I intend to call for suggestions when the new version will be usable, before the actual release time. However there is something that I don't like about the Rabin-Miller compositeness test : the output is not well defined from a mathematical viewpoint as it depends on a random sequence of bases. I'd prefer a test that returns reproducible results, perhaps by hard-coding the sequence of bases, or letting the user provide them.
