+##############################################################################
+
+Changes from version 2.4.0 to version 2.4.1:
+- Security fix in mpfr_snprintf and mpfr_vsnprintf (buffer overflow).
+- Configure: new checks for length modifiers 'hh' and 'll' (new in C99)
+ as 'hh' is absent on alpha-OSF1-V5.
+- Miscellaneous corrections in the MPFR manual. In particular,
+ mpfr_inits, mpfr_inits2, mpfr_clears and MPFR_DECL_INIT have been
+ in the public API since MPFR 2.4.0.
+
+Changes from versions 2.3.* to version 2.4.0:
+- The "andouillette sauce moutarde" release.
+- MPFR is now a GNU package.
+- Changes in the behavior of mpfr_strtofr and in its documentation
+ concerning particular cases where the code and the documentation
+ did not match; this change is also present in MPFR 2.3.1.
+- Behavior of mpfr_check_range changed: if the value is an inexact
+ infinity, the overflow flag is set (in case it was lost); this
+ change is also present in MPFR 2.3.2.
+- Function mpfr_init_gmp_rand (only defined when building MPFR without
+ the --with-gmp-build configure option) is no longer defined at all.
+ This function was private and not documented, and was used only in
+ the MPFR test suite. User code that calls it is regarded as broken
+ and may fail as a consequence. Running the old test suite against
+ MPFR 2.4.0 may also fail.
+- New functions:
+ * between a MPFR number and a double: mpfr_add_d, mpfr_sub_d,
+ mpfr_d_sub, mpfr_mul_d, mpfr_div_d, mpfr_d_div,
+ * formatted input/output:
+ mpfr_printf, mpfr_fprintf, mpfr_vprintf, mpfr_vfprintf,
+ mpfr_sprintf, mpfr_snprintf, mpfr_vsprintf, mpfr_vsnprintf,
+ mpfr_asprintf, mpfr_vasprintf.
+ * mpfr_sinh_cosh, mpfr_li2, mpfr_modf, mpfr_fmod, mpfr_rec_sqrt.
+- Configure test for TLS support.
+- Get default $CC and $CFLAGS from gmp.h (__GMP_CC / __GMP_CFLAGS,
+ which are available as of GMP 4.2.3).
+- Documented the fact that mpfr_random and mpfr_random2 will be
+ suppressed in the next release, and that the specification of
+ mpfr_eq may change in the next release (for compatibility with
+ the mpf layer of GMP).
+- Test coverage: 96.7% lines of code
+- Bug fixes.
+
+Changes from versions 2.2.* to version 2.3.0:
+- The mpfr.info file is now installed in the share subdirectory
+ (as required by the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard); see output
+ of "./configure --help".
+- The shared library is now enabled by default. If the MPFR build
+ fails on your platform, try the --disable-shared configure option
+ to disable the shared library.
+- Thread-safe support with Microsoft Visual compiler.
+- New functions mpfr_j0, mpfr_j1, mpfr_jn, mpfr_y0, mpfr_y1, mpfr_yn,
+ mpfr_lgamma, mpfr_remainder, mpfr_remquo, mpfr_fms, mpfr_signbit,
+ mpfr_setsign, mpfr_copysign, mpfr_get_patches.
+- Functions mpfr_sin, mpfr_cos and mpfr_sin_cos improved (argument
+ reduction).
+- More detailed MPFR manual.
+- Improved tests (make check).
+- Bug fixes.
+
+Changes from versions 2.1.* to version 2.2.0:
+- Bug fixes.
+- new functions mpfr_set_overflow, mpfr_set_underflow, mpfr_set_inexflag,
+ mpfr_set_erangeflag, mpfr_set_nanflag, mpfr_erfc, mpfr_atan2, mpfr_pow_z,
+ mpfr_subnormalize, mpfr_const_catalan, mpfr_sec, mpfr_csc, mpfr_cot,
+ mpfr_root, mpfr_eint, mpfr_get_f, mpfr_sech, mpfr_csch, mpfr_coth,
+ mpfr_lngamma.
+- new macro: MPFR_VERSION_STRING
+- Remove the exported MPFR variables from mpfr.h to mpfr-impl.h.
+ (They were undocumented, so programs which respect the API still work).
+- Grep CC and CFLAGS from GMP Makefile if possible.
+- Math functions are faster (both average and worst cases).
+- Better support for long double.
+- Shared library of MPFR.
+- Binary compatible with previous versions if you do not use undocumented
+ features.
+- Thread safe (if built with --enable-thread-safe).
+- Logging facility.
+- Change in the semantics of mpfr_out_str/mpfr_get_str when n_digits=0.
+- Better locale support.
+
+Changes from version 2.1.0 to version 2.1.1:
+- Better way to detect the GMP library.

+ mpfr_get_emax_min, mpfr_get_emax_max, mpfr_inits, mpfr_inits2, mpfr_clears,
+ mpfr_fits_intmax_p, mpfr_fits_uintmax_p, mpfr_clear_erangeflag,
+ mpfr_erangeflag_p, mpfr_rint_round, mpfr_rint_trunc, mpfr_rint_ceil,
+ mpfr_rint_floor.
+- new macros MPFR_DECL_INIT, MPFR_VERSION, MPFR_VERSION_NUM,
+ MPFR_VERSION_MAJOR, MPFR_VERSION_MINOR, MPFR_VERSION_PATCHLEVEL.
