Version 26.4 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 26.3: 1) The length 160K x87 FFT crashes. Fixed in 26.3 build 2. 2) The length 4M FFT crashes on Northwood and Willamette Pentium 4. Fixed in 26.3 build 3. 3) On a brand new install, the default on hyperthreaded machines was 2 threads per worker. This was slower for most users. In the next release, the default will be 1 thread per worker. 4) Testing 522*928^24576-1 in 64-bit executables crashes. Fixed in 26.4. 5) You cannot edit the affinity settings from the Linux menus. Fixed in 26.4. 6) Running a multi-threaded torture test on AMD machines failed. Fixed in 26.4. 7) Setting a specific FFT length in worktodo.ini sometimes selects the next larger FFT length. This would most commonly occur when an exponent being tested is near the FFT crossover point and a specific FFT length is automatically chosen based on the roundoff error in the first 1000 iterations. Fixed in 26.4. 8) Multi-line additional information from the Primenet server was not parse properly. Only the first line was parsed. Thus, when successfully completing a double-check only the successful completion was written to prime.log. The cpu credit amount was not written to prime.log. Fixed in 26.4. 9) When doing PRP on non-base-2 numbers the time estimate in Test/Status was off by a factor of log2(base). Fixed in 26.4. 10) On a 32-bit Mac, some FFT implementations were missing. Fixed in next release. This is not yet 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 26.3 should be dropped.
Added to CVS, thanks for reporting the new version!
