Upstream changes:
0.29 30 May 2013

    - Fix a signed vs. unsigned char issue in ranged moebius.  Thanks to the
      Debian testers for finding this.

    - XS is_prob_prime / is_prime now use a BPSW-style test (SPRP2 plus
      extra strong Lucas test) for values over 2^32.  This results in up
      to 2.5x faster performance for large 64-bit values on most machines.
      All PSP2s have been verified with Jan Feitsma's database.

    - forprimes now uses a segmented sieve.  This (1) allows arbitrary 64-bit
      ranges with good memory use, and (2) allows nesting on threaded perls.

    - prime_count_approx for very large values (> 10^36) was very slow without
      Math::MPFR.  Switch to Li+correction for large values if Math::MPFR is
      not available.

    - Workaround for MSVC compiler.

    - Added:
        is_pseudoprime (Fermat probable prime test)
        is_lucas_pseudoprime (standard Lucas-Selfridge test)
        is_extra_strong_lucas_pseudoprime (Mo/Jones/Grantham E.S. Lucas test)

0.28 23 May 2013

    - An optimization to nth_prime caused occasional threaded Win32 faults.
      Adjust so this is avoided.

    - Yet another XS micro-speedup (PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT)

    - forprimes { block } [begin,]end.  e.g.
        forprimes { say } 100;
        $sum = 0;  forprimes { $sum += $_ } 1000,50000;  say $sum;
        forprimes { say if is_prime($_+2) } 10000;  # print twin primes

    - my $it = prime_iterator(10000); say $it->();
      This is experimental (that is, the interface may change).

0.27 20 May 2013

    - is_prime, is_prob_prime, next_prime, and prev_prime now all go straight
      to XS if possible.  This makes them much faster for small inputs without
      having to use the -nobigint flag.

    - XS simple number validation to lower function call overhead.  Still a
      lot more overhead compared to directly calling the XS functions, but
      it shaves a little bit of time off every call.

    - Speedup pure Perl factoring of small numbers.

    - is_prob_prime / is_prime about 10% faster for composites.

    - Allow '+N' as the second parameter to primes.pl.  This allows:
          primes.pl 100 +30
      to return the primes between 100 and 130.  Or:
          primes.pl 'nth_prime(1000000000)' +2**8

    - Use EXTENDED_TESTING to turn on extra tests.

0.26 21 April 2013

    - Pure Perl factoring:
        - real p-1 -- much faster and more effective
        - Fermat (no better than HOLF)
        - speedup for pbrent
        - simple ECM
        - redo factoring mix

    - New functions:
        prime_certificate  produces a certificate of primality.
        verify_prime       checks a primality certificate.

    - Pure perl primality proof now uses BLS75 instead of Lucas, so some
      numbers will be much faster [n-1 only needs factoring to (n/2)^1/3].

    - Math::Prime::Util::ECAffinePoint and ECProjectivePoint modules for
      dealing with elliptic curves.

0.25 19 March 2013

    - Speed up p-1 stage 2 factoring.  Combined with some minor changes to the
      general factoring combination, ~20% faster for 19 digit semiprimes.

    - New internal macro to loop over primary sieve starting at 2.  Simplifies
      code in quite a few places.

    - Forgot to skip one of the tests with broken 5.6.2.

0.24 10 March 2013

    - Fix compilation with old pre-C99 strict compilers (decl after statement).

    - euler_phi on a range wasn't working right with some ranges.

    - More XS prime count improvements to speed and space.  Add some tables
      to the sieve count so it runs a bit faster.  Transition from sieve later.

    - PP prime count for 10^9 and larger is ~2x faster and uses much less
      memory.  Similar impact for nth_prime 10^8 or larger.

    - Let factor.pl accept expressions just like primes.pl.

0.23  5 March 2013

    - Replace XS Zeta for x > 5 with series from Cephes.  It is 1 eps more
      accurate for a small fraction of inputs.  More importantly, it is much
      faster in range 5 < x < 10.  This only affects non-integer inputs.

    - PP Zeta code replaced (for no-MPFR, non-bignums) with new series.  The
      new code is much more accurate for small values, and *much* faster.

