Changes in version 1.0.1:
  - Switched to automake 1.11.6, see
    https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2012-07/msg00023.html
  - #14669: Fixed extraction of CC from gmp.h
  - Fixed case of intermediate zero real or imaginary part in mpc_fma,
    found by hydra with GMP_CHECK_RANDOMIZE=1346362345

Changes in version 1.0:
  - First release as a GNU package
  - License change: LGPLv3+ for code, GFDLv1.3+ (with no invariant sections)
    for documentation
  - 100% of all lines are covered by tests
  - Functions renamed:
    mpc_mul_2exp to mpc_mul_2ui, mpc_div_2exp to mpc_div_2ui
  - 0^0, which returned (NaN,NaN) previously, now returns (1,+0)
  - Removed compatibility with K&R compilers, untestable due to lack of
    such compilers
  - New functions: mpc_log10, mpc_mul_2si, mpc_div_2si
  - Speed-ups:
    - mpc_fma
  - Bug fixes:
    - mpc_div and mpc_norm now return a value indicating the effective
      rounding direction, as the other functions
    - mpc_mul, mpc_sqr and mpc_norm now return correct results even if there
      are over- or underflows during the computation
    - mpc_asin, mpc_proj, mpc_sqr: Wrong result when input variable has
      infinite part and equals output variable is corrected
    - mpc_fr_sub: Wrong return value for imaginary part is corrected

Changes in version 0.9:
  - New functions:
    - mpc_set_dc, mpc_set_ldc, mpc_get_dc, mpc_get_ldc for converting
      between mpc type variables and C variables of type double _Complex
      or long double _Complex
    - mpc_sin_cos, computing simultaneously the sine and cosine
  - Speed-ups:
    - mpc_pow_si through binary exponentiation
    - mpc_pow_z when the exponent fits in a long
    - mpc_tan through the use of mpc_sin_cos
  - Bug fixes:
    - trigonometric functions: infinite loop due to overflow for large
      arguments
    - mpc_exp: close to infinite loop for argument close to 0
    - mpc_sqrt: close to infinite loop for argument close to 1
    - mpc_add_si: replaced macro by function, since the macro evaluated the
      same expression twice
  - Logging feature for debugging:
      ./configure --enable-logging
      #include "mpc-log.h" instead of #include "mpc.h"
  - Minimally required library versions: gmp 4.3.2, mpfr 2.4.2

Changes in version 0.8.2:
  - Speed-up of mpc_pow_ui through binary exponentiation

Changes in version 0.8.1:
  - Bug fixes:
    - mpc_acosh, mpc_asinh, mpc_atanh: swap of precisions between real and
      imaginary parts
    - mpc_atan: memory leak
    - mpc_log: wrong ternary value in data file; masked by bug in mpfr-2.4.1

Changes in version 0.8 ("Dianthus deltoides"):
  - New functions:
    - mpc_asin, mpc_acos, mpc_atan, mpc_asinh, mpc_acosh, mpc_atanh,

  - Bug fixes:
    - mpc_ui_div: real divisor

Changes in version 0.7 ("Campanula uniflora"):
  - New functions: mpc_pow, mpc_set_nan, mpc_swap
  - Bug fixes:
    - mpc_log: along branch cut
    - mpc_norm: infinite loop in case of overflow
    - mpc_ui_div, mpc_div, mpc_fr_div: handling of division by 0 and
      infinities following the example code of the C99 standard
    - compilation with g++

    mpc_set_sj_sj, mpc_set_f, mpc_set_f_f, mpc_set_q, mpc_set_q_q, mpc_set_z,
    mpc_set_z_z and mpc_free_str
  - New macro: MPC_SET_X_Y
  - mpc_set_ui_fr removed
  - Default precision removed, as well as mpc_init and all mpc_init_set*
    combinations; use mpc_init2 or mpc_init3, followed by mpc_set, instead
  - mpc_exp, mpc_log, mpc_cos, mpc_sin, mpc_tan, mpc_cosh, mpc_sinh,
    mpc_tanh and mpc_sqrt return inexact value
  - inp_str returns inexact value and the number of read characters
    in an additional parameter
  - Get default $CC and $CFLAGS from gmp.h (__GMP_CC / __GMP_CFLAGS,
    which are available as of GMP 4.2.3)
