-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2018-53b2583bef 2018-04-03 13:23:37.415978 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : gap-pkg-guava Product : Fedora 28 Version : 3.14 Release : 1.fc28 URL : https://gap-packages.github.io/guava/ Summary : Computing with error-correcting codes Description : GUAVA is a package that implements coding theory algorithms in GAP. Codes can be created and manipulated and information about codes can be calculated. GUAVA consists of various files written in the GAP language, and an external program from J. S. Leon for dealing with automorphism groups of codes and isomorphism testing functions. Several algorithms that need the speed are integrated in the GAP kernel. The functions within GUAVA can be divided into four categories: - Construction of codes. GUAVA can construct non-linear, linear and cyclic codes over an arbitrary finite field. Examples are HadamardCode, ReedMullerCode, BestKnownLinearCode, QRCode and GoppaCode. - Manipulation of codes. These functions allow the user to transform one code into another or to construct a new code from two codes. Examples are PuncturedCode, DualCode, DirectProductCode and UUVCode. - Computation of information about codes. This information is stored in the code record. Examples are MinimumDistance, OuterDistribution, IsSelfDualCode and AutomorphismGroup. - Generation of bounds on linear codes. The table by Brouwer and Verhoeff (as it existed in the mid-1990s) is incorporated into GUAVA. For example, BoundsMinimumDistance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Changes in version 3.14: - The external binaries from J. S. Leon and Cen Tjhai can now be used on all architectures (Unix/Linux, MacOS, and Windows) - The bug fix for MinimumWeight() from 3.13 was not sufficiently well tested... - The decoding method for cyclic codes fails in certain situations. We are leaving this as a known bug for the moment. - A bug fix for MinimumDistanceLeon() from Alex K. - Lots of clean up of the lib files -- removing old comments, obsolete version strings, leftovers from CVS, etc. - Constructions were added for several of the optimal codes in the bounds tables that were referenced in the now defunct online table by Brouwer and Verhoeff. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #1560989 - gap-pkg-guava-v3.14 is available https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1560989 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program. Use su -c 'dnf upgrade gap-pkg-guava' at the command line.
