Hi all,
The third beta is available. It fixes three more bugs. See the
whatsnew.txt at the end of this email. If your day and night
available memory settings are unequal, then you should replace
version 20.1 with this one.
You can download it from
ftp://entropia.com/gimps/v20/p95setup.exe
or
ftp://entropia.com/gimps/v20/prime95.zip
or
ftp://entropia.com/gimps/v20/mprime.tgz
or
ftp://entropia.com/gimps/v20/sprime.tgz
Regards,
George
New features in Version 20.2 of prime95.exe
-------------------------------------------
1) If P-1 stage 1 completed and there was not enough memory to start
stage 2 immediately, then an incorrect save file was generated. This
bug was introduced in version 20.1. Upon restart of the P-1 factoring
job a crash or other unpredictable behavior was possible. This bug was
fixed and this version has special code to properly read these
incorrect save files.
2) P-1 will restart any time the memory settings change. This is done
so that the optimal P-1 bounds can be computed with the new memory
settings.
3) A bug in ECM testing was fixed.
