• (Bill Allombert) improve PARI ECM implementation
• (john.cremona) adapt interface to new Simon gp scripts
• (john.cremona) elliptic curve isomorphisms, urst transforms of curves and points

• (john.cremona) improved \#E(F_q^d) for elliptic curves defined over F_q

• (malb) speed up GF(p^n) for p \neq 2 and p^n \geq 2^{16} (using NTL::ZZ_pE and NTL::zz_pE)

• (malb) implement quotient rings over multivariate polynomial rings over finite fields using libSINGULAR

• (weinmann) related to malb's point directly above: merge smatlib code into SAGE.
• (weinmann) extend MPolynomialSystemGenerator such that equation systems for (stream and block) ciphers can be generated in a generic way.
