Hello, Several months ago, Brian created an experimental branch (mpir-exp) that included support for 64-bit native integers in the API on the 64-bit Windows platform. He also integrated the start of a promising new FFT implementation. I updated gmpy2 to use Brian's experimental branch. With the 64-bit integer support, I was able to fix several limitations and bugs on 64-bit Windows platforms.
I assumed that development would continue, the new FFT implementation would be finished, and I could release a real production version of gmpy2 within a reasonable time-frame. Unfortunately, it looks like development of MPIR has stalled. To the best of my knowledge, the FFT implementation has never been finished. MPIR 2.5.2 hasn't been released. Support for 64-bit native integers has not been migrated to trunk. There was flurry of activity a few weeks ago. I was optimistic that development of MPIR would continue. But development seems to have stalled again. Is there a plan to complete the mpir-exp branch? If yes, what is the timeline? If not, please say so. One of the goals of MPIR was predictable releases. Is that still a goal? I would like to release a production version of gmpy2 within a few weeks. I don't want to base a production version on an experimental branch that may never be completed. What should I do? Regards, Case -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mpir-devel" group. To post to this group, send email to mpir-devel@googlegroups.com.
