tr() doesn't work over F2^p about galoisfields.jl HOT 5 CLOSED

FYI I just released v1.1 which includes this fix and some dependency updates.

from galoisfields.jl.

Thanks for reporting! I'll submit a fix shortly. In the meantime, could you confirm for me that defining the following is a workaround?

julia> function GaloisFields._downgrade(F::Type{GaloisFields.PrimeField{I, 2}}, i::GaloisFields.BinaryField) where I
    i.n == (i.n & 1) || throw(GaloisFields.InclusionError("$i is not contained in $F"))
    return F(i.n & 1)
end

from galoisfields.jl.
