Dear users,

version 2.1 of CADO-NFS is now available at

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

Changes with respect to the second release candidate:
* Updated README
* Accept all Python versions >= 3.2


>From the NEWS file:

Main changes between cado-nfs-2.0 and cado-nfs-2.1:
* Polynomial selection now runs in two separate phases, size optimization
and root optimization, with improved parameters
* Unit tests added, please run "make check" after building
* Various small speed-ups
* Various bug-fixes
* The wuclient2.py script no longer requires an external download tool
(wget or curl) to download securely via SSL under Python 2
* better support of DL in GF(p); still not fully automatic, nor
independent of third-party software. See README.dlp.


For assistance and bug reports, please post to this mailing list which does
not require registration, but is moderated.

Best regards and happy factoring,
the CADO team
