Re: [flint-devel] sage-4.0.2 release timeline

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

I've just issued FLINT 1.3.0 at http://www.flintlib.org/.

This is a relatively minor release but fixes some issues on Cygwin
which sage-cygwin currently patches, adds Tom Boothby's code for fast
perfect power testing, my one line factor program and Tom's heuristic
for a faster factoring routine for numbers less that one limb, etc.

I've also added the F_mpz module, which was specifically requested by
Fredrick Johansson, though it is only documented in the F_mpz.h file
at this stage, not the main pdf file and I have not added an F_mpz_cmp
function or the other functions Fredrick requested as yet.

I've valgrinded all the changed code and tested the release on 32 and
64 bit machines, including Cygwin.

This is not a critical update for Sage, but does supply features some
people have been waiting for, including fast factorisation of unsigned
longs. I also fixed the issues that David Harvey noted in the makefile
and fmpz.c which Sage currently patches.

Bill.
