Changes for version 4.17

  • In Rmpfr_set_default_prec(), Rmpfr_set_prec() and Rmpfr_set_prec_raw(), check that the argument is not less than 2 if mpfr version is less than 4.0.0. (This change was actually applied to Rmpfr_set_default_prec in Math-MPFR-4.16.)
  • Remove all occurrences of "scalar reverse" demos\doubledouble.p and t\subnormal_doubles.t.
  • Add q_add_fr, q_sub_fr, q_mul_fr, q_div_fr and fr_cmp_q_rounded functions.
  • Add Rmpfr_cmp_IV, Rmpfr_cmp_UV, Rmpfr_cmp_sj and Rmpfr_cmp_uj (though the MPFR library currently contains neither mpfr_cmp_sj nor mpfr_cmp_uj).
  • Fix Rmpfr_get_str_ndigits and Rmpfr_get_str_ndigits_alt so that they don't change the inexflag from unset to set. (This was fixed for mpfr_get_str_ndigits in mpfr versions > 4.1.0.)
  • Add new function mpfrtoa.
  • Fix typo in Rmpfr_get_str_ndigits code: https://github.com/sisyphus/math-mpfr/commit/1f47b34b4d6b289bef9a40994f95ff57da3c6952#commitcomment-50313325 Thanks @trizen.
  • Add new functions Rmpfr_acosu, Rmpfr_acospi, Rmpfr_asinu, Rmpfr_asinpi, Rmpfr_atanu, Rmpfr_atanpi, Rmpfr_atan2u, Rmpfr_atan2pi, Rmpfr_powr, Rmpfr_pown, Rmpfr_pow_uj, Rmpfr_pow_sj, Rmpfr_log2p1, Rmpfr_log10p1, Rmpfr_compound_si, Rmpfr_exp2m1 and Rmpfr_exp10m1.
  • Add Rmpfr_pow_IV and Rmpfr_pow_UV
  • Alter decimalize() such that, if a second argument is provided, the function returns the projected number of significant digits. This does not break backward compatibility. (See the POD for elaboration.)
  • Add anytoa() function.
  • Use POSIX in demos/doubledouble.p to fix a (rarely encountered) bug.
  • Refactor IV/UV/NV/PV handling inside overload subs.
