# Magma V2.11-7 Patch Notes

## Algebraic Geometry

- Some bugs involving non-irreducible/reduced curves have been fixed, in particular in `IsAbsolutelyIrreducible`.
- Some bugs involving the empty scheme or empty sets in `(Singular)`[`PointsOverSplittingField`](../AlgebraicGeometry/Schemes/schemes-clusters.md#function-pointsoversplittingfield-clstr) have been fixed.

## Commutative Algebra

- Some bugs involving multivariate resultants have been fixed.
- A bug normalizing multivariate polynomials over valuation rings has been fixed.
- A bug in `MinimalBasis` for inputs containing the zero polynomial has been fixed. (Bug reported by Tony Scholl.)

## Groups

- A memory management problem that allowed the orders of ATLAS groups to be corrupted has been fixed. (Bug reported by Markus Grassl.)

## Rings and Fields

- It is now possible to take `Exp`, `Log` and `Sqrt` of series over rings which contain the rationals. However, it is no longer possible to apply `Exp` to series over finite fields.
- A problem with class groups of imaginary quadratic fields that could result in a crash has been fixed.
- A problem with the computation of [`ReducedDiscriminant`](../GlobalFields/NumberFieldsAndOrders/operation.md#function-reduceddiscriminant-rngord) for certain types of number fields that could result in a crash has been fixed.
- [`RadicalExtension`](../GlobalFields/NumberFields/creation.md#function-radicalextension-rng-rngintelt-rngelt) of a number field by some non-integral element changed the input.

## System

- A bug causing crashes when a memory block greater than 4GB is allocated on 64-bit machines has been fixed. Reported by Bas Braams.
