I am pleased to announce the first release of the LibTomPoly library to the
public. Thanks goto Dan Kaminsky for providing free hosting and domain name
registration. Thanks goto Greg Rose, Martin Marcel and Colin Percival for
helping out.

LibTomPoly is a free public domain open source library which works in
conjunction with LibTomMath to provide polynomial basis arithmetic routines.
The library is not complete and should be considered unstable for the time
being.

I'm releasing the library to get some attention and also to just get all of
the nitty things out of the way [e.g. started the manual, the makefile with
all the build opts like zipup, manual, etc..]. This lets me concentrate
more on coding/documenting then administrative works.

So far the add/sub/mul/div and gcd all work fine over GF(p)[x]. All but
div/gcd work fine over Z[x]. There are a few prominent functions missing
such as pb_invmod [it's included but doesn't work right] and pb_exptmod
[which is a good thing to have around] as well as import/export so we can
store the polynomials in byte arrays [seems like a good idea too]

The URL [for now] is

http://poly.libtomcrypt.org

Dan is going to buy me LibTom.org from which I will be changing the order of
things around [e.g. not centric around LTC]. libtomcrypt.org will stay
alive for some time yet though so no worries there.

If you spot anything that is wrong or needs improvement please email me.
I'll credit you for the effort and I do appreciate any help I can get making
things better all around..

Thanks,
Tom
