    • Correction: NumPy 2.1 is still unsupported because Numba 0.60 doesn’t include support.

Contributors

v0.4.3

Released December 9, 2024

Changes

  • Fixed occasional bug in polynomial modular exponentiation. (#575)

  • Fixed occasional bug in square root calculation in extension fields with even degree. (#573)

v0.4.4

Released January 21, 2025

Changes

  • Added support for Python 3.13. (#587)

  • Added support for NumPy 2.1. (#587)

  • Added support for Numba 0.61. (#587)

Contributors

v0.4.5

Released April 13, 2025

Changes

  • Improved performance of linear algebra over finite fields with prime order. This is achieved by using floating-point BLAS implementations, where possible. A 10-100x performance improvement is seen. (#596)

  • Upgraded documentation styling.

Contributors

v0.4.6

Released April 30, 2025

Changes

  • Improved performance further of linear algebra over finite fields with prime order. (#598)

  • Improved TypeError description for arithmetic on FieldArray instances with same order but different irreducible polynomials. (#602)

  • Fixed bug in .log() of scalar 0-dim FieldArrays. (#600)

  • Fixed bug in typing of IterableLike, which didn’t support lists of NDArray. (#602)

Contributors

v0.4.7

Released November 7, 2025

Changes

  • Added support for Numba 0.62. (#618)

  • Added support for shortened non-systematic BCH and ReedSolomon codes. (#607)

Contributors

v0.4.8

Released December 17, 2025

Changes

  • Added erasure decoding to BCH and Reed-Solomon codes. (#621)

  • Added computation of the minimal polynomial of a square matrix. (#621)

  • Added the Möbius function in galois.mobius(). (#621)

  • Added normal element functions galois.normal_element(), galois.normal_elements(), and galois.is_normal_element(). (#621)

  • Added galois.Poly.Like() constructor. (#621)

  • Added support for N-d matrix multiplication. (#621)

  • Fixed minor bugs.

Contributors

v0.4.9

Released December 21, 2025

Changes

  • Added support for Python 3.14.

  • Added future-proofing for upcoming NumPy 2.4 support. (#637)

Contributors

v0.4.10

Released January 1, 2026

  • Deprecated galois.Field() for removal in v0.5.0. (#633)

Features

  • Make FieldArray subclasses hashable based on their properties. (#639)

  • Improved FFT speed (~1.6x speedup) in np.fft.fft() with mixed-radix Cooley-Tukey algorithm. (#620)

Fixes

  • Fixed bug where FieldArray instances couldn’t be unpickled if the FieldArray class had not yet be created. (#639)
