pari-2.10.0 released ! [ALPHA]


Dear PARI lovers,

I am pleased to announce the release of pari-2.10.0-ALPHA, incorporating two
years worth of development into an official release !

Sources and binaries for Windows or MacOS can be obtained through the address
  http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/download.html

This new branch contains a brand new package for spaces of Modular Forms,
a wealth of new functions for elliptic curves or number fields,
new iterators, and a long expected ECPP primality prover !

See http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/Bugs/ for how to report problems
or submit wishlist items.

Have fun,

    K.B.

HIGHLIGHTS FOR PARI-2.10.0-ALPHA: see below for COMPATIBILITY ISSUES.
=================================

[The GP language]
  - new iterators: forperm (over permutations), forsubset (over subsets),
    forfactored/fordivfactored (over integers/divisors in factored form),
    forsquarefree (over squarefree integers), forprimestep (over primes in
    arithmetic progressions). We also allow forstep(a,b, Mod(c,q), ...)
  - new interface for handling files: fileclose, fileextern, fileflush,
    fileopen fileread, filereadstr, filewrite, filewrite1. Orders of magnitude
    faster than read / write for small incremental I/O operations
  - allow \r "foo bar" to allow filenames containing spaces (quotes around
    file names are optional; also for \l and \w).
  - new function printp to print matrices in 2-D as output by gp
    [ existed in 2.5 with a different meaning: "pretty" format ]
  - default(echo, 2): print lines as is, including whitespace and comments

[Multiprecision Kernel]
  - new function exponent()
  - new function log1p(x) = log(1+x) accurate near 0
  - improvements to sqrtn, log, lngamma, expm1

[Numerical summation and integration]
  - derivnum: allow order k derivatives
   ? derivnum(x = 0, exp(sin(x)), 16) \\ 16-th derivative
   %1 = -52635599.000000000000000000000000000000
  - new numerical summation functions: sumnumap / sumnumapinit (Abel-Plana),

    used by isprime()
  - new function divisorslenstra (divisors in residue classes)
  - new functions to manipulate Abelian characters
      * general characters: chargalois (Galois orbits), charpow (chi^n),
      * Dirichlet characters: znchar (convert datum to Dirichlet character)
        znchargauss (complex Gauss sum), zncharconductor, znchartoprimitive,
        znchardecompose (chi mod N = chi_Q chi_N/Q), 
  - issquarefree / isfundamental / quaddisc: allow integers in factored form
  - fast chinese remainder, fast multimodular reduction (reduce integer N mod
    p1, ..., pk)
  - optional flag to 'divisors' (include factorization)

[Finite fields]
  - new interface to handle maps between finite fields: ffmap (evaluate a map),
    ffinvmap (invert a map), ffcompomap (compose maps), ffextend (create a map
    from K to K[t]/(T)), ffembed(a,b) (create a map from k(a) to k(b)),
    fffrobenius (create Frobenius as a map)
  - parallel znlog/fflog over large prime fields and fields of
    characteristic <= 5

[Polynomials]
  - new interface to factorization and root finding over finite fields;
    extend factormod(f, D) for general finite fields: D = p prime [over Fp],
    D = [T,p] (over Fp[x]/(T)) D a t_FFELT (over attached Fq), or omited
    [over field of definition of f]. Same for polrootsmod.
  - new functions factormodSQF (squarefree factorization), factormodDDF
    (distinct degree factorization)
  - new function polrootsbound (sharp upper bound for complex roots)

[Linear Algebra]
  - Linear algebra over Z/NZ: matdetmod, matimagemod, matinvmod, matkermod,

  - the package now supports level N = 1
  - new functions msdim (dimension), mslattice (canonical integral structure),
    mspetersson (intersection product), mspolygon (hyperbolic polygon / Farey
    symbol attached to Gamma_0(N))
  - msfromell: use a much faster modular algorithm, allow a vector
    of isogenous curves
  - allow mssplit(M) by itself, splits msnew(M) by default

