Changes to SPRNG 5.0

How is version 5.0 different?

  1. The pack and unpack functions are incompatible with all previous versions of SPRNG.
  2. SPRNG 5.0 is otherwise backwards compatible with SPRNG 4.0.
  3. In SPRNG 5.0, compiling with MPI functions and the Fortran interface are now both optional.
  4. If the TestU01 suite of statistical tests is installed, a set of test files using that suite can now be generated in the TESTS/testu01 directory.
  5. When the Fortran interface is installed, SPRNG 5.0 should usually detect the Fortran name mangling scheme automatically.
  6. When adding a new generator, there are now two templates. One uses double pointers to handle dynamically sized containers, as in SPRNG 4.0. The new template uses std::vector.
  7. Fixed various issues with .checksprng and the PMLCG.
