License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
(1.08a: )
1. improved efficiency of the basic conversion from exact
fractions to floats, giving speed gains especially for
the power function; 3.1415^3000000000 as a float is now
within the package powers (sic),
2. the comparison routines handle much better inputs with
big powers of ten,
3. the xintseries package has macros for floats,
(1.08: )
4. square root extraction, both for floats, and in a variant
for integers.
5. new package xintbinhex.sty for expandable conversions of
arbitrary length data to and from binary and hexadecimal.
Many improvements to the pdf documentation.
