Changes for version 0.59 - 2016-08-03

  • ADDED
    • is_prime_power Returns k if n=p^k for p a prime.
    • logint(n,b) Integer logarithm. Largest e s.t. b^e <= n.
    • rootint(n,k) Integer k-th root.
    • ramanujan_sum(k,n) Ramanujan's sum
  • FUNCTIONALITY AND PERFORMANCE
    • Fixes for quadmath:
      • Fix "infinity" in t/11-primes.t.
      • Fix native Pi to use quads.
      • Trim some threading tests.
    • Fix fromdigits memory error with large string.
    • Remove 3 threading tests that were causing issues with Perl -DDEBUGGING.
    • foroddcomposites with some odd start values could index incorrectly.
    • is_primitive_root(1,0) returns 0 instead of fp exception.
    • mertens() uses a little less memory.
    • 2x speedup for znlog with bigint values.
    • is_pseudoprime() and is_euler_pseudoprime() use Montgomery math so are much faster. They seem to be ~5% faster than Miller-Rabin now.
    • is_catalan_pseudoprime 1.1x to 1.4x faster.
    • is_perrin_pseudoprime over 10x faster. Uses Adams/Shanks doubling and Montgomery math. Single core, odd composites: ~8M range/s.
    • Add restricted Perrin pseudoprimes using an optional argument.
    • Add bloom filters to reject non-perfect cubes, fifths, and sevenths. is_power about 2-3x faster for native inputs.
    • forcomposites / foroddcomposites about 1.2x faster past 64-bit.
    • exp_mangoldt rewritten to use is_prime_power.
    • Integer root code rewritten and now exported.
    • We've been hacking around the problem of older Perls autovivifying functions at compile time. This makes functions that don't exist return true when asked if they're defined, which causes us distress.
      • Store the available GMP functions before loading the PP code.
      • XS code knows MPU::GMP version and calls as appropriate. This works around the auto-vivication, and lets us choose to call the GMP function based on version instead of just existence. E.g. GMP's is_power was added in 0.19, but didn't support negative powers until 0.28.
