About BigInt release 1.24.0:
-
It is backwards compatible with release 1.23.0.
-
It contains two new division methods 'quotientAndRemainderCeil' and 'quotientAndRemainderFloor'
which rounds the quotient towards +Infinity and -Infinity, respectively. -
It turns out that the ToomCook-3 multiplication algorithm is faster than the
Schonhage-Strassen FFT based algorithm, even for very large numbers. Therefore
Schonhage-Strassen is not used anymore. -
Faster modInverse method when the modulus is a power of 2.