[Complex L-functions]
  - lfuncreate: allow specifying an arbitrary growth rate a(n) << n^(c + eps)
    [by default, assume Ramanujan-Petersson]

    embeddings), nfpolsturm (number of real roots of s(T) for T in K[X] and
    s a real embedding of K), bestapprnf (algdep for a known number field),
    idealispower (I = J^n ?), idealredmodpower (reduce mod n-th powers)
    poldiscfactors (fast partial factorisation of poldisc(T)),
  - new functions to handle representations of galoisinit G:
    galoisconjclasses (conjugacy classes of G), galoischartable (character
    table), galoischarpoly (characteristic polynomial of representation),
    galoischardet (determinant).
  - bnrinit(,,1) [include generators] is no longer necessary for bnrL1,
    bnrconductor, bnrrootnumber, bnrstark, rnfkummer, galoissubcyclo
  - faster nfgaloismatrix / nfgaloisapply(nf,s, ideal)
  - change rnfpolredabs so that it outputs a canonical polynomial.
    As a result, the function is no longer Obsolete.
  - optional argument to idealfactor [limit factorization]

[Associative and central simple algebras]
  - new functions alggroupcenter (Z(K[G])), algmakeintegral (integral
    multiplication table), algsplit (isomorphism between A/F_p and a matrix
    algebra M_d(F_p^n), where dim A = n*d^2)
  - new functions to handle full lattices: alglatadd, alglatcontains,
    alglatelement, alglathnf, alglatindex, alglatinter,
    alglatlefttransporter, alglatmul, alglatrighttransporter, alglatsubset

[Graphics]
  - new functions plotexport / plothexport (support PostScript and SVG formats)
    The functions psdraw, psploth and psplothraw and the default 'psfile'
    are obsolete: use one of plotexport, plothexport or plothrawexport
    with format "ps" and write the result to file.
  - graph/plotport.c is now part of libpari
  - plotcolor(w, col) now allows color names (t_STR), [R,G,B] values
    or "#RRGGBB" hex triplet; returns the [R,G,B] value attached to c
  - allow plotdraw(w) for plotdraw([w,0,0])

COMPATIBILITY ISSUES BETWEEN 2.9.* and 2.10.*
============================================

0) Defaults:
  - change 'debugmem' default value to 1; no memory-related message at value 0
    (not recommended under gp).

1) Output changes:
  - the bid structure from idealstar has been changed, the new format is
    not compatible with pari-2.9
  - changed the definitions in polred / polredbest / polredabs / rnfpolredabs
    to decide what is the "best" polynomial to return
  - bnrdisclist output is now an ordinary vector (not a vector of vectors)
  - idealstar(,N) : always include generators, for all values of flag.
    The operation is cheap: allowing not to compute it does not make much
    sense; and G.gen is now always defined.
  - component(t_POL T, n) used to return polcoeff(T, n-1) for all n >= 1
    [ undocumented compatibility behaviour ]. Now returns a true GEN component
    whenever it exists and raises an exception when it does not
    [ n <= 0 or n > polcoeff(T)+1 ]. Use polcoeff !
  - nf structure:  nf[7] now stores nf.zk / content(nf.zk). Old format is
    still supported (to read in data involving old-style nf generated by
    gp version < 2.10) but incurs a small speed penalty.
  - K.tu[2] was always a t_POLMOD; make it a t_INT if -1
  - numtoperm now returns a t_VECSMALL (so that results can be
    multiplied as permutations, etc.), no longer a t_VEC with t_INT entries
  - Ser(s, 'x, d) now always returns a series with d significant terms.
    It used to return a t_SER s in 'x verbatim and to use all given
    coefficients for a t_VEC/t_COL. The behaviour changes only if d is
    explicitly given: no change for Ser(s,'x)
  - algleftmultable now always returns the multiplication table on the
    integral basis
  - ellmoddegree no longer outputs [D, err] but only the degree D

