1 XXX XXth, 2019
2 v1.2.0
3 -- A huge refactoring of the library happened - renaming,
4 deprecating and replacing existing functions by improved API's.
5
6 All deprecated functions, macros and symbols are only marked as such
7 so this version is still API and ABI compatible to v1.x.
8
9 -- Daniel Mendler was pushing for those changes and contributing a load of patches,
10 refactorings, code reviews and whatnotelse.
11 -- Christoph Zurnieden re-worked internals of the library, improved the performance,
12 did code reviews and wrote documentation.
13 -- Francois Perrad did some refactoring and took again care of linting the sources and
14 provided all fixes.
15 -- Jan Nijtmans, Karel Miko and Joachim Breitner contributed various patches.
16
17 -- Private symbols can now be hidden for the shared library builds, disabled by default.
18 -- All API's follow a single code style, are prefixed the same etc.
19 -- Unified, safer and improved API's
20 -- Less magic numbers - return values (where appropriate) and most flags are now enums,
21 this was implemented in a backwards compatible way where return values were int.
22 -- API's with return values are now by default marked as "warn on unsused result", this
23 can be disabled if required (which will most likely hide bugs), c.f. MP_WUR in tommath.h
24 -- Provide a whole set of setters&getters for different primitive types (long, uint32_t, etc.)
25 -- All those primitive setters are now optimized.
26 -- It's possible to automatically tune the cutoff values for Karatsuba&Toom-Cook
27 -- The custom allocators which were formerly known as XMALLOC(), XFREE() etc. are now available
28 as MP_MALLOC(), MP_REALLOC(), MP_CALLOC() and MP_FREE(). MP_REALLOC() and MP_FREE() now also
29 provide the allocated size to ease the usage of simple allocators without tracking.
30 -- Building is now also possible with MSVC 2015, 2017 and 2019 (use makefile.msvc)
31 -- Added mp_decr() and mp_incr()
32 -- Added mp_log_u32()
33 -- Improved prime-checking
34 -- Improved Toom-Cook multiplication
35 -- Removed the LTM book (`make docs` now builds the user manual)
