The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

Changes for version 0.11

  • Turn of threading tests on Cygwin, as threads on some Cygwin platforms give random panics (my Win7 64-bit works fine, XP 32-bit does not).
  • Use pow instead of exp2 -- some systems don't have exp2.
  • Fix compile issues on MSC, thanks to Sisyphus.
  • some bigint/bignum changes (next_prime and math functions).
  • speed up and enhance some tests.
  • Test version of racing SQUFOF (not used in main code yet). Also add a little more up-front trial division for main factor routine.
