New Features in Version 10 of Prime95

  1. The program will now undergo an hour long self-test before running any Lucas-Lehmer tests in your selected range. This self-test is also available from the menus. You might want to run this when you install new hardware or device drivers.
     
  2. You can now get a status report on your range. Choose Range Status from the menus to get a report on the number of Mersenne numbers left to test, expected time to completion, etc. This information is also displayed whenever you choose a new range with Range Start or Range Next.
     
  3. The File menu has been renamed Range - it seems clearer to beginners.
     
  4. The Advanced menu has been disabled. You must read the readme.txt file to learn how to activate it. This is designed to keep novice users out of trouble. There is no reason, other than curiosity, for you to use any of the Advanced menu choices.
     
  5. A bug in stopping and continuing when factoring in Version 8 has been fixed.
