The initial testing logic was wrong. An invalid input is not when + "a" and "b" are even it's when "b" is even [the algo is for odd moduli only]. + -- Started a new manual [finally]. It is incomplete and will be finished as time goes on. I had to stop + adding full demos around half way in chapter three so I could at least get a good portion of the + manual done. If you really need help using the library you can always email me! + -- My Textbook is now included as part of the package [all Public Domain] + +Sept 19th, 2003 +v0.27 -- Removed changes.txt~ which was made by accident since "kate" decided it was + a good time to re-enable backups...

[Greg Rose] + -- Optimized fast_mp_invmod() to do the test for invalid inputs [both even] + first so temps don't have to be initialized if it's going to fail. + -- Optimized mp_gcd() by removing mp_div_2d calls for when one of the inputs + is odd. + -- Tons of new comments, some indentation fixups, etc. + -- mp_jacobi() returns MP_VAL if the modulus is less than or equal to zero. + -- fixed two typos in the header of each file :-) + -- LibTomMath is officially Public Domain [see LICENSE] + +July 15th, 2003 +v0.24 -- Optimized mp_add_d and mp_sub_d to not allocate temporary variables + -- Fixed mp_gcd() so the gcd of 0,0 is 0.

Working on LibTomMath book now. + -- optimized the pprime demo [/etc/pprime.c] to first make a huge table of single + digit primes then it reads them randomly instead of randomly choosing/testing single + digit primes. + +July 12th, 2003 +v0.23 -- Optimized mp_prime_next_prime() to not use mp_mod [via is_divisible()] in each + iteration. Instead now a smaller table is kept of the residues which can be updated + without division. + -- Fixed a bug in next_prime() where an input of zero would be treated as odd and + have two added to it [to move to the next odd]. + -- fixed a bug in prime_fermat() and prime_miller_rabin() which allowed the base + to be negative, zero or one. Normally the test is only valid if the base is + greater than one. + -- changed the next_prime() prototype to accept a new parameter "bbs_style" which + will find the next prime congruent to 3 mod 4. The default [bbs_style==0] will + make primes which are either congruent to 1 or 3 mod 4. + -- fixed mp_read_unsigned_bin() so that it doesn't include both code for + the case DIGIT_BIT < 8 and >= 8 + -- optimized div_d() to easy out on division by 1 [or if a == 0] and use + logical shifts if the divisor is a power of two. + -- the default DIGIT_BIT type was not int for non-default builds. Fixed. + +July 2nd, 2003 +v0.22 -- Fixed up mp_invmod so the result is properly in range now [was always congruent to the inverse...] + -- Fixed up s_mp_exptmod and mp_exptmod_fast so the lower half of the pre-computed table isn't allocated + which makes the algorithm use half as much ram. + -- Fixed the install script not to make the book :-) [which isn't included anyways] + -- added mp_cnt_lsb() which counts how many of the lsbs are zero + -- optimized mp_gcd() to use the new mp_cnt_lsb() to replace multiple divisions by two by a single division. + -- applied similar optimization to mp_prime_miller_rabin(). + -- Fixed a bug in both mp_invmod() and fast_mp_invmod() which tested for odd + via "mp_iseven() == 0" which is not valid [since zero is not even either]. + +June 19th, 2003 +v0.21 -- Fixed bug in mp_mul_d which would not handle sign correctly [would not always forward it] + -- Removed the #line lines from gen.pl [was in violation of ISO C] + +June 8th, 2003 +v0.20 -- Removed the book from the package. Added the TDCAL license document. + -- This release is officially pure-bred TDCAL again [last officially TDCAL based release was v0.16] + +June 6th, 2003 +v0.19 -- Fixed a bug in mp_montgomery_reduce() which was introduced when I tweaked mp_rshd() in the previous release. + Essentially the digits were not trimmed before the compare which cause a subtraction to occur all the time. + -- Fixed up etc/tune.c a bit to stop testing new cutoffs after 16 failures [to find more optimal points]. + Brute force ho! + + +May 29th, 2003 +v0.18 -- Fixed a bug in s_mp_sqr which would handle carries properly just not very elegantly. + (e.g. correct result, just bad looking code) + -- Fixed bug in mp_sqr which still had a 512 constant instead of MP_WARRAY + -- Added Toom-Cook multipliers [needs tuning!] + -- Added efficient divide by 3 algorithm mp_div_3 + -- Re-wrote mp_div_d to be faster than calling mp_div + -- Added in a donated BCC makefile and a single page LTM poster (ahalhabsi@sbcglobal.net) + -- Added mp_reduce_2k which reduces an input modulo n = 2**p - k for any single digit k + -- Made the exptmod system be aware of the 2k reduction algorithms. + -- Rewrote mp_dr_reduce to be smaller, simpler and easier to understand. + +May 17th, 2003 +v0.17 -- Benjamin Goldberg submitted optimized mp_add and mp_sub routines. A new gen.pl as well + as several smaller suggestions. Thanks! + -- removed call to mp_cmp in inner loop of mp_div and put mp_cmp_mag in its place :-) + -- Fixed bug in mp_exptmod that would cause it to fail for odd moduli when DIGIT_BIT != 28 + -- mp_exptmod now also returns errors if the modulus is negative and will handle negative exponents + -- mp_prime_is_prime will now return true if the input is one of the primes in the prime table + -- Damian M Gryski (dgryski@uwaterloo.ca) found a index out of bounds error in the + mp_fast_s_mp_mul_high_digs function which didn't come up before. (fixed) + -- Refactored the DR reduction code so there is only one function per file. + -- Fixed bug in the mp_mul() which would erroneously avoid the faster multiplier [comba] when it was + allowed. The bug would not cause the incorrect value to be produced just less efficient (fixed) + -- Fixed similar bug in the Montgomery reduction code. + -- Added tons of (mp_digit) casts so the 7/15/28/31 bit digit code will work flawlessly out of the box. + Also added limited support for 64-bit machines with a 60-bit digit. Both thanks to Tom Wu (tom@arcot.com) + -- Added new comments here and there, cleaned up some code [style stuff] + -- Fixed a lingering typo in mp_exptmod* that would set bitcnt to zero then one. Very silly stuff :-) + -- Fixed up mp_exptmod_fast so it would set "redux" to the comba Montgomery reduction if allowed. This + saves quite a few calls and if statements. + -- Added etc/mont.c a test of the Montgomery reduction [assuming all else works :-| ] + -- Fixed up etc/tune.c to use a wider test range [more appropriate] also added a x86 based addition which + uses RDTSC for high precision timing. + -- Updated demo/demo.c to remove MPI stuff [won't work anyways], made the tests run for 2 seconds each so its + not so insanely slow. Also made the output space delimited [and fixed up various errors] + -- Added logs directory, logs/graph.dem which will use gnuplot to make a series of PNG files + that go with the pre-made index.html. You have to build [via make timing] and run ltmtest first in the + root of the package. + -- Fixed a bug in mp_sub and mp_add where "-a - -a" or "-a + a" would produce -0 as the result [obviously invalid]. + -- Fixed a bug in mp_rshd. If the count == a.used it should zero/return [instead of shifting] + -- Fixed a "off-by-one" bug in mp_mul2d. The initial size check on alloc would be off by one if the residue + shifting caused a carry. + -- Fixed a bug where s_mp_mul_digs() would not call the Comba based routine if allowed.
