Upstream changes:
0.14 29 November 2012
- Compilation and test issues:
Fix compilation on NetBSD
Try to fix compilation on Win32 + MSVC
Speed up some testing, helps a lot with Cygwin on slow machines
Speed up a lot of slow PP areas, especially used by test suite
- XS AKS extended from half-word to full-word.
- Add functions:
jordan_totient generalization of Euler Totient
divisor_sum run coderef for every divisor
- Allow environment variables MPU_NO_XS and MPU_NO_GMP to turn off XS and
GMP support respectively if they are defined and equal to 1.
- Lehmer prime count for Pure Perl code, including use in nth_prime.
prime count 10^9 using sieve:
71.9s PP sieve
0.47s XS sieve
prime count 10^9 using Lehmer:
0.70s PP lehmer
0.03s XS lehmer
- Moved bignum Zeta and R to separate file, only loaded when needed.
Helpful to get the big rarely-used tables out of the main loading.
- Quote arguments to Math::Big{Int,Float} in a few places it wasn't.
Math::Big* coerces the input to a signed value if it isn't a string,
which causes us all sorts of grief.
0.13 19 November 2012
- Fix an issue with prime count, and make prime count available as a
standalone program using primesieve.
0.12 17 November 2012
- Add bin/primes.pl and bin/factor.pl
- Add functions:
primorial product of primes <= n
pn_primorial product of first n primes
prime_set_config set config options
RiemannZeta export and make accurate for small reals
is_provable_prime prove primes after BPSW
is_aks_prime prove prime via AKS
- Add 'assume_rh' configuration option (default: false) which can be set
to allow functions to assume the Riemann Hypothesis.
- Use the Schoenfeld bound for Pi(x) (x large) if assume_rh is true.
- valgrind testing
- Use long doubles for math functions.
- Some fixes and speedups for ranged primes().
- In the PP code, use 2 MR bases for more numbers when possible.
- Fixup of racing SQUFOF, and switch to use it in factor().
- Complete rewrite of XS p-1 factor routine, includes second stage.
- bug fix for prime_count on edge of cache.
- prime_count will use Lehmer prime counting algorithm for largish
sizes (above 4 million). This is MUCH faster than sieving.
- nth_prime now uses the fast Lehmer prime count below the lower limit,
then sieves up from there. This makes a big speed difference for inputs
over 10^6 or so -- over 100x faster for 10^9 and up.
