Changelog

This project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

0.3.6 - 2022-09-18

Features

• GCD, greatest common divisor.
• Extended GCD (GCD with Bézout coefficients).
• Modular inverse.
• Modular division.

0.3.5 - 2022-03-12

Bugfixes

• Corrected too-strict lifetimes in modular exponentiation.

Dependencies

• Removed the dependency on const_fn_assert.

0.3.4 - 2021-11-03

Features

• Optional serde support for UBig and IBig.

Toolchain

• Rust 1.49+ is now required.

Dependencies

• Added an optional dependency on serde.

0.3.3 - 2021-10-28

Features

• Mixed-type arithmetic with primitive integer types.

  Allows x + 1 instead of x + ubig!(1).

  This breaks with the convention that arithmetic operators require same type on both sides. A better alternative would be user-defined custom integer literals, so that 1 could be inferred to have type UBig. But Rust does not support this yet. So this is a workaround for the sake of ergonomics.

0.3.2 - 2021-05-02

Toolchain

• Rust 1.47+ is now supported.

Dependencies

• Added a dependency on cfg-if.

0.3.1 - 2021-04-03

Features

• Maximum supported length in bits: UBig::MAX_BIT_LEN.

Fixes

• Broken build for aarch64, mips64 and powerpc64 fixed.

Dependencies

• Added a dependency on const_fn_assert.

0.3.0 - 2021-03-29

Breaking changes

• Removed prelude.
• Split into modules:
  • Moved InRadix to fmt.
  • Moved operator traits to ops.
  • Moved errors to error.
  • Moved distributions to rand.
• Removed deprecated IBig::is_positive, IBig::is_negative. Just compare with ibig!(0) instead.
• Shift left and right now only accepts usize for the number of bits, for consistency with other bit addressing operations and exponents.

0.2.2 - 2021-03-28

Features

• Modular arithmetic: ModuloRing, Modulo.
• Conversions to floating point: to_f32, to_f64. Rounds to nearest, breaking ties to even.
• From<bool> for IBig.

0.2.1 - 2021-03-14

License

• Loosened the license to either MIT or Apache-2.0.

Features

• Implemented num-traits traits.

Deprecated features

• IBig::is_positive, IBig::is_negative. Just use > ibig!(0), < ibig!(0).

Dependencies

• Added optional dependency on num-traits 0.2.14.
• Removed dependency on ascii.

0.2.0 - 2021-03-11

Removed features

• Removed deprecated functions to_str_radix, to_str_radix_uppercase, ilog2.

0.1.2 - 2021-03-09

New features

• bit_len

Deprecated features

• to_str_radix, to_str_radix_uppercase. Use in_radix(...) instead.
• ilog2. Use bit_len instead.

Dependencies

• Added a dependency on static_assertions 1.1.
• Bumped rand to 0.8.3.

Performance

• Large division improved. Now uses a divide and conquer algorithm, O(n^1.47).
• Large parse improved using a divide and conquer algorithm, O(n^1.47).
• Large to_string improved using a divide and conquer algorithm, O(n^1.47).
• Other minor performance improvements.

0.1.1 - 2021-03-03

New features

• Hashing.
• Exponentiation.
• Random sampling (optional dependency on rand 0.8).

Performance

• Multiplication improved, now uses Karatsuba and Toom-Cook-3 algorithms, O(n^1.47).

Examples

• factorial prints 1000000! in hexadecimal.

0.1.0 - 2021-02-25

The initial usable version.

Features

• All basic arithmetic and bitwise operations.
• Parsing and formatting.
• Constructor macros.

Performance

• Operations on very large numbers are still slow.
