Changes from version 4.2.1 to version 4.2.2: - In order to resolve a portability issue with the _Float128 fallback to __float128 for binary128 support (e.g. with Clang and glibc 2.41), the prototypes of the corresponding conversion functions had to be changed, with _Float128 replaced by mpfr_float128, where mpfr_float128 is a macro defined as _Float128 by default. This changes neither the ABI nor the API (except that the end user of MPFR would need to define mpfr_float128 as the actual type for the binary128 format if this is not the standard _Float128 type). - Other bug fixes (see <https://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-4.2.1/#fixed> and/or the ChangeLog file). In particular, the formatted output functions behaved incorrectly with %c on the value 0; such a use is uncommon, but this bug may have security implications. - Improved MPFR manual. - Detect the use of GMP's buggy vsnprintf replacement at configure time. With it, the tests of "%a" will be disabled to avoid an assertion failure in the MPFR testsuite. A warning will be displayed in the configure output in such a case. Also, note that due to new tests related to the fix of the formatted output functions with %c on the value 0, failures in the tfprintf and tsprintf tests may be observed if GMP has been built with its vsnprintf replacement (i.e. if GMP detected at configure time that the vsnprintf function from the C library is buggy/non-conforming). This is due to a bug in the vsnprintf replacement from GMP 6.3.0 (official tarball) and below. This could be observed on MS Windows and OpenBSD. To get rid of these failures, either use a fixed version (recommended!) or build the MPFR tests with the MPFR_TESTS_SKIP_CHECK_NULL macro defined. See the INSTALL file for other details. You can send success and failure reports to <m...@inria.fr> (please remove the other mailing-list addresses if they appear in the reply to this message), and give us the canonical system name (by running the "./config.guess" script), the processor and the compiler version, in order to complete the "Platforms Known to Support MPFR" section of the MPFR 4.2.2 web page.
