[ANN] fp Plugin 10.0

Using my own fp multi-precision engine, fp Plugin 10.0 for Xojo adds eight new data types:

BigInteger
BigFloat
BigComplex
BigFraction
BigPoly
BigFloatMatrix
BigComplexMatrix
BigFractionMatrix

The matrix types are new to v. 10.0. BigFractionMatrix replaces BigMatrix.

All types have unlimited precision.

Added functions for BigPoly allow factoring monic integer polynomials over GF(p), p prime, and the computation of primitive polynomials which generate finite fields over GF(p^m).

fp Plugin allows you to construct Xojo programs which can handle the eight data types much like doubles and integers are handled. To a large extent the plugin's data types can be freely used with the +, -, *, and / operators, and can be used in comparisons. And some of Xojo's functions have been overloaded to take the plugin's data types, where it makes sense to do so.

fp Plugin is compiled for Mac, Windows, and Linux for both 32 and 64 bit applications.

I am releasing fp Plugin as freeware with an easy-to-meet license. It is unconditionally available for any use, but is without warranty.
