Description Paolo Pedroni 2010-10-13 10:25:05 UTC
Version 26.3 of sci-mathematics/gimps is available for download.

This is still a beta for the new version. It contains several bugfixes for serious bugs in version 26.2:

 1) The length 7K real FFT crashes on Core i3/i5/i7/i9 when running 32-bit Prime95 or 32-bit mprime.
 2) Benchmarking on a multi-core or hyperthreaded machine resulted in several spurious "Setting affinity to run help thread..." messages.
 3) The length 3072K (and some others) FFT crash on Northwood and Willamette Pentium 4.
 4) The new feature that continuously outputs hardware error counts took multiple lines. Version 26.3 has several undoc.txt options to control the amount of verbiage.
 5) In rare situations, an insufficiently large FFT length was chosen. Generally, you would only notice this with larger bases. An example is 10024*603^153-1.
 6) Worker-specific memory settings were not used in calculating the optimal P-1 bounds.
 7) On 64-bit Ubuntu 10.x machines, trial factoring would find factors but would improperly format them for writing to results.txt and for sending to PrimeNet.
 8) On 64-bit Ubuntu 10.x machines, N/A in worktodo.txt caused parse errors.

This is not a candidate for stable (unless upstream deems it so), but it would be nice to have it in ~arch (or even package.mask'ed) for beta-testing. Version 26.2 should be dropped.

Added to the new version and removed the previous one from CVS.  Thanks for the version bump bug :)
