It's a small point but the title of
#6193: John Cremona: implement elliptic logarithm
is nto really accurate since we already had the elliptic log, but the
implementation has been improved.  Therefore it's not exactly a "new
feature".  (there will be a related new feature soon, namely
"implement complex elliptic logarithm" -- up to now we only have the
real case).

Next time I'll change the ticket title before it's too late!
