# Magma V2.26-12 Patch Notes

## Algebraic Number Fields

- The algorithm used to compute `IsSubfield` for fields of degree more than 50 has been changed. Previously a root was computed by lifting but this showed to be unnecessarily expensive when for such degrees all roots can be computed in much less time. Reported by A. Pacetti.
- A crash has been fixed in `MaximalOrder` when the `Ramification` parameter is specified and the number field is defined by a non-monic or non integral polynomial. Reported by J. Rouse.
- `ValuationRing`s and `Localization`s of number fields can now be constructed. Requested by A. Markowitz.

## Algebraically Closed Fields

- A crash involving algebraically closed fields defined over a small finite (arising from G-module computations) has been fixed. Reported by D. Benson.

## Elliptic Curves

- A crash in [`TatePairing(P, Q, m)`](../ArithmeticGeometry/EllipticCurvesOverFiniteFields/pairings.md#function-tatepairing-ptell-ptell-rngintelt) where $P$ and $Q$ are equal has been fixed.  Reported by M.R. Houben.

## Local Rings

- $p$-adic rings constructed as a completion of the integers or rationals will now have default precision given by the `Precision` parameter, consistent with completions of number fields. Reported by T. Keller.

## Matrix Algebra

- A crash in `Centre` for matrix algebras with large numbers of generators has been fixed.  Reported by R. Zeier.

## Representation Theory

- A crash in `DirectSumDecomposition(M)` for an $A$-module $M$ has been fixed.  Reported by D. Gvirtz-Chen.

## Series Rings

- Series rings constructed as a completion of a rational function field will now have default precision given by the `Precision` parameter, consistent with completions of function fields. Reported by T. Keller.

## System

- A crash has been fixed when printing multisets whose elements are multisets containing tuples of sets.  Reported by R. van Bommel.

## Valuation Rings

- `ValuationRing`s of algebraic number fields and function fields can now be constructed.
