I also think the bit about Magma using an old fpLLL may be out-of- date. Damien Stehle recently did quite a bit of work for the Magma group. I'm not 100% sure it's been updated in the latest released Magma, but I would be surprised to find it hadn't been.
Not to worry though, Damien has been a great source of help and information for Andy Novocin and I as we've been improving our own version of fpLLL in FLINT. My understanding is that for certain problems at least, the FLINT version of fpLLL will be faster again.The developments in LLL are currently pretty hard to keep up with. It's a field that is developing at breakneck pace! I imagine FLINT's version of fpLLL will be completely outdated within 24 hours of release, LOL (yes, we still haven't released it, but we are nearly there)! Bill.