2) Input / interface changes:
  - lfuncreate() change of format for (p,d)->Lp closure:
      * Lp here and in bad primes [p,Lp] must now use the actual local
        factor and not its inverse
      * d is now the exact number of terms needed (was 1 less), i.e.
        one need only return Lp + O(x^d)
      * bad primes are given as a separate 2nd component:
        [Lp, [[p1,L1],...[pk,Lk]]], not as [Lp, [p1,L1],...[pk,Lk]]
  - now that we have primecert, isprime(n,1) no longer outputs a certificate
    and no longer uses APRCL for large prime divisors of n-1; it now implements
    pure Pocklington-Lehmer-Selfridge and is very slow; use primecert(n) !
  - ellisomat(E,{fl}) is now ellisomat(E,{p},{fl}) (p degree of isogenies)
  - ellpadicmatrix now returns a pair of matrices (instead of a matrix
    whose entries are pairs of values); ellpadicheight and ellpadicmatrix no
    longer accept [p,[a,b]] arguments; use * [a,b]~
  - E/Qp converts coefficient to exact form using centered residues
  - factorff and polrootsff are now obsolete. Use factormod/polrootsmod
  - merged algdecomposition + algsimpledec -> algsimpledec
  - renamed algsplittingmatrix -> algtomatrix

     50- K=bnfinit(x^2+2323);

     65- nfisincl(nf1, nf2) didn't work [#1921]
     66- setting sopath in gprc then calling install() -> SEGV [#1922]
     67- nfislocalpower did not accept a bnf in place of a nf

         multiplicity (note that the multiplicity is not well defined for
         inexact inputs, which are close to being inseparable, i.e.
         v_p( disc(T) ) is large compared to the input accuracy). On the
         other hand, factorpadic with exact input is able to compute
         multiplicities reliably.

     80- subst(t_SER, x, x+O(x^N)) was slow [ e.g. ellj(x+O(x^10000)) ]
BA   81- setrand(2);polclass(-5032,27) -> wrong result
     82- polredabs(non-monic t_POL, 1) => potentially wrong transformation map
     83- if 'a < 'b < 'c, charpoly(Mod(a, a^2 + Mod(b,b^2+1)), c) => 1
         [ now error: the result can't be repreѕented as a t_POL in 'c, only
         as a t_POLMOD modulo b^2 whose coefficients are t_POL in 'c ]
     84- mathouseholder: missing sanity checks (SEGV, didn't accept t_COL)

BA   94- foo = vectorsmall(1);for(i=1,1, foo[1]); -> error [#1958]
BA   95- v=Vecsmall([2]); Fl_neg(v[1],3) when Fl_neg is installed [#1958]
     96- fincke_pohst with stockmax = -1 and non-zero CHECK (infinite
         capacity + selection criterion) could lose some vectors
         Affected polredabs [#1963]
     97- ellwp(,,1) returned \wp'/2 instead of \wp'

      5- support ??refcard-ell  (or mf/nf/lfun)
      6- [libpari internals] bnrinit(,,1) [with generators] is no longer
         necessary for bnrsurjection()
      7- bnrinit(,,1) is no longer necessary for bnrL1, bnrconductor,
         bnrrootnumber, bnrstark, rnfkummer, galoissubcyclo
      8- msfromell: use a (much faster) modular algorithm, allow a vector
         of isogenous curves
      9- mseval(W,s,p): allow 2x2 matrix for the path 'p' argument
     10- allow mseval(W, t_MAT, p) to evaluate many symbols simultaneously
     11- allow polrootsreal() and polsturm() with non-rational real polynomials
         (input is rounded first)
BA   12- FlxX_shift did not support negative (left) shift.
BA   13- [libpari] rename FpX_fromdigits -> FpXV_FpX_fromdigits,
         FpXQX_fromdigits -> FpXQXV_FpXQX_fromdigits
     14- made lngamma(t_COMPLEX) faster
     15- made sumnummonieninit(,1) faster
HC   16- sumnummonieninit(a) for [a,a] did not conform to documentation.
         Change to sumnummonieninit(b) for [1,b]
     17- improve prime() and primepi() by adding more checkpoints [#1878]
     18- lfun(Dirichlet character): switch automatically to lfunchiquad
         (Kronecker) if char has order <= 2
     19- nfchecksigns: replace by rigorous algorithm
     20- asympnum: better tunings => usually finds more terms
     21- extended help: make ?? op work for ALL operators (=> GP operators@2)
     22- idealstar(,N) : always include generators, for all values of flag
         [ this is cheap, allowing not to compute it doesn't make much sense;
         and G.gen is now always defined. ]
     23- let ellsea call the generic algorithm when q <= 523 to avoid an oo-loop
     24- sqrtnr algorithm (Newton iteration instead of exp(log(x)/n)
BA   25- quadgen/quadunit: allow to specify the variable name instead of w.
     26- [libpari] rename vecbinome -> vecbinomial
     27- [libpari] rename padic_lindep -> lindep_padic, Xadic_lindep ->
         lindep_Xadic

