pari-2.5.1 (STABLE) released

[Bill Allombert <Bill.Allombert@math.u-bordeaux1.fr>]

Dear PARI lovers,

I would like to announce the release of pari-2.5.1 (STABLE). The sources
and a basic Windows binary are available from

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

This is a BUGFIX release for the stable branch, fixing 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.

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/ )

Have fun,

  Bill and Karim

    3- qfbred(t_QFR) wrong when frac( sqrt(D) ) > 0.5                      [F06]
    4- problems with diagnostic messages when changing a 'default', e.g \o3[F08]
    5- divru() could call bfffo(0) => overflow in expo()                   [F09]