+- improved documentation.
+- improved configure.
+- improved portability (library and test suite).
+- It handles correctly non IEEE-754 double.
+- GMP internal files are not needed to install MPFR.
+- It is faster with low-precision floating point.
+- New global flag: ERANGE_FLAG.
+- Binary incompatible with previous versions, but API compatible.
+- mpfr_set_str doesn't allow anymore "@NAN@garbagechar" and "@INF@garbagechar",
+ allows base 0 (detection of the base), prefix (0x, 0b), leading whitespace.
+
+Changes from version 2.0.2 to version 2.0.3:
+- Bug fixes.
+- Support GMP as a shared library (not fully tested).
+
+Changes from version 2.0.1 to version 2.0.2:
+- many bug fixes and other improvements.
+- new functions mpfr_prec_round (replaces mpfr_round_prec), mpfr_get_exp,
+ mpfr_set_exp, mpfr_get_ld, mpfr_set_ld, mpfr_get_d_2exp, mpfr_get_si,
+ mpfr_get_ui, mpfr_nextabove, mpfr_nextbelow, mpfr_nexttoward, mpfr_frac,
+ mpfr_fits_*, mpfr_cmp_d, mpfr_cmpabs, mpfr_erf, mpfr_gamma, mpfr_zeta,
+ mpfr_greater_p, mpfr_greaterequal_p, mpfr_less_p, mpfr_lessequal_p,
+ mpfr_lessgreater_p, mpfr_equal_p, mpfr_unordered_p.
+- removed functions: mpfr_print_binary, mpfr_round_prec (replaced by
+ mpfr_prec_round), mpfr_set_str_raw, mpfr_set_machine_rnd_mode.
+- function mpfr_isinteger renamed mpfr_integer_p.
+- return type of some functions changed from void to int, for consistency.
+- return type of mpfr_set_prec changed from int to void.
+- new values for exponent range.
+- rename internal variables.
+
+Changes from version 2001 to version 2.0.1:
+- new mathematical functions: acos, acosh, asin, asinh, atan, atanh, cosh,
+ base-2 exponential and logarithm, base-10 logarithm, expm1, factorial,
+ pow, pow_si, pow_ui, sinh, tan, tanh, ui_pow, ui_pow_ui
+- other new functions: mpfr_const_euler, mpfr_dim, mpfr_fma, mpfr_hypot,
+ mpfr_min, mpfr_max, mpfr_rint, mpfr_set_inf, mpfr_set_nan
+- new operations with MPZ or MPQ: mpfr_{add,sub,mul,div}_[zq]
+- new predicates: mpfr_inf_p, mpfr_nan_p, mpfr_number_p, mpfr_isinteger,
+- add mechanism to set/check exponent range (overflow, underflow), partially
+ implemented in the mpfr functions.
+- efficiency: mpfr_div is now faster when the divisor has a few limbs
+- rounding: now mpfr_pow implements exact rounding, and most functions return a
+ ternary value indicating the position of the returned value wrt the exact one
+ (thus the return value is now 'int' instead of 'void')
+- complete rewrite of the configuration files
+- mpfr_get_d, mpfr_{add,sub}_one_ulp now get a rounding mode as 2nd argument
+- some function names did change: mpz_set_fr is now mpfr_get_z_exp,
+ mpfr_print_raw is now mpfr_print_binary.
+
+Changes from version 1.0 to version 2001:
+- the default installation does not provide any more access to machine
+ rounding mode, and as a consequence does not compare MPFR results with
+ precision=53 to machine results. Add option -DTEST if you want to have
+ access to machine rounding mode, and to check MPFR results against.
+- the MPFR files do not need <math.h> any more
+- the header file <mpfr.h> was split into <mpfr.h> for exported functions
+ and <mpfr-impl.h> for internal functions. The user should not use functions
+ or macros from <mpfr-impl.h>, since those may change in further releases.
+- <mpfr.h> was modified in order to make easy a C++ interface
+- MPFR now deals with infinities (+infinity and -infinity) and NaN
+- the missing function mpfr_swap is now available
+- mpfr_zeta was removed (was incomplete)
+- mpfr_init and mpfr_init2 now initialize the corresponding variable to 0
+ (like in other initialization functions from GNU MP)
+- in case memory allocation fails, an error message is output
+- several bugs of version 1.0 were fixed
+
+Changes from version 0.4 to version 1.0:
+
+- Version 1.0 now uses a standard configure/make installation.
+- Version 1.0 implements all functions that are available in the MPF class
+ from GMP 3.1 (except mpf_swap) and a header file mpf2mpfr.h is included in
+ the distribution for easy change from MPF to MPFR.
+- Version 1.0 implements new elementary functions: mpfr_sincos
+- Some functions and macros have been renamed: mpfr_log2 is now
+ mpfr_const_log2, mpfr_pi is now mpfr_const_pi, SIGN is now MPFR_SIGN.
+- Version 1.0 uses faster algorithms for mpfr_exp, mpfr_const_pi,
+ mpfr_const_log2. Compare the timings from version 1.0 and version 0.4.
+- Version 1.0 corrects some bugs of version 0.4.
+- The precision of MPFR variables is now named mpfr_prec, which makes it
+ easier to change it, to say unsigned long long. Same for the rounding mode
+ which is called mp_rnd_t.
