+libmath-prime-util-perl (0.58-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  From 0.58 upstream Changes:
+
+    [API Changes]
+
+    - prev_prime($n) where $n <= 2 now returns undef instead of 0.  This
+      may enable catching range errors, and is technically more correct.
+
+    - nth_prime(0) now returns undef instead of 0.  This should help catch
+      cases where the base wasn't understood.  The change is similar for
+      all the nth_* functions (e.g. nth_twin_prime).
+
+    - sumdigits(n,base) will interpret n as a number in the given base,
+      rather than the Pari/GP method of converting decimal n to that base
+      then summing.  This allows sumdigits to easily sum hex strings.
+      The old behavior is easily done with vecsum(todigits(n, base)).
+
+    - binary() was not intended to be released (todigits and todigitstring
+      are supersets), but the documentation got left in.  Remove docs.
