# Magma V2.27-8 Patch Notes

## Algebraic Curves

- A bug in `LPolynomial(C)` applied to a certain class of curves has been fixed.  Reported by A. Sutherland.

## Algebraic Number Fields

- An oversight in which a computed maximal order was not stored on the field has been fixed, resulting in no recomputation of known orders. Reported by L. Combes.
- Testing some not yet known to be principal integral ideals of non maximal orders for principality has been fixed. Reported by M. Kirschmer.

## Coding Theory

- A crash involving the deletion of codes after [`SymplecticDual`](../CodingTheory/QuantumCodes/inner-products.md#function-symplecticdual-codeadd) had been called has been fixed.  Reported by M. Grassl.

## Elliptic Curves

- A crash in `MordellWeilGroup` for an elliptic curve defined over a number field has been fixed.  Reported by S. Schiavone.

## Finite Fields

- A slowdown arising from the creation of a very large number of finite fields with different characteristics has been fixed.

## Groebner Bases

- A bug in Groebner basis computation with a large number of variables in the graded case has been fixed.  Reported by W. Wemyss.
- A crash in the parallel F4 algorithm with the sparse monomial representation (selected when there is a large number of variables) has been fixed.  Reported by M. Grassl.

## Groups

- A new version of the matrix group [`CompositionTree`](../FiniteGroups/MatrixGroupsOverFiniteFields/composition-tree.md#function-compositiontree-grpmat-fldfin) code has been installed.  Code supplied by E. O’Brien.
- A bug in [`MinimalDegreePermutationRepresentation`](../FiniteGroups/Groups/category-transfer.md#function-minimaldegreepermutationrepresentation-grp) has been fixed.  Reported by E. O’Brien.

## Hyperelliptic Curves

- A bug which caused [`ReducedModel`](../ArithmeticGeometry/HyperellipticCurves/creation.md#function-reducedmodel-crvhyp) to hang on some hyperelliptic curves has been fixed.  Reported by E. Costa.

## Rings

- `&*` when applied to polynomials over a non commutative ring has been fixed. Reported by P. Koprowski.
