ECM: new numbers

Some new work units starting with 'ecm_nr_' includes now a new type of number for which we search factors. We want to find factors for near-repdigit numbers. A near-repdigit number is a number whose all digits are the same except one digit somewhere.

EVO for Linux
yoyo@home 24.12.09 um Mitternacht

We fixed a problem, that EVO was not finding it's result on Linux systems. Therefore we run a evo_B* series of short wus to see if now it runs properly. All old evo_A* wus were canceled. Please help to test and run some evo wus on Linux with wine. I would like to wish all participants of yoyo@home a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! As always, many thanks for your continued support of the project. THANK YOU! yoyo
