4 areas

Extensions of Rings

  • The LCM of ideals of number fields and function fields has been improved.
  • The simplification of elements in relative extensions was wrong in rare circumstances, which could have produced wrong results in set based operations. Bug reported by M. Grassl.
  • SwapExtension for rings produced an error when the smaller extension was defined by a non-monic polynomial.
  • A problem coercing low precision elements into ramified p-adic fields has been fixed.

Graphs

  • Assigning of zero labels has been fixed.
  • An ambiguous signature match error when using Contract has been fixed.

Groups

  • A group of order 962280 has been added to the perfect group database. Lower degree permutation representations have been found for 3 other groups. Updates supplied by Derek Holt.

Strings

  • A check for overflow in cat has been inserted (bug reported by M. Grassl).
