+libmath-prime-util-perl (0.35-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  From upstream Changes:  
+
+  0.35  2013-12-08
+
+    [API Changes]
+
+    - We now use Math::BigInt in the module rather than dynamically loading
+      it, and will switch to BigInts as needed.  The most noticeable effect
+      of this is that next_prime() / prev_prime() will switch between BigInt
+      and native int at the boundary without regard to the input type or
+      whether bigint is in effect, and next_prime will never return 0.
+      Additionally, all functions will convert large decimal number strings
+      to BigInts if needed.
+
+      $pref = primes("1000000000000000000000", "1000000000000000000999");
+      is_prime("882249208105452588824618008529");
+      $a = euler_phi("801294088771394680000412");
+

+
+    [API Changes]
+
+    - all_factors now includes 1 and n, making it identical to Pari's
+      divisors(n) function, but no longer identical to Math::Factor::XS's
+      factors(n) function.  This change allows consistency between
+      divisor_sum(n,0) and scalar all_factors(n).
+
+  0.30  2013-08-06
+
+    [API Changes]
+      - Primality proofs now use the new "MPU Certificate" format, which is
+        text rather than a nested Perl data structure.  This is much better
+        for external interaction, especially with non-Perl tools.  It is
+        not quite as convenient for all-Perl manipulation.
