Is there a ChangeLog? #13

Closed GitMensch closed 4 years ago

GitMensch commented 4 years ago

The ChangeLog file is effectively not there since the fork of GMP occured. The NEWS file has a nice user-viewable change-list - up to 3.0.0.

Is there a documentation about the user-visible changes since 3.0.0 and/or even a "real" ChangeLog (the commit history is not really useful)?

The short answer is no, as I have not been updating the ChangeLog in this repository since we split the Linux and Windows MPIR repositories.

From memory, apart from changes to the MPIR and MPIR.NET Visual Studio build files, there have been two code changes here to correct bugs that are windows specific:

(1) corrections to the Broadwell/AVX x64 Windows assembler code for three logic functions (and_n.asm,, andn_n.asm and ioorn_n.asm),

(2) a correction to mpf/get_d_2exp.c that produced wrong results for 64-bit values on Windows because they got truncated to 32-bits.

As we are not producing releases I cannot answer your query about version numbering.

If you need more information I will do what I can to help.

So it is now closed and the ChangeLog and NEWS file were not updated here or over on @wbhart's repo. (sad face)
