Tar/GZ: http://viff.dk/release/viff-0.7.1.tar.gz Tar/BZ2: http://viff.dk/release/viff-0.7.1.tar.bz2 Zip: http://viff.dk/release/viff-0.7.1.zip Exe: http://viff.dk/release/viff-0.7.1.win32.exe This is bugfix release -- thanks to Sebastiaan and Tomas for finding a nasty bug in the passive multiplication protocol. The NEWS file says: Version 0.7.1, released on 2008-10-09 ------------------------------------- A major bug was fixed in the passive multiplication protocol in the case where 2t + 1 != n. Unit tests were updated for Python 2.6. * Players would do inconsistent recombination of shares in the passive multiplication protocol (Runtime.mul). This resulted in wrong answers being computed when 2t + 1 != n. * Fixed unit tests on Python 2.6. The Bracha broadcast let the players send data to themselves by mistake, and for some reason this was not detected in earlier Python versions. * Profiling information (from a run with --profile) is dumped in player-X.pstats and player-X.prof files for later analysis. * Issue 57: Get rid of Runtime._shamir_share. The method was folded into Runtime.mul. * Issue 69: The installation was simplified by including the ConfigObj library in the VIFF source. A system-wide installation of ConfigObj (if any) will be ignored. -- Martin Geisler _______________________________________________ viff-devel mailing list (http://viff.dk/) viff-devel@viff.dk http://lists.viff.dk/listinfo.cgi/viff-devel-viff.dk
