Changes between MP version 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 |
| |
|
| |
* Bug fixes. |
| |
|
| |
Changes between MP version 4.1 and 4.1.1 |
| |
|
| |
* Bug fixes. |
| |
* New systems supported: NetBSD and OpenBSD sparc64. |
| |
|
| |
Changes between MP version 4.0.1 and 4.1 |
| |
|
| |
* Bug fixes. |
| |
* Speed improvements. |
| |
* Upwardly binary compatible with 4.0, 4.0.1, and 3.x versions. |
| |
* Asymptotically fast conversion to/from strings (mpz, mpq, mpn levels), but |
| |
also major speed improvements for tiny operands. |
| |
* mpn_get_str parameter restrictions relaxed. |
| |
* Major speed improvments for HPPA 2.0 systems. |
| |
* Major speed improvments for UltraSPARC systems. |
| |
* Major speed improvments for IA-64 systems (but still sub-optimal code). |
| |
* Extended test suite. |
| |
* mpfr is back, with many bug fixes and portability improvements. |
| |
* New function: mpz_ui_sub. |
| |
* New functions: mpz_export, mpz_import. |
| |
* Optimization for nth root functions (mpz_root, mpz_perfect_power_p). |
| |
* Optimization for extended gcd (mpz_gcdext, mpz_invert, mpn_gcdext). |
| |
* Generalized low-level number format, reserving a `nails' part of each |
| |
limb. (Please note that this is really experimental; some functions |
| |
are likely to compute garbage when nails are enabled.) |
| |
* Nails-enabled Alpha 21264 assembly code, allowing up to 75% better |
| |
performance. (Use --enable-nails=4 to enable it.) |
| |

|
| |
* Bug fixes. |
| |
* Speed improvements. |
| |
* Upwardly binary compatible with 3.x versions. |
| |
* New CPU support: IA-64, Pentium 4. |
| |
* Improved CPU support: 21264, Cray vector systems. |
| |
* Support for all MIPS ABIs: o32, n32, 64. |

| |
* New C++ class interface by Gerardo Ballabio (beta). |
| |
* Revamped configure, featuring ABI selection. |
| |
* Speed improvements for mpz_powm and mpz_powm_ui (mainly affecting small |
| |
operands). |
| |
* mpz_perfect_power_p now properly recognizes 0, 1, and negative perfect |
| |
powers. |
| |
* mpz_hamdist now supports negative operands. |
| |
* mpz_jacobi now accepts non-positive denominators. |
| |
* mpz_powm now supports negative exponents. |
| |
* mpn_mul_1 operand overlap requirements relaxed. |
| |
* Float input and output uses locale specific decimal point where available. |
| |
* New gmp_printf, gmp_scanf and related functions. |
| |
* New division functions: mpz_cdiv_q_2exp, mpz_cdiv_r_2exp, mpz_divexact_ui. |
| |
* New divisibility tests: mpz_divisible_p, mpz_divisible_ui_p, |
| |
mpz_divisible_2exp_p, mpz_congruent_p, mpz_congruent_ui_p, |
| |

| |
* Other new rational functions: mpq_abs, mpq_cmp_si, mpq_div_2exp, |
| |
mpq_mul_2exp, mpq_set_f. |
| |
* New float tests: mpf_integer_p, mpf_fits_sint_p, mpf_fits_slong_p, |
| |
mpf_fits_sshort_p, mpf_fits_uint_p, mpf_fits_ulong_p, mpf_fits_ushort_p. |
| |
* Other new float functions: mpf_cmp_d, mpf_get_default_prec, mpf_get_si, |
| |
