GNU MPFR 2.4.2 ("andouillette sauce moutarde", patch level 2) is now
available for download from the MPFR web site:http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-2.4.2/ It will also be uploaded to INRIAGforge and to ftp.gnu.org in the next few hours. Thanks very much to those who sent us bug reports and/or tested the release candidates. The MD5's: 89e59fe665e2b3ad44a6789f40b059a0 mpfr-2.4.2.tar.bz2 0e3dcf9fe2b6656ed417c89aa9159428 mpfr-2.4.2.tar.gz f61da10945c3de6962749a5eb70dafd3 mpfr-2.4.2.tar.xz a21eab985b5f67064295b024072a380c mpfr-2.4.2.zip Changes from version 2.4.1 to version 2.4.2: - Security fix in formatted output functions (buffer overflow). - Formatted output functions: 6 is now the default value for empty precision field with %Rf. - Better portability of configure script. - Detection of intmax_t and uintmax_t types. - Improved documentation: mpfr_get_z_exp, mpfr_strtofr, mpfr_get_str and formatted output functions. - Improved message in case of assertion failure. - Test coverage: 97.0% lines of code. - Updated tcmp_ld test to really test the long double. - Some documentation files are installed in $docdir. - Removed mpfr_init_cache (unused and undocumented function). - Fixed the way $CC / $CFLAGS are got from gmp.h (__GMP_CC / __GMP_CFLAGS). - Bug fixes. - Also note that GCC 4.4.0 (only this obsolete version) does not build MPFR 2.4.2 correctly; this is detected by "make check" (failures in tget_z and tpow_all). You can send success and failure reports to <m...@loria.fr>, 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 2.4.2 web page.
