Version 2.4.1-4 of mpfr/libmpfr1/libmpfr-devel for cygwin-1.7 has been
uploaded. This release is intended provide a DLL that can be
successfully rebased, unlike the DLL in version 2.4.1-3.
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION
===================
Homepage: http://www.mpfr.org
License : GNU LGPL 2.1 or later
The MPFR library is a C library for multiple-precision floating-point
computations with exact rounding (also called correct rounding). It is
based on the GMP multiple-precision library. The main goal of MPFR is
to provide a library for multiple-precision floating-point computation
which is both efficient and has a well-defined semantics. It copies the
good ideas from the ANSI/IEEE-754 standard for double-precision
floating-point arithmetic.
CHANGES SINCE LAST RELEASE
==========================
The DLL in the 2.4.1-3 release could not be rebased, which broke
applications such as gcc-4. This was an unexpected consequence of the
move to compiling with gcc-4.
This 2.4.1-4 release is rebuilt using CVS binutils and using the
-shared-libgcc option, which seems to solve the problem.
INSTALL OR UPGRADE NOTES
========================
Standard install.