BA   29- keri replaced by ZM_ker (use modular algorithm)
     30- lfuncreate() change of format for (p,d)->Lp closure:
         - Lp here and in bad primes [p,Lp] must now use the actual local
           factor and not its inverse
         - d is now the exact number of terms needed (was 1 less), i.e.
           one need only return Lp + O(x^d)
         - bad primes are given as a separate 2nd component:
           [Lp, [[p1,L1],...[pk,Lk]]], not as [Lp, [p1,L1],...[pk,Lk]]
     31- faster nfgaloismatrix / nfgaloisapply(nf,s, ideal)
     32- nf struct:  nf[7] now stores nf.zk / content(nf.zk). Old format is
         still supported (to read in data involving old-style nf generated by
         gp version < 2.10) but incurs a small speed penalty.
JD   33- move plotport.c to libpari
     34- default window size for hi-res plots using --graphic=X
     35- component(t_POL T, n) used to return polcoeff(T, n-1) for all n >= 1
         [ undocumented compatibility behaviour, deprecated since the
         introduction of polcoeff ], and raised an exception for n <= 0.
         Now returns a true GEN component whenever it exists and raises an
         exception when it does not [ n <= 0 or n > polcoeff(T)+1 ].
BA   36- Fl_addmul_pre: change arguments order to follow Fp_addmul convention
     37- issquarefree / isfundamental with integer argument: allow factored form
     38- change polred-type algorithm to return 'x' (no longer 'x-1') for
         the field of rational numbers (make it consistent with polredabs)
BA   39- ellisomat(E,{fl}) is now ellisomat(E,{p},{fl}) (p degree of isogenies)
     40- the definition used in polred / polredbest / polredabs to decide
         what is the "best" polynomial to return
     41- removed resultant_all, use RgX_resultant_all
     42- polresultant: no longer compute the content of arguments
         (potentially very expensive for a generically small gain)
     43- support Q(i) in Q_denom / Q_remove_denom
BA   44-[libpari] rename {FpXQXQ,FlxqXQ,F2xqXQ}V_aut{sum,trace,pow} to
                         {FpXQXQ,FlxqXQ,F2xqXQ}_aut{sum,trace,pow}
BA   45-[libpari] FpXQXQ_auttrace now identical to FpXQ_auttrace
BA   46-[libpari] RgX_type now only handles polynomials.
     47-log: change threshold between Taylor / AGM when x close to a power
        of 2 [#1934]
     48-[libpari] ZM_inv and QM_inv interface
     49- K.tu[2]: make it a t_INT if possible, else a t_POLMOD
     50- removed warning "Mod(a,b)^n with n >> b : wasteful"
     51- ellpadicmatrix now returns a pair of matrices (instead of a matrix
         whose entries are pairs of values)
     52- ellpadicheight and ellpadicmatrix no longer accept [p,[a,b]]
         arguments; use * [a,b]~
     53- ellpadics2: allow curves with multiplicative reduction
     54- E/Qp now allowed in ellcard, ellap, ellgroup, ellissupersingular,
         ellpadicfrobenius, ellpadics2, ellintegralmodel, elllocalred
     55- E/Qp convert coefficient to exact form using centered residues
     56- msissymbol now returns a GEN (gen_0/gen_1) instead of a long, allow
         t_MAT arguments and return a vector of 0/1 in this case.
     57- allow mseval(M, t_MAT)
     58- change 'debugmem' default value to 1;
         no memory-related message at value 0 (not recommended under gp).
BA   59- V=galoisfixedfield(,,2): return V[1] in the same variable as the
         coeffs of V[3] instead of P.
     60- numtoperm now returns a t_VECSMALL (so that results can be
         multiplied as permutations, etc.), no longer a ZV
     61- improve Fp_sqrt for p = 5 (mod 8) [Atkin's formula]
     62- improved matrixqz(,‐1 or -2) by using matkermod
     63- The functions psdraw, psploth and psplothraw and the default psfile
         are obsolete. Use one of plotexport, plothexport or plothrawexport
         with format "ps" and write the result to file.
AP   64- new implementation of matsolvemod; old matsolvemod0 is deprecated
     65- plotcolor(w,c) now returns the [R,G,B] value attached to c
     66- allow plotdraw(w) for plotdraw([w,0,0])
     67- allow isprime(n) to use ECPP
     68- isprime(n,1) no longer outputs a certificate, use primecert(n)
     69- isprime(n,1) no longer uses APRCL for large prime divisors of n-1
         (pure Pocklington-Lehmer-Selfridge); use primecert(n).
     70- getrand() encoded results in a way that depended on 32bit/64bit arch
     71- thue(p, rhs) is much easier when p has no real roots; don't insist
         on computing bnfinit(p) in this case [#2003]
     72- use Newton in expm1
     73- change rnfpolredabs so that it outputs a canonical polynomial. As a
         result, the function is no longer Obsolete.
     74- allow polrecip(scalar x) -> x
     75- extend factormod(f, D) for general finite fields: D = p prime
         [over Fp], D = [T,p] (over Fp[x]/(T)), or omited [over field of
         definition of f]. Same for polrootsmod.
     76- factorff and polrootsff are now obsolete. Use factormod/polrootsmod
     77- Ser(s, 'x, d) now always return a series with d significant terms.
         It used to return a t_SER s in 'x verbatim and to use all given
         coefficients for a t_VEC/t_COL. Only if d is explicitly given,
         no change for Ser(s,'x)
     78- elllocalred, ellap, ellcard, ellissupersingular, ellgroup(,0):
         allow models which are not p-integral
     79- ellgroup: allow E over number field
     80- factorback([;]) is now invalid [ [;] is not the empty factorization,
         factor(1) = matrix(0,2) is ]
     81- cmpiu / cmpiu, equaliu / equalui : no longer assume that t_INT argument
         is non-negative
     82- rename diviu_rem -> absdiviu_rem, udiviu_rem -> uabsdiviu_rem,
         udivui_rem -> uabsdivui_rem
     83- allow E.omega, E.eta, E.area for E over number field
     84- ellpointtoz for E over number field
AP   85- algnorm, algtrace and algcharpoly now have an optional flag to get the
         absolute version over an alginit algebra
AP   86- renamed algsplittingmatrix -> algtomatrix
AP   87- algleftmultable now always returns the multiplication table on the
         integral basis
AP   88- merged algdecomposition + algsimpledec -> algsimpledec
AP   89- algpoleval: new syntax for matrix argument algpoleval(al,pol,[x,mx])
BA   90- ellmoddegree: return only the modular degree, do not depend on current
         precision.
     91- polsturm: allow non-squarefree polynomials (count distinct roots)

  Removed
      1- file 'MACHINES' (no longer maintained)
      2- useless argument nf in ZC_nfval, ZC_nfvalrem, pr_equal, ZC_prdvd
      3- useless flag argument in polrootsmod
      4- [libpari] useless function Flx_roots_naive; rootmod and rootmod2
         are now an alias for polrootsmod (both have been deprecated for years)
         rootmod0 is just as obsolete.
