[flint-devel] New version of FLINT (1.2.0) released

[Bill H. <goo...@go...>]

I have just released FLINT version 1.2.0. It is available at
http://www.flintlib.org/

This is a major new version, including the new features:

* Incorporation of David Harvey's zn_poly-0.8 (it is now used to speed
up the zmod_poly module - users should notice a significant speed
increase for all polynomials over Z/nZ and the modular fmpz_poly Z[x]
functions). zn_poly is now included with FLINT and builds
automatically as part of FLINT and is thus no longer a library
dependency of FLINT.

* New fmpz_poly_is_squarefree function.

* New fmpz_poly_pseudo_rem function.

* New fmpz_poly_signature function (thanks to William Stein for
prompting me to implement this).

* Thread safety of large parts of FLINT.

* Numerous speedups.

* Numerous bug fixes.

The full list of changes is available in the file CHANGES in the tarball.

Bill.
