2009.04.08: Changes between NTL 5.4.2 and 5.5 from
http://www.shoup.net/ntl/doc/tour-changes.html
* Added the ability to generate a shared library (with help from Tim
Abbott).
* Fixed some standardization issues (with help from Tim Abbot): default
location of installed documentation files now conforms to standards; use
of EOF now conforms to standards.
* Added a callback mechanism to NTL's error reporting function. See
ErrorCallback in tools.txt.
* Added support for the gf2x library for speeding up arithmetic in GF2X
(with help from Emmanuel Thomé).
* In conjuction with the above, I also changed the GF2X so that it works
better with very large polynomials: large blocks of memory are released,
recursive HalfGCD algorithms are used for large polynomials.
* Fixed a bug in void TraceMod(zz_p& x, const zz_pX& a, const
zz_pXModulus& F) (reported by Luca De Feo).
* Fixed a performance issue in various versions of SetCoeff (reported by
Luca De Feo).
* Fixed the declaration of mat_zz_p transpose(const mat_zz_p& a)
(reported by Benoit Lacelle).
So we should be able to drop a couple custom patches.
Cheers,
Michael
