        !          1203:   Fixed:
        !          1204:     1- rare bug in gadd (PADIC + PADIC) which caused one of the arguments
        !          1205:        to be overwritten
        !          1206:     2- typos in refcard
        !          1207:     3- galois.c still couldn't compile on the HP (_INCLUDE_POSIX_SOURCE)
        !          1208:     4- introduced in 2.0.2: item 14 used gexpo incorrectly (bnfinit sometimes
        !          1209:        did not give units it could have computed)
        !          1210:     5- replaced INFINITY by pariINFINITY in rootpol.c (cancels Warning on OS/2)
        !          1211:     6- on OS/2, target ../gp-$dft in o.xxx/Makefile could not be built
        !          1212:        (extraneous $exe_suff)
        !          1213:     7- command line switches so that one can enter them with or without white
        !          1214:        space (new function read_arg in gp.c)
        !          1215:     8- setdcolors so that it can't unset disable_colors if we are under emacs
        !          1216:    11- random did not check its argument correctly (random(2^32) was accepted)
        !          1217:    12- b=10; for(a=1,b, b=2) exited immediately, whereas the upper bound is
        !          1218:        supposed to be evaluated only once
        !          1219:    13- reorganized the error recovery system (initially because errpile could
        !          1220:        cause SEGV on Linux systems)
        !          1221:    14- typo. problems in doc and refcard (interletter spacing in $nfz$...)
        !          1222:

        !          1225:     2- pari.menu and pariemacs.txt rewritten, pari.el updated
        !          1226:     3- expanded the man gp.1 to mention command line switches
        !          1227:     4- the implied input from non-interactive input command (like extern and
        !          1228:        read) does not go into the GP history (%x) anymore (it never went into
        !          1229:        readline's). The final output (value of last expression evaluated) of
        !          1230:        course still does!
        !          1231:     5- updated chapter 5 of the User's Manual (removed obsolete information)
        !          1232:

        !          1237:     3- colors under Emacs
        !          1238:        1) emulate exactly the "colors" default after a M-x gp
        !          1239:        2) .gp files edited get a special highlighting
        !          1240:     4- a flag to default() to get the result under GP
        !          1241:     5- overloaded the "." (member) operator to concatenate as strings if LHS is
        !          1242:        a string
        !          1243:     6- .gprc accepts some limited preprocessing directive (#if READL and
        !          1244:        #if EMACS (and #ifnot as well)). Updated lib/gprc.default to reflect the

        !          1258:     4- test mode did not prevent all prompt expansion (==> bug in make test)
        !          1259:     5- gphelp stopped abruptly when meeting a cross-referencing macro
        !          1260:     6- zetainit now aborts cleanly when disc. too big (caused memory fault)
        !          1261:     7- exceedingly rare bug in the printing of real numbers (missing decimals)
        !          1262:     8- too early rounding in polroots which in rare cases made GP think some
        !          1263:        error had happened
        !          1264:     9- text overflowed the manual pages (and tutorial) on non-A4 paper
        !          1265:    10- polred incorrectly assumed that nf arguments were totally real (in a non
        !          1266:        critical part: that just led to some unnecessary computations)
        !          1267:    11- polred(f,2) could try to overwrite universal integer gzero
        !          1268:    12- check if we are using GNU as or GNU ld in Configure
        !          1269:    13- empty -R argument to $CC when building GP without graphics (==> link
        !          1270:        failed)
        !          1271:    14- bnfinit acts sensibly when fundamental units are too large (before:
        !          1272:        "overflow in R*R")
        !          1273:    15- cleaned up buch2.c (removed ideallllredpart1, removed gerepile in
        !          1274:        class_group_generators(), not_given now called from getfu)
        !          1275:    16- nfgaloisconj(...,2) was unusable (tried an illegal multiplication)
        !          1276:    17- is_totally_split was very inefficient (==> nfgaloisconj was very slow)
        !          1277:    18- some unimportant typos (gexpo) in polgalois
        !          1278:    19- compiling without readline gave a Warning in gp.c (already_hist)
        !          1279:    20- some make programs don't like $< (suppressed from doc/Makefile)
        !          1280:    21- ellap sometimes assumed wrongly that coeffs of the curve were integers
        !          1281:    22- flag 0 and 1 in ellap had been mixed up
        !          1282:    23- print an extra \n before an error message if last output did not
        !          1283:        include it
        !          1284:    24- component(any non recursive type) gave a SEGV
        !          1285:    25- suminf / prodinf / prodeuler assumed they treated a real expression
        !          1286:    26- lindep / algep had problems with numbers having a rational component
        !          1287:    27- last significant digits of bessel* and hyperu were wrong (now only the
        !          1288:        last one is)
        !          1289:    28- expi now returns a long as documented (expi(gzero) returned 0 on 64-bit
        !          1290:        machines!)
        !          1291:    29- g++ could not compile libpari.a (casts missing, extraneous extern "C",
        !          1292:        faulty inline, etc.)
        !          1293:    30- cleaned up the enums in gp.h
        !          1294:    31- incorrect target veryclean in doc/Makefile

