[ANNOUNCEMENT] big_int-1.0.7 (stable) Released.

The new PECL package big_int-1.0.7 (stable) has been released at http://pecl.php.net/. Release notes ------------- + improved memory management in big_int library (see big_int_create() and big_int_realloc() functions) * fixed bug int big_int_or(), big_int_add(), big_int_xor() and big_int_andnot(). These functions returns wrong result if start position != 0 * fixed bug in big_int_rand() function. Sometimes it returns unexpected (negative) numbers * fixed number overflow bug in big_int_create() and big_int_realloc() functions * fixed compilation bug under FreeBSD 4 (it doesn't have ANSI C99 stdint.h header file) ( thanks to HitMan http://webpark.ru ) * fixed compilation bug under unix, which fails building bundled into PHP package * windows-style carriage returns \r\n replaced by unix-style \n in all files, except MSVC-related *.dsp, *.dsw, *.sln & *.vcproj Package Info ------------- Functions from this package are useful for number theory applications. For example, in two-keys cryptography. See /tests/RSA.php in the package for example of simple implementation of RSA-like cryptoalgorithm. See http://pear.php.net/packages/Crypt_RSA/ project for more complex implementation of RSA-like crypto, which supports key generating, encrypting/decrypting, generating and validating of digital sign. The package has many bitset functions, which allow to work with arbitrary length bitsets. This package is much faster than bundled into PHP BCMath and consists almost all functions, which are implemented in PHP GMP extension, but it needn't any external libraries.
