v0.4.2

Released September 5, 2024

Changes

  • Added support for NumPy 2.1. (#567)

    • 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

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)
