Changes for version 2.01080606

  • GP/PARI in its infinite wisdom changed the structure of download directories. When downloading, we were not filtering v2.5 v2.7 etc against which we are not currently able to build. Support new format of $^O in Strawberry perl. On some installations of cygwin, Perl looks for cygperl5_1\d\.dll for linking. On some installations of cygwin, readable files are reported as not readable by stat(); workaround for ./typemap. Somehow, uname output on cygwin may have a trailing \cM at the end (stopped detection of assembler). Switch from using $Config{cpp} to $Config{cpprun} in libPARI/Makefile.PL [for 2.1.7] (cpp is missing in cygwin);
    • might have been the reason for problems with _overflow and _hiremainder on other platforms too!
  • 2.01080606a cygwin's tar generated 0-permissions for the distribution. Document workarounds for isprime() with version 2.1.7 (in the BUGS section).
