pari-2.7.1(STABLE) released


Dear PARI lovers,

I would like to announce the release of pari-2.7.1 (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. 
This release addresses in particular a problem with 'make install' on OS X,
some integer overflows on 32bit systems, and 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. 

  --- For Windows users: ---

An installer package is available at:
<http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/windows/Pari-2-7-1.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
