microsoft/SEAL v3.5.2

Release 3.5.2

on GitHub

Bug fixes

• Merged pull request PR 178 to fix a lambda capture issue when building on GCC 7.5.
• Fixed issue where SEAL.vcxproj could not be compiled with MSBuild outside the solution (Issue 171).
• SEAL 3.5.1 required CMake 3.13 instead of 3.12; this has now been fixed and 3.12 works again (Issue 167).
• Fixed issue in NuSpec file that made local NuGet package generation fail.
• Fixed issue in NuSpec where XML documentation was not included into the package.

New features

• Huge improvements to SEAL iterators, including seal::util::iter and seal::util::reverse_iter functions that can create any type of iterator from appropriate parameters.
• Added seal::util::SeqIter<T> iterator for iterating a sequence of numbers for convenient iteration indexing.
• Switched functions in seal/util/polyarithsmallmod.* to use iterators; this is to reduce the layers of iteration in higher level code.
• Added macro SEAL_ITERATE that should be used instead of for_each_n.

Other

• Added note in README.md about known performance issues when compiling with GNU G++ compared to Clang++ (Issue 173).
• Merged pull requests that improve the performance of keyswitching (PR #177) and rescale (PR #176) in CKKS.
