Please no new feature requests

I started primesieve in 2010 and primecount in 2013. Since the beginning, my goal for primesieve and primecount was to write libraries that are extremely specialized i.e. primesieve should generate primes as quickly as possible and primecount should count primes as quickly as possible. So unlike many other libraries my goal was never to create a library for doing number theory with lots of number theoretic functions.

After more than a decade of hard work, I am both happy and relieved that I have finally achieved my goals. This means that for me personally, both primesieve and primecount are now feature complete. My new goals for the future are: to maintain primesieve and primecount with hopefully as little effort as possible and to use my free time for my other hobbies.

So I will not accept any new feature requests. However what I still accept is: pull requests that fix bugs (or compiler warnings) and pull requests that improve existing functionality (speed improvements are always welcome).

Thanks for your understanding.
