What's New: New Features in Version 14.x of Prime95

# NEW FEATURES IN VERSION 14.x of PRIME95.EXE

## New Features in Version 14.3 of Prime95

1. The Pentium Pro factoring code is nearly twice as fast compared to version 14.2.
2. When creating an intermediate file, instead of deleting the previous intermediate file it is renamed just in case there is a machine crash before the new intermediate file is written to disk.
3. Factoring is now 6% faster.
4. The program is now "network-enabled". See network.txt for more details.
5. A bug in stopping and continuing when factoring in Version 8 has been fixed.

## New Features in Version 14.2 of Prime95

1. Corrected floating point round-off bugs in the factoring code that affected testing factors larger than 2^59.
2. The Pentium factoring code is 5-10% faster.
3. When an error is detected the program now waits 5 minutes before restarting from the last save file.
4. The detection of corrupt save files has improved.
5. The Advanced/Time feature now displays the estimated time to test an exponent.

## New features in Version 14.1 of Prime95

1. The Pentium factoring code is 5% faster.

## New features in Version 14.0 of Prime95

1. The program can now check exponents up to 5.26 million! To test these big exponents, you will need a new database and great patience.
2. The per-iteration error checking code has been improved. It will detect more errors and automatically restart from the previous save file.
3. Options/Tray Icon can be used to have prime95 occupy just a small part of the taskbar.
4. Options/No Icon can be used to have prime95 removed from the taskbar. Read the warnings in the readme file before using this feature.
5. Options/Preferences now has a checkbox to let you send results to a file called "results.txt" rather than "results".
6. Options/CPU now has a Cyrix checkbox. There is no Cyrix-specific code. This change provides better estimates in Range/Status.
7. Options/Torture Test runs a continuous Self Test. This is great for "burning in" a new machine.
8. The Round-off checking menu choice (which should be turned off) was moved to the Advanced menu.
9. The estimates in Range/Status have been changed slightly. Hopefully, these new estimate are a little more accurate.
10. The Options/Self Test option now takes nine hours.