        !          1299:        numbered consecutively
        !          1300:     3- gexpo now accepts exact 0 arguments (return -HIGHEXPOBIT)
        !          1301:        gexpo for complex numbers now return max(gexpo(Re), gexpo(Im))
        !          1302:     4- parts of lib/gprc.default
        !          1303:     5- the second argument of subgrouplist is now optional

        !          1321:        generator was ridiculously small for some buchxxx functions). Change
        !          1322:        the bench results (in a non essential way)

        !          1326:       v[i]++ / v[i]-- caused a weird error message
        !          1327:     6- subgrouplist() could end up by a SEGV on Linux systems
        !          1328: LG  7- on HP-UX, flag -Aa not taken into account in Configure (caused it to
        !          1329:        fail on has_TIOCGWINSZ.c)
        !          1330: LG  8- added a missing #define _INCLUDE_POSIX_SOURCE in galois.c
        !          1331:        (7 & 8 independently fixed by OV)
        !          1332: GN  9- the script examples/cl.gp called vecconcat() instead of concat()

        !          1342:    18- string() in compatibility mode corrupted the stack
        !          1343:    19- it is now safe to have colours in prompt and input line under readline
        !          1344:    20- default colours restored upon exiting
        !          1345:    21- default colors in lib/gprc.default used 0 instead of -1 for "no color"
        !          1346:    22- psi and lngamma could give wrong results when the argument was not real
        !          1347:    23- the make test-graphic bench was missing a newline

        !          1351:    27- typos in ggcd (cases nobody will ever access: gcd of a non-reduced

        !          1353: LG 28- incorrect handling of integrals of vectors
        !          1354:    29- gcd of polynomials with non-exact coeffs gave stupid results (they are
        !          1355:        still often wrong, since the mathematical notion is rather imprecise)
        !          1356:    30- typos in rnfkummer (incorrect flag handling)
        !          1357:    31- typo in idealpowprime (negative exponent gave wrong denominator)
        !          1358:    32- multiplication t_COMPLEX x t_COMPLEX used 4 mult. instead of 3
        !          1359:    33- some modular functions (j, f, f2) rewritten to take advantage of new eta
        !          1360:        function (trueta)

        !          1365:        default)
        !          1366:     2- /usr/local/lib/pari/data is a better place for the Galois resolvents
        !          1367:        (which are not included yet in the standard distribution)
        !          1368:     3- The example for prompt in gprc.default to discuss escape sequences under
        !          1369:        readline
        !          1370:     4- Configure now starts by searching the toplevel directory for a temporary
        !          1371:        readline installation
        !          1372:     5- The output of default(colors) was confusing. It is a string now
        !          1373:     6- third argument of polinterpolate can be arbitrary and is now optional
        !          1374:        ("x" by default) (it had to be numeric)
        !          1375:     7- directory configure renamed config, some of the Makefiles in there as
        !          1376:        well (to avoid confusion)
        !          1377:     8- the low_stack macro to facilitate dynamic stack expansion
        !          1378:     9- if, back to GP main loop, the last command was a print1(), output an
        !          1379:        extra newline. This way the prompt is guaranteed to be anchored on
        !          1380:        column 1 (suppresses a readline display bug as well)
        !          1381:    10- Due to 9, pari.el now supposes the prompt starts in col. 1
        !          1382:    11- Better handling of version numbers (LG)
        !          1383:    12- decodefactor() renamed to factorback()

        !          1395:     4- file examples/Inputrc (example of .inputrc for readline)
        !          1396:     5- Weber f1 function implemented
        !          1397:     6- Karatsuba multiplication t_REAL x t_REAL (development code, not used by
