TRIP : new release 1.2.26

[Mickaël Gastineau]

It is with great pleasure that I am able to announce the minor release of TRIP version 1.2.26

You may download it from http://www.imcce.fr/trip/


Here's a list of the new features available in TRIP 1.2.26 :

The enhancements are :
- TRIP supports computers up to 1024 cores (instead of 255).
- The scalability was improved on large NUMA computers
(tested on computers with 128 cores and 256 cores).
- The function dimtovnumR supports multiple dimensional arrays.
- The declaration of arrays supports a step different from 1.
- The typeof function on numerical vectors returns a different value
if the vector is real or complex.
- The function integnum may return the results as an array of numerical vectors.
- The function stat displays more information.
- The performance of the polynomials powering in _mode=POLPV was improved.
- The SCSCP server supports the version 1.2 of the protocol
for the compatibility with the SCSCP client of maple 16.
- upgrade the SCSCP C Library to version 0.7.0 (www.imcce.fr/trip/scscp/)

The bug fixes are :
- A slowdown with operations with arrays have been fixed (regression of the version 1.2.24).
- The macro_optargs displays a wrong message with arrays.
- The operator <= with long integers could return bad results with some input values.
- The operator vnumR[...] hangs when _mode=NUMFPMP.
- The function msg does not force to display the sign of numbers with _mode=NUMQUAD
if the format includes the sign.
- The reading of formatted text (read) could hang with several invalid arguments.
- The symbol pi and infinity of the content dictionary nums1 are recognized.
- If _mode was changed inside a macro, it could generate internal error.
- Several bugs were fixed with _mode=POLPV or POLYV.
