[CLN-list] CLN 1.1.9 released

[Richard B. Kreckel]

Good evening,

It is my pleasure to announce the release of CLN 1.1.9.  This is a
maintenance release without any funky new features or any
incompatibilities whatsoever.  There is no reason for an immediate
upgrade if you have been lucky with CLN 1.1.8.  To quote NEWS file:


Algorithmic changes
-------------------

* Input of numbers in bases 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 is now done in linear bit
  complexity as opposed to O(N^2). Useful for all kinds of persistency.

Implementation changes
----------------------

* Fixed several bugs in the integer input and output routines that could be
  blamed for random crashes in the following cases: output in base 32 for
  quite large numbers, input in base 2 for fixnums and input in base 3 for
  fixnums on a 64 bit target.

* Fixed crash when radix specifiers were used in input streams.

* Speed up on x86_64 and ia64 by adding some inline assembly.

Other changes
-------------

* Fixes for compilation on MacOS X and little endian Mips.

Happy hacking
