Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue that prevented the program from working on Windows 7.
  • Fixed a potentially serious issue that may cause incorrect computation*.

*This is caused by a bug in the parallel carry propagation for the VT3 and N63 algorithms. While the issue has never appeared in actual computations or even internal regression tests, it was found while refactoring the relevant code for v0.8.4.

The fix for v0.8.3 is to disable the parallelism with a proper fix coming in v0.8.4. Performance impact should be negligible as it only becomes performance critical during pathological carryout which is extremely rare and does not happen for regular Pi benchmarks.
