It was tested from Version V5R4 onwards and recently re-built to run on V7R3 of the OS. A number of slight changes were made to allow the compiles to work which have been documented in the CHANGELOG.TXT file.<br \/><br \/>\r\n\r\nThe source can be downloaded and installed using the RELIC Package Manager, we have added a build file that will download the source and build the objects automatically. This is a pre-release version which we hope some will download and test on their own systems. Once we have proved the install process we will create a formal release.<br \/><br \/>\r\n\r\nAny problems log via GitHub, we cannot promise to fix but will try our best.
