Please test pari-2.8.1


Dear PARI developers,

We have made available a prerelease of PARI 2.8.1 (beta).

Due to time constraint, there is not -pre1 release this time.
Instead PARI 2.8.1 should be seen as a prerelease for PARI 2.9.0
to be released shortly.

So please test it and report any problem and incompatibilities.

Please test the tarball:
<http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/unstable/pari-2.8.1.beta.tar.gz>

Please also test the standalone 64bit Mac OS X binary:

<http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/unstable/gp-2.8.1-osx>

ane the the 64bit windows installer:
<http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/unstable/Pari64-2-8-1.exe>

I have also built the 32bit Windows installer:
<http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/unstable/Pari32-2-8-1.exe>

and the following standalone Windows binaries:

32bit 
<http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/unstable/gp32-2-8-1.exe>

       arbitrary generator g is specified
   10- e=ellinit([1,-1,1,98,126],O(5^10)); ellpointtoz(e,[1,14]) -> div. by 0

BA 12- [breakloop] changes done in the first-level breakloop were lost when
       leaving the second-level breakloop.
   13- polinterpolate could create illegal objects [#1837] (test-case by PB)

       N = 2 (mod 4) [from 2.8.0]
   23- idealprincipalunits(,,1) not supported [ concat error ] [from 2.8.0]
   24- stack corruption in pollardbrent() at \g4 [#1858]
BA 25- fflog could crash in char 2. [from 2.8.0]
JD 26- is_universal_constant() made (possibly wrong) assumptions about memory
       layout (gen_0 < ghalf)
BA 27- lfundiv(L1,L2): division by 0 if L2[6] (rootno) is 0.
   28- inconsistent thresholds for zeta(2*n); e.g. at \p100000, zeta(22934)

  Changed
    1- remove useless flag in idealappr: directly allow factorization
    2- [libpari] idealappr0 is now obsolete: use idealappr
    3- replace qfbil(x,y,{q}) by qfeval({q},x,y) and qfnorm(x,{q}) by
       qfeval({q},x): it makes more sense to have q first, and a single
       function for qf+polar form (as in all other qf-like routines:
       ellheight, etc.)
    4- functions nfeltdivmodpr, nfeltmulmodpr, nfeltpowmodpr, nfeltreducemodpr,
       nfkermodpr, nfsolvemodpr are obsolete. Use nfmodpr, work in the finite
       field, then lift back using nfmodprlift.
    5- split off historical refcard in submodules basic, ell, lfun, mf, nf
    6- rewrite nfeltinv / nfeltdiv (use mult. table rather than polmod
       representation)
    7- idealred algorithm (find small y in I^(-1), not in I)
    8- bnf format (allow dynamically adding units): old bnfs will be detected
       as invalid. Dirty trick to force conversion: bnf[10]=vector(3);
    9- nfelt* functions may now return scalars (t_INT/t_FRAC) in addition to
       t_COL on nf.zk basis.
   10- remove flag = 2 in nfgaloisconj (slow, unreliable, obsolete for 15 years)
   11- bnfcertify(K): use automorphisms (speedup roughly #Aut_Q(K))
   12- idealstar format, to access data more conveniently (and avoid
       recomputations): old bid and bnr structures from versions up to 2.8.0
       are now invalid
   13- narchstar output: include finf in output
   14- set_sign_mod_divisor prototype: module is now useless (implicitly
       contained in sarch argument)
   15- [libpari] removed discrayabs, discrayabscond, discrayrel,
       discrayrelcond, discrayabslistlong: obsoleted since 2.0
   16- gcd(t_VEC/t_COL/t_MAT, ...) is now forbidden, same for lcm
   17- E/Qp: add sequence of isogenous curves  to structure (converges to the
       singular E_oo) => much faster ellpointtoz
BA 18- ZpX_liftfact no longer handles extensions of Qp, use ZqX_liftfact
   19- char_rootof1 renamed to rootsof1_cx, char_rootof1_u -> rootsof1u_cx
   20- gp --test: consider that the session is not interactive
BA 21- [libpari] rename listcreate to mklist
   22- [libpari] rename idealinv_HNF -> idealHNF_inv, idealinv_HNF_Z
       -> idealHNF_inv, idealmul_HNF -> idealHNF_mul
   23- [libpari] made famat_mul_shallow a true equivalent of famat_mul
   24- move 'install' tests from test-program to test-install target
   25- allow normlp(v, +oo)
   26- [documentation] removed .ps files (use dvips -o if you need them); install dvis
