pari-2.9.2(STABLE) released


Dear PARI lovers,

I would like to announce the release of pari-2.9.2 (STABLE). The sources
and Windows and MacOS binaries are available from

  http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/download.html

This is a BUGFIX release for the stable branch. 
This release addresses all significant problems that could be fixed in a
simple, harmless way. However we strongly encourage you to upgrade since it
fixes a number of cases where PARI was returning an incorrect result. 

In particular, this release fix a problem with handling extremly large
numbers on 64bit Windows. It also correct an issue with MPI support.

  --------------------------

Thanks to all those who reported problems, on the mailing lists or through
our Bug Tracking System. ( See http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/Bugs/ ), or
who tested the preleases.

Have fun,

  Bill and Karim

P.S: The Changelog:
