v0.0.15¶

Released May 12, 2021

Breaking changes¶

• Rename poly_exp_mod() to poly_pow() to mimic the native pow() function.

• Rename fermat_primality_test() to is_prime_fermat().

• Rename miller_rabin_primality_test() to is_prime_miller_rabin().

Changes¶

• Massive linear algebra speed-ups. (See #88)

• Massive polynomial speed-ups. (See #88)

• Various Galois field performance enhancements. (See #92)

• Support np.convolve() for two Galois field arrays.

• Allow polynomial arithmetic with Galois field scalars (of the same field). (See #99), e.g.

>>> GF = galois.GF(3)

>>> p = galois.Poly([1,2,0], field=GF)
Poly(x^2 + 2x, GF(3))

>>> p * GF(2)
Poly(2x^2 + x, GF(3))

• Allow creation of 0-degree polynomials from integers. (See #99), e.g.

>>> p = galois.Poly(1)
Poly(1, GF(2))

• Add the four Oakley fields from RFC 2409.

• Speed-up unit tests.

• Restructure API reference.
