Finite Fields ¶

A bug in finite field extensions (related to the function Completion in function fields) has been fixed (reported by L. Pecquet).

Integer Ring ¶

A bug in SQUFOF on some processor types has been fixed.

Matrices ¶

A bug in determinant over finite fields has been fixed (thus fixing crash in determinant over the integers and ClassGroup).

Number Fields ¶

A bug in the handling of infinite places in the Chinese Remainder Theorem has been fixed. This bug would consistently produce wrong results in Rayclassgroup computations involving infinite places.
A bug in the handling of ext over the rational numbers gave internal errors when trying to extend Q by a sequence of rational or integral numbers.

Polynomial Rings ¶

A bug in factorization over polynomial quotient rings over finite fields has been fixed (reported by D. Schmidt).
A bug in the sparse GCD algorithm has been fixed.
