1.6005 2018-04-17
* Fix memory leak in _modinv() (thanks to DANAJ). See CPAN RT #123807.
* The tests now require Test::More version 0.88 or newer.
* Sync test files with Math-BigInt.
* Add test files t/release-test-version.t, t/release-portability.t, and
t/release-cpan-changes.t.
* Use a MANIFEST.SKIP file based on the default file in the ExtUtils-Manifest
distribution.
* Format CHANGES according to CPAN::Changes::Spec.
* Convert test file t/02pod.t to t/release-pod.t and t/03podcov.t to
t/release-pod-coverage.t.
-----------------------------------------
2017-02-05 v1.6004 pjacklam
* Fix typos in POD.
* Update link in SUPPORT section.
* Minor improvements to the documentation (POD).
Update DEPENDS
Upstream changes:
2017-01-11 v1.6003 pjacklam
* Fix syntax for required version of Math::BigInt::Lib.
* Better checking of POD coverage.
* Sync test files with Math-BigInt-1.999808.
2016-12-03 v1.6002 pjacklam
* Use ExtUtils::MakeMaker rather than Module::Install in Makefile.PL
* Don't use Devel::CheckLib. It fails on Windows even in cases where
this distribution would build just fine.
* Update BUGS file.
* Remove author information in LICENSE file.
* Inform that the TODO file is not up to date.
* Remove INSTALL file. The information is in the README file.
2016-11-23 v1.6001 pjacklam
* Sync test files with Math-BigInt-1.999801.
* Correct version number in CHANGES file.
2016-11-15 v1.6000 pjacklam
* Sync test files with Math-BigInt-1.999800.
* Update bundled Devel::CheckLib from v1.03 to v1.07.
* Math::BigInt::GMP is now a subclass of Math::BigInt::Lib, so remove pure
Perl methods from Math::BigInt::GMP that are implemented in the superclass
Math::BigInt::Lib. The methods removed are _digit(), _num(), _nok(), and
_log_int(). The version of _log_int() implemented in Math::BigInt::GMP was
buggy anyway.
* Fix _check() so it doesn't give a "use of uninitialized value" warning if
given an undefined "object".
* Trim whitespace in all files.
* Better use of the functionality in Test::More in t/bigintg.t.
Upstream changes:
2016-04-25 v1.51 pjacklam
* Sync test files with Math-BigInt-1.999719.
2016-04-22 v1.50 pjacklam
* Sync test files with Math-BigInt-1.999718.
2016-01-03 v1.49 pjacklam
* Sync test files with Math-BigInt-1.999714.
2015-12-31 v1.48 pjacklam
* Sync test files with Math-BigInt-1.999713.
2015-12-14 v1.47 pjacklam
* Add patch from Gregor Herrmann (GREGOA) based on code by Dana Jacobsen
(DANAJ) to fix problems with the new() method when Perl is compiled with
support for 64-bit integers, but on platforms when the underlying OS is
32-bit (CPAN RT #71548).
2015-12-03 v1.46 pjacklam
* Add patch from Dana Jacobsen (DANAJ) and add new test file
't/mbi-from-big-scalar.t' regarding CPAN RT #103517.
* Fix spelling in GMP.xs ('modifing' -> 'modifying').
* Whitespace/formatting in t/bigintg.t to make it more readble (for me, at
least) and more in accordance with the 'perlstyle' manpage.
2015-11-09 v1.45 pjacklam
* Sync test files with Math-BigInt-1.999709.
* Required version of Test::More is 0.47.
2015-10-29 v1.44 pjacklam
* Sync test files with Math-BigInt-1.999707.
* Update the README file.
* Remove the files INSTALL and LICENSE as this information is already covered
in the file README.
* Replace 'use vars ...' with 'our ...'. We require a Perl newer than 5.6.0
anyway.
* Required version of Math-BigInt is now 1.999706.
* Add 'Test::More' to TEST_REQUIRES in Makefile.PL.
* Enable 'use warnings'. We require a Perl newer than 5.6.0 anyway.
* Add 'assertlib.*\.exe' to MANIFEST.SKIP, since make generates temporary
files like 'assertlibzxjE4WfG.exe' on Cygwin.
2015-09-21 v1.43 pjacklam
* Sync test files with Math-BigInt-1.999703.

