional cases, n_*. For example, we now have number_of_spanning_trees and n_vertices. #40935

Proposal: Methods returning a calculated count should be named *_count, for example, triangles_count or linear_intervals_count.
