New description:

 4ti2 version 1.6.5 was just ​released.

 Just released a new version of the mathematical software 4ti2. Version
 1.6.5 is a minor update, which improves error checking while reading
 zsolve input files.

 It also corrects a mistake in the test-suite introduced in version 1.6.3
 released last month, which is included in Sage at the moment and which
 might scare some users. (There was no actual bug.)

 The manual has been updated to include a reference to commands and their
 options and a reference to the C API. All commands now support --help; and
 long options are now available on Mac OS X.


 Should update the package to get these improvements; the updated manual
 may make it easier to support 4ti2's features in Sage (#18325) or perhaps
 to develop a library-based interface to 4ti2.

 (Updated: This ticket was for update to 1.6.4; but I had to release
 another version, 1.6.5, which actually compiles with the gcc version that
 Sage uses.)

 Download the 4ti2 tarfile from
 ​http://www.4ti2.de/version_1.6.5/4ti2-1.6.5.tar.gz to
 SAGEROOT/upstream, checkout the git branch and do sage -f 4ti2 to try the
 new package.
