Announcing LinBox version 1.1

April 3, 2008

Version 1.1.5 has been released
This release mostly provide numerous bug and memory leak fixes, and support a broader range of systems/architectures (tested on Sparc-Solaris, PPC-OS-X, x86_64-OS-X, x86_64/32-Linux)

Version 1.1.4 has been released This release includes:

• numerous bug fixes, corrections, memory leaks removals,... mostly due to intense feed-back and patches of M. Abshoff.
• Support for gcc-4.2 new conventions on template default parameters
• Extended functionalities of the linear solver (rank deficient singular matrices)
• Faster FFLAS routines for triangular system solving (trsm)), and new inplace echelon form computations (cf fflas-ffpack-1.3.2)
• and a much more...

LinBox 1.1 is our second "stable" release. The Maple interface has undergone a major revision and extension with the purpose of making the linear algebra functions easily invoked. Also the BLAS support has been extended to Fortran BLAS (e.g. Goto BLAS) and C BLAS (e.g. ATLAS).
It has been checked with g++-4, on linux PIV, WinNT cygwin PIV, Mac G5 ... with givaro-3.2.6, gmp-4.2.1, ntl-5.4, GotoBLAS-1.10, ATLAS-3.7.10, Maple 10.

What's new in this release:

• New Maple interface.
• Goto BLAS other Fortran BLAS support.
• Sigma bases algorithm.
• BlackBox Characteristic polynomial.
• Fast polynomial Matrix multiplication.
• Block Hankel and block Toepliz BLackBox support.
• Introspective determinant.
• Sparse rational solver.
• Enhanced ring support (in particular Polynomials).
• Faster FFLAS and FFPACK.
• More integer matrix capabilities, with simple drivers in the solutions directory.
• ...and miscellaneous.
