I'm happy to announce a maintenance release of the GNU Multiple
Precision Arithmetic Library (GMP). The 5.1.3 release includes a couple
of bug fixes, and no new features. See NEWS excerpt below for details.
The release is available at
ftp://ftp.gmplib.org/pub/gmp/gmp-5.1.3.tar.lz
ftp://ftp.gmplib.org/pub/gmp/gmp-5.1.3.tar.xz
ftp://ftp.gmplib.org/pub/gmp/gmp-5.1.3.tar.bz2
as well as on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gmp/ and its mirrors.
Note that GMP exercises the corners of C arithmetic, and is likely to
trigger C compiler bugs. Always run make check after building the
library, and do *not* use the library if the testsuite fails.
Further information, including the GMP manual, is available at the GMP
homepage, http://gmplib.org/.
On behalf of the GMP team,

Changes between GMP version 5.1.2 and 5.1.3
BUGS FIXED
* The internal functions mpn_sbpi1_div_qr_sec mpn_sbpi1_div_r_sec could
compute garbage with a low probability. They are now rewritten, and the
test code has been improved.
* A bug in the ia64 implementation of mpn_divrem_2, clobbering some
callee-save registers, has been fixed. This is an internal
function, with the bug manifesting itself as miscomputation in,
e.g., mpn_sqrtrem.
* The documentation now correctly says 'const' for input arguments.
SPEEDUPS
* None.
FEATURES
* None.
MISC
* None.
