Re: third release candidate for 2.7.0

["L. Cangelmi" <lcangelmi@unich.it>]

Dear Developers,

I tested the third release this morning, and I see that the stable  
release is exactly the same. I used a computer with processor Intel  
Core2 Duo T7300 and OS Ubuntu 10.04 (linux, x86_64, gmp-4.3.2,  
gcc-4.4.3, readline-6.1). There are no problems when gp is compiled  
with no parallelism. Instead, when using the option --mt-phtread,  
everything goes well, except test-kernel, and I get the following:
---
$ make test-kernel

Moreover, I have two remarks about Appendix A:
1) in the subsection 'Some more testing', test-io and test-time could  
be mentioned; further, note that also make test-ploth produces the  
file pari.ps;
2) the year of the citation model of PARI should be 2014 (not 2012).

Regards,
Leonardo
