[Alexander Kruppa <alexander.kruppa@inria.fr>]

Dear users,

a second alpha release for CADO 2.0 is available for testing.

The source tarball

cado-nfs-2.0alpha_55e97b6a.tar.gz

can be found at

https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/?group_id=2065


Changes w.r.t. the first alpha release:

Check for Python 3 and the Python sqlite3 module at CMake configuration time. 
The check can be suppressed by setting NO_PYTHON_CHECK in local.sh.

An underscore '_' in the project name no longer confuses cadofactor.py.

Several minor cleanups.


The warning from the first alpha still applies: the cadofactor.py script and 
its worker clients should communicate only over a trusted network at the 
present time.


We are very grateful to Paul Leyland for testing the first alpha release and 
pointing out several problems to us!


Thanks and happy factoring,

The CADO team
