We are pleased to announce the release of GNU MPC 1.1.0, a C library for the
arithmetic of complex numbers with arbitrarily high precision and correct
rounding of the result. GNU MPC extends the principles of the IEEE-754
standard for fixed precision real floating point numbers to complex numbers,
providing well-defined semantics for every operation. At the same time, speed
of operation at high precision is a major design goal.
Version 1.1.0 can be downloaded together with its GnuPG signature from the
GNU web site as
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mpc/mpc-1.1.0.tar.gz
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mpc/mpc-1.1.0.tar.gz.sig
For documentation, see the web site of GNU MPC at

Bug reports and other comments may be addressed to the mailing list at
https://lists.gforge.inria.fr/mailman/listinfo/mpc-discuss ;
a previous subscription to the list is not required (but the moderation
may take a bit longer then).
Noteworthy changes include the following:
- Minimally required library versions: GMP 5.0.0 and MPFR 3.0.0
- Fixed issues with MPFR 4.0.0
- New functions: mpc_cmp_abs, mpc_rootofunity
- Improved speed for corner cases of mpc_asin, mpc_sin, see
http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/pipermail/mpc-discuss/2013-December/001266.html
- Rewrite of the testing framework
- New mpcbench tool, used with "make bench"
- Fixed handling of over- and underflows with directed rounding in the
"other direction" for mpc_cos, mpc_sin, mpc_exp and mpc_pow, see
http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/pipermail/mpc-discuss/2015-March/001336.html
- Fixed a bug in mpc_atan(0,y) with |y| near 1, see
http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/pipermail/mpc-discuss/2017-March/001404.html
Happy hacking,
Andreas Enge and Paul Zimmermann