CHANGES
* Add changes for the newest release.
* Reorder change entries into descending chronological order.
lib/Devel/CheckLib.pm
* Update bundled Devel::CheckLib from v1.01 to v1.03.
Makefile.PL
* Update required version of Math-BigInt to 1.9994.
t/01load.t
* Improve formatting of module version information.
t/bigfltpm.t
* Use the correct backend, in this case Math::BigInt::GMP.
* Skip test specific for the Math::BigInt::Calc backend.
t/bigintpm.inc
* Rather than an early exit(), use skip() to skip tests.
t/bigintpm.t
* Use the correct backend, in this case Math::BigInt::GMP.
t/biglog.t
* Use the correct backend, in this case Math::BigInt::GMP. This was correct
in v1.21, but has been wrong since then.
t/bigroot.t
* Use the correct backend, in this case Math::BigInt::GMP. This was correct
up until v1.32, but has been wrong since then.
lib/Math/BigInt/GMP.pm
* Increment Math::BigInt::GMP version number to 1.40.
2015-08-17 v1.39 pjacklam
* Updated test files with those from Math-BigInt-1.9997.
2014-04-03 v1.38 pjacklam
* Updated test files from the Math::BigInt distribution (Peter John Acklam).
* Updated POD (Peter John Acklam)
* Updated bundled Devel::CheckLib from v0.93 to v1.01 (Peter John Acklam).
Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
* Updated test files from the Math::BigInt distribution
* Updated bundled Devel::CheckLib from v0.92 to v0.93
* Math::BigInt::GMP now requires Math::BigInt v1.997
* Include "^MYMETA\.(yml|json)\z" in MANIFEST.SKIP. Whereas META.* are
generated by the distribution author at packaging time, MYMETA.* are
generated by the end user at configure time after any dynamic dependencies
are known.
* Changed Makefile.PL so that a "make dist" makes a META.yml and META.json.
* Updated common test files from the Math::BigInt distribution.
2011-02-26 v1.36 pjacklam (6362 tests)
* Change bigintpm.inc to reflect recent changes in the Math::BigInt
distribution (Peter John Acklam).
* Use a _nok() function more similar to the one in Math::BigInt::Calc
(Peter John Acklam).
2011-02-08 v1.35 pjacklam (6361 tests)
* Rename files for testing signature, module loading, and POD so the names
are within the 8+3 character limit (Peter John Acklam).
* Rename method _nok_ok() to the correct _nok(). There ought to have been a
test catching an error like that (Peter John Acklam).
* Fix _nok() giving wrong output when second input argument is zero
(Peter John Acklam).
* Fix _nok() so it doesn't modify its second input arg (Peter John Acklam).
* Update the included Devel::CheckLib to most recent version as suggested in
RE #63055 (Peter John Acklam).
* Apply "chmod 0644" to the few test scripts that don't already have that
mode (Peter John Acklam).
2011-02-07 v1.34 pjacklam (6361 tests)
* Rename _num() to _str(). The old _num() did exactly what _str() is supposed
to do, according to the API documentation (Peter John Acklam).
* Add a _num() function which (currently) simply numifies the output from
_str() (Peter John Acklam).
* Clean up whitespace (Peter John Acklam).
* Fix POD errors (Peter John Acklam).
* Add _nok() method. Now the old claim that Math::BigInt::GMP conforms to API
version 2 is actually true (Peter John Acklam).
* Edit the test files that were copied from the Math::BigInt distribution, so
we now test Math::BigInt against Math::BigInt::GMP, not Math::BigInt::Calc.
I had forgotten this when I copied the test files from the Math::BigInt
distribution. This reduces the total test count, since some test are not
executed with Math::BigInt::GMP (Peter John Acklam).
* Replace morse code in 'README' with proper text (Peter John Acklam).
* Include '01-load.t' for explicitly testing module loading (Peter John
Acklam).
* Use more generic code in 'pod.t' and 'pod_cov.t' (Peter John Acklam).
2011-01-30 v1.33 pjacklam (6411 tests)
* Fix _modinv() so that it works the same way as _modinv() in other
Math::BigInt libraries: The output arguments are an object and the
corresponding sign, not undef (Peter John Acklam).
* Include most recent versions of the test files from the Math-BigInt
distribution (bigfltpm.inc, bigfltpm.t, bigintpm.inc, bigintpm.t,
biglog.t, and bigroot.t) (Peter John Acklam).
* Include generic SIGNATURE test file (Peter John Acklam).
* Required version of Math::BigInt is now 1.99_05 (Peter John Acklam).
pkgsrc changes:

- require perl>=5.12.2nb1 to get Math::BigInt>=1.90
Upstream changes:
2010-09-23 v1.32 rafl 5559 tests
* Re-upload 1.31 as a stable release without further changes.
2010-09-21 v1.31 rafl 5559 tests DEVELOPMENT RELEASE

2010-09-19 v1.29 rafl 5558 tests DEVELOPMENT RELEASE
* Attempt to fix a bug in the bundled version Devel::CheckLib.
It used to ignore @Config{qw(ccflags ldflags)} and only tried to look for
headers and libraries with the compiler's default include- and lib-paths as
well as those explicitly asked for by the user.
2010-09-17 v1.28 rafl 5558 tests
* Re-upload 1.27 without further changes as a stable release.

* Try to support perls older than 5.8.8 again.
Tested with 5.8.7 and 5.6.2.
2010-09-14 v1.26 rafl 5558 tests DEVELOPMENT RELEASE
* Error out early if libgmp or gmp.h are missing.
* Clone Math::BigInt::GMP instances on thread cloning.
This should make the module threadsafe.
2010-09-10 v1.25 rafl 5536 tests
* Fix tests with Math::BigInt >= 1.90 and depend on it.
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.10.1 -> 5.12.1.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.
sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!
- Updating package for p5 module Math::BigInt::GMP from 1.23 to 1.24
- Setting license to gnu-gpl-v2
