Happy new year to everybody! CLN release 1.1.6 is sitting at the usual place (*) and will soon propagate to the other two mirrors. This release breaks binary compatiblity in the polynomial sector, so its soname had to be bumped. It contains fixes to make it work with the prereleases of GCC 3.4.0. Hopefully, it will still work when that comes out, but the last two months were quite calm and give reason for optimism. If you are not using CLN's polynomials (and GiNaC isn't doing that internally) and you aren't intersted in GCC 3.4.0, then there is no reason for you to upgrade. Also, it now compiles on Mac OS X, but rumour goes it doesn't link on that platform. Since I don't have access to suitable machines that situation won't change until some Mac afficcionado out there sends in some patches. </Hint>. Regards -richy.
