| pari-2.0.12.alpha update |
Hi all,
here is another update. Since (far too) many things changed since last
update, this version has reverted to ALPHA status. I'll try to schedule
some quick updates / patches to reach BETA status again.
http://megrez.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/pari.tar.gz
This time I don't provide diffs with the previous update (too big...).
If you're interested in Galois groups (degree < 12), fetch also
http://megrez.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/galdata.tgz
and untar it in the "datadir" that was chosen at Configure time (or create
a directory "data" in the main directory and untar galdata there before
typing "make install").
I hope that the most obvious bugs have already been combed out (thx Igor!),
but in any case, remember this is an ALPHA release, so be careful!
I couldn't put together a decent DOS release for today. I'll have it ready
on monday (hopefully).
Enjoy!
Karim.
P.S1: I have had quite a lot of problems with the mail delivery system
here, and I've probably lost many emails during the August and September.
If you sent me something which you think is not addressed below (and never
received a direct answer), please resend your message.
P.S2: the (huge) Changelog:
===========================================================================
Done for version 2.0.12 beta (released 06/11/98):
Fixed
1- GNU as incorrectly treated by Configure.
GN 2- various fixes in mpqs.c (incl. file descriptor leak)
GN 3- [From 2.0.11- Fixed 14] floating point exponents: 1E1 --> possibly 0.1
4- 1 % Pol(2) still wasn't right [cf 2.0.11- Fixed 31]
5- src/test/dotest for DOS boxes (running sh)
6- removed unreachable err() in factor()
7- system() is defined under EMX, so make it available for DOS
8- possibly use / as path separator under EMX, check COMSPEC and EMXSHELL
9- compatible = 3 downcased all the following lines in gprc and caused
incorrect behaviour of preprocessing statements.
10- unified default commands + better checks (e.g: default(log,0)->SEGV)
11- memory leak in gp_main_loop: bufferlisit wasn't reset on error
12- gptimer() not initialized properly if ^C was first command
13- extra space (sometimes) output by command line completion in DOS
version
14- modifying histsize could corrupt the history stack
15- incorrect error messages in gsqr
16- not enough garbage collection in rootmod (polgcdnun)
TP 17- compilation using cc -64 on 64-bit SGI
IS+GN 18- "(hit return to continue)" message did not flush stdin

27- exp(too large number) now gives a meaningful error message
AW 28- getrusage still not detected on FreeBSD 2.2.5

37- incorrect garbage collecting in quickmulii/quicksqri
38- reformatted the output in test mode (gp -test)
39- polroots((x-7)*(x-8)*(x+16)) took far too much time
40- ellap assumed ell was given in characteristic 0.
IZ 41- outlook of plot function (better labels, better choice of chars)

forgot about Frobenius
GN 43- rare memory bug in ellfacteur

46- check for various overflows (x ^ 1000000, etc.)
47- printtex(I) --> missing closing brace
48- setisset() did not check that elements were strings

KO 50- missing ; in level1.h (Windows specific code)
51- forprime(p=0,10,) indeed started at p=0
52- (cf 2.0.11 Fixed-1) put back 3 cgeti in galois.c (were necessary)
53- factorpadic could overstate the precision of the result
54- (very) rare memory corruption in allhnfmod (when cleaning up)
PM 55- prototypes in paridecl.h (fussy IRIX compiler), cc -64 in MACHINES
56- factormod implemented for all primes (p = 2 and p > 2^31 called
factorcantor which was much slower)
57- check for unsuitable input in [factor|roots] (SEGV for multivar. pol)
58- polresultant sometimes gave the wrong sign
59- extraneous space in err(impl,"") (= "sorry,... not implemented")
60- aliases treated incorrectly during error recovery (--> obscure bugs)
61- obscure bug when normalizing rational functions with real coeffs
(corrected content())
Changed
1- paricfg.h in dos and win32 extracted by Configure before the release
(to get version number right)
2- GPRC logic: try $GPRC, then look in $HOME, /etc (/ and C:/ under EMX)
3- make sure the output of pari_unique_filename() doesn't exist already
4- use a stack of files to gracefully handle errors/interrupts without
leaking file descriptors
5- replaced fixed-size buffers by dynamically allocated ones (es.c/gp.c)
6- rename INSTALL.QUICK --> INSTALL.DOC (updated)
Changelog --> CHANGES (looks better under DOS)
7- mention ?12 in the header
8- use ; (instead of :) as PATH separator under DOS, OS/2 or Windows (for
drive letter)
GN 9- ECM tunings
10- check for overflow in cget* (instead of silent wraparound)
11- gp_main_loop cut into (improved) pieces.
13- simplified normalizepol
14- Warn when trying to replace an existing function with install
(previously error)
15- new function mpcopy. replaced some inlined function (rcopy, absi,
absr, negi, negr) by compatibility macros
16- gphelp now uses GPDOCDIR and GPTMPDIR.
17- improved rational arithmetic by computing smaller gcds (gredsp removed)
GN 18- improvements in MPQS (use less memory, count relations precisely)
19- text-mode (non-TeX) extended help printed screen by screen
20- retuned integer multiplication, and made polkaramul the default
polynomial multiplication.
XR 21- stark.c rewritten
IZ 22- updated the pariperl interface
23- improved handling of t_INTMODs (less GC)
24- improved (a lot) factoring/root finding for intmod polynomials

27- from the same sources, Configure can now simultaneously run on
different architectures

for foreignAutoload...)
35- optimized permute()
36- setrand, getrand, getstack, gettime return a C long, and not a GEN.
37- pari_randseed no longer global. Don't reset random number generator
when entering certain functions
38- improved smallvectors() (correcting the "not enough storage" bug).
39- improved computation of special polynomials ([sub]cyclo,tchebi,legendre)
40- read() and extern() are timed as a whole now
41- check if LONG_IS_64BIT is correctly defined in pari_init (in case we
include the wrong pari.h)
GN 42- use Lehmer-Jebelean to compute inverse mod p (TODO: extended gcd)
43- moved subcyclo() to bibli2.c
44- improved polredabs, suppressed flag 8.
45- improved ground(), case t_REAL
46- modified the internal SMALL nf structure (add matrix M, for polredabs)
Removed
1- doc/Makefile.SOS, since make should succeed even if Configure failed
2- many error messages from the analyzer (referer*, trucer1,
matvecter...), better handled by talker2
3- obsolete test %_ in bench
4- polkaramul(), which is now the default multiplication.
5- factmoder error message
6- obsolete function polredabsfast
