pari-2.7.4(STABLE) released


Dear PARI lovers,

I would like to announce the release of pari-2.7.4 (STABLE). The sources
and Windows binaries are available from

  http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/download.html

This is a BUGFIX release for the stable branch. 
This release addresses all significant problems that could be fixed in a
simple, harmless way. However we strongly encourage you to upgrade since it
fixes a number of cases where PARI was returning an incorrect result. 

This release adds support for mingw64 by Eric Driver.

I would like to thanks Eric Driver for porting PARI to mingw64 
and Daniel R. Grayson for testing the PARI 64-bit windows installer.

  --- For Windows users: ---

A 64-bit installer package is available at:
<http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/windows/Pari64-2-7-4.exe>

A 32-bit installer package is available at:
<http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/windows/Pari32-2-7-4.exe>

  --- For Android users: ---

  An updated PariDroid package will be available soon.

  --------------------------

Thanks to all those who reported problems, on the mailing lists or through
our Bug Tracking System. ( See http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/Bugs/ ), or
who tested the preleases.

Have fun,

  Bill and Karim
