This is a minor new release, the API and ABI (Application binary interface) are backwards compatible.

Highlights

primesieve::iterator::next_prime() has been sped up by about 10%. Since primesieve::iterator is also used under the hood for generating an array (or vector) of primes that should also run slightly faster.

I have also removed the https://primesieve.org website because it simply took too much effort to maintain it and make it look nice across all devices, operating systems and browsers. Hence primesieve's main homepage is now its GitHub repo: https://github.com/kimwalisch/primesieve

For Linux package maintainers

primesieve-7.5 includes a new man page written using AsciiDoc. Previously primesieve's man page was generated using the help2man program. primesieve includes a ready to distribute man page at primesieve/doc/primesieve.1. If your Linux distribution requires that man pages must be generated from source you can find the related build instructions here: BUILD.md#man-page-regeneration.
