Version 1.6 of ArbNumerics.jl is released. This release uses the latest arb C library, which is now encapsulated into FLINT3 (see Real and complex numbers (Arb) : detailed table of contents — FLINT 3.3.0-dev documentation). I felt it important to update the library now, as there were some issues arising with the older unsupported C library. There are a few minor adjustments still needed, though nothing that provides misleading results. This will take some more attention. File issues if you encounter them.
To continue using the prior version:
using Pkg
Pkg.add(name="ArbNumerics", version="1.5.4")
There are reports of M1 OS having issues running this with Julia v1.9, v1.10. If you are using M1 with Julia v1.9 or v1.10 either update to Julia v1.11 or use the prior version of ArbNumerics.
- Use ArbReals with bessel_ functions and any other special functions that do not work given ArbFloats.
And a reminder: to initialize ArbFloats, ArbReals, use the string form of the initializing value; otherwise you initialize with the Float64 approximation.
