[API Changes]
- forcomb with one argument iterates over the power set, so k=0..n
instead of k=n. The previous behavior was undocumented. The new
behavior matches Pari/GP (forsubset) and Perl6 (combinations).
[ADDED]
- factorialmod(n,m) n! mod m calculated efficiently
- is_fundamental(d) true if d a fundamental discriminant
[FUNCTIONALITY AND PERFORMANCE]
- Unknown bigint classes no longer return two values after objectify.
Thanks to Daniel Șuteu for finding this.
- Using lastfor inside a formultiperm works correctly now.
- randperm a little faster for k < n cases, and can handle big n
values without running out of memory as long as k << n.
E.g. 5000 random native ints without dups: @r = randperm(~0,5000);
- forpart with primes pulls min/max values in for a small speedup.
- forderange 10-20% faster.
- hammingweight for bigints 3-8x faster.
- Add Math::GMPq and Math::AnyNum as possible bigint classes. Inputs
of these types will be relied on to stringify correctly, and if this
results in an integer string, to intify correctly. This should give
a large speedup for these types.
- Factoring native integers is 1.2x - 2x faster. This is due to a
number of changes.
- Add Lehman factoring core. Since this is not exported or used by
default, the API for factor_lehman may change.
- All new Montgomery math. Uses mulredc asm from Ben Buhrow.
Faster and smaller. Most primality and factoring code 10% faster.
- Speedup for factoring by running more Pollard-Rho-Brent, revising
SQUFOF, updating HOLF, updating recipe.
