[ANN] Flint-2.9.0 release candidate 2

[Bill Hart]

Hi all,

I have just tagged release candidate 2 of Flint version 2.9, see [1].

This release candidate makes changes to the Flint build system
(internally only; from the user's perspective it still operates the
same way) so we would be pleased to receive reports of any new build
failures.

In particular it should build more easily with MinGW64 now.

There are also numerous critical bugs fixed in this release candidate
(these are new bugs for 2.9 and did not exist in a released version of
Flint).

I am hopeful that this will be the final release candidate and that
Flint will now be released on Friday next week.

Bill.

Works for me --with MPIR and MPFR already installed, and also using
./configure --extensions=..../hmod_mat (am I the only person using
hmod_mat?)

Do you still use MPIR rather than GMP?

Yes but it's a pain in the neck having libgmp.so files around which are not genuine GMP.  It's hard to uninstall ( I don't think that I ever succeeded). If you try to uninstall and reinstall GMP all hell breaks loose. 

This is on Ubuntu by the way.

I don't understand - according to
https://repology.org/project/mpir/versions neither Ubuntu nor Debian
have a system MPIR package.
So this seems to be a hell of your own making.

I'm sure it is. My mpir is built from source.  On a new computer I would avoid building it, but right now what I have does work.