    - Add consecutive_integer_lcm function, just like MPU::GMP's (though we
      define ci_lcm(0) = 0, which should get propogated).

    - Implement binary search on RiemannR for XS nth_prime when n > 2e11.
      Runs ~2x faster for 1e12, 3x faster for 1e13.  Thanks to Programming
      Praxis for the idea and motivation.

    - Add the first and second Chebyshev functions (theta and psi).

    - put isqrt(n) in util.h, use it everywhere.
      put icbrt(n) in lehmer.h, use it there.

    - Start on Lagarias-Miller-Odlyzko prime count.

    - A new data structure for the phi(x,a) function used by all the fast
      prime count routines.  Quite a bit faster and most importantly, uses
      half the memory of the old structure.

    - Performance:
       - Divisor sum with no sub is ~10x faster.
       - Speed up PP version of exp_mangoldt, create XS version.
       - Zeta much faster as mentioned above.
       - faster nth_prime as mentioned above.
       - AKS about 10% faster.
       - Unroll a little more in sieve inner loop.  A couple percent faster.
       - Faster prime_count and nth_prime due to new phi(x,a) (about 1.25x).

0.22 26 February 2013

    - Move main factor loop out of xs and into factor.c.

    - Totient and Moebius now have complete XS implementations.

    - Ranged totient uses less memory when segmented.

    - Switch thread locking to pthreads condition variables.

0.21 22 February 2013

    - Switch to using Bytes::Random::Secure for random primes.  This is a
      big change in that it is the first non-CORE module used.  However, it
      gets rid of lots of possible stupidness from system rand.

    - Spelling fixes in documentation.

    - primes.pl: Add circular and Panaitopol primes.

    - euler_phi and moebius now will compute over a range.

    - Add mertens function: 1000+ times faster than summing moebius($_).

    - Add exp_mangoldt function: exponential of von Mangoldt's function.

    - divisor_sum defaults to sigma if no sub is given (i.e. it sums).

    - Performance:
       - Speedup factoring small numbers.  With -nobigint factoring from
         1 to 10M, it's 1.2x faster.  1.5x faster than Math::Factor::XS.
       - Totient and M枚bius over a range are much faster than separate calls.
       - divisor_sum is 2x faster.
       - primes.pl is much faster with Pillai primes.
       - Reduce overhead in euler_phi -- about 2x faster for individual calls.

0.20  3 February 2013

    - Speedup for PP AKS, and turn off test on 32-bit machines.

    - Replaced fast sqrt detection in PP.pm with a slightly slower version.
      The bloom filter doesn't work right in 32-bit Perl.  Having a non-working
      detector led to really bad performance.  Hence this and the AKS change
      should speed up testing on some 32-bit machines by a huge amount.

    - Fix is_perfect_power in XS AKS.

0.19  1 February 2013

    - Update MR bases with newest from http://miller-rabin.appspot.com/.

    - Fixed some issues when using bignum and Calc BigInt backend, and bignum
      and Perl 5.6.

    - Added tests for bigint is_provable_prime.

    - Added a few tests to give better coverage.

    - Adjust some validation subroutines to cut down on overhead.

0.18  14 January 2013

    - Add random_strong_prime.

    - Fix builds with Solaris 9 and older.

    - Add some debug info to perhaps find out why old ActiveState Perls are
      dying in Math::BigInt::Calc, as if they were using really old versions
      that run out of memory trying to calculate '2 ** 66'.

0.17  20 December 2012

    - Perl 5.8.1 - 5.8.7 miscalculates 12345 ** 4, which I used in a test.

    - Fix (hopefully) for MSC compilation.

    - Unroll sieve loop for another 20% or so speedup.  It won't have much
      practical application now that we use Lehmer's method for counts, but
      there are some cases that can still show speedups.

    - Changed the rand functionality yet again.  Sorry.  This should give
      better support for plugging in crypto RNG's when used from other
      modules.

0.16  11 December 2012

    - randbits >= 32 on some 32-bit systems was messing us up.  Restrict our
      internal randbits to wordsize-1.
