Regarding time frame for the release, I really hope there are plans to get mpir-2.0.1 out the door as soon as possible.
I know Sage has been waiting on these gcd normalisation issues to be fixed for absolutely ages. They still use mpir-1.2.2 !!! The significant holdups I see are: * broken with gcc 4.5.0 on ia64 - probably not an MPIR bug (may have to blacklist this gcc on ia64 along with gcc 4.3.2 on all 64 bit machines) * some issue on another skynet machine - something to do with the setup of the machine * add copyi.c copyd.c to linux build (this is done by adding them to mpn_functions in configure.in and running autoconf, automake, ON BOXEN!!) * document the normalisation changes in mpir.texi (if this hasn't already been done - I forgot if I did it or not) I would focus attention on these so the release can be made.
