xint 1.1 has some bug fixes, a few breaking changes, and many
extensions to xintexpr. See CHANGES.pdf or CHANGES.html for details.
The documentation has been completely revamped. The source code is
separately available as sourcexint.pdf.
Package xintcore is split-off from xint taking with it all the basic
arithmetic. This way, my other package bnumexpr has minimal overhead.
Neither xint nor xintfrac load xinttools anymore, only xintexpr does.
\xintthefloatexpr add(x^15,x=[1..10]/13)\relax
\xinttheiiexpr seq(seq(i^2+j^2, i=1..j),j=1..30)\relax % nesting
\xinttheexpr seq(x^2+x+1, x=1..10, 20..30, 40..50)\relax
\xinttheexpr 37*[15..[-2]..-13]^3\relax % itemwise operations
\xinttheexpr add(x^3, x = [89..120,150..200][15:-15])\relax % slicing
First Fibonacci number at least 2^64 and its index

{iter(([@][1])//p; (@/:p)?{break((@,p,e))}{@//p},e=1++)}},p=2++))\relax }

Version number: 1.09m
License type: lppl
Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers
Announcement text:
--
Release 1.09m:
* xintcfrac: \xintFGtoC finds the initial partial quotients which
are common to two decimal numbers (or fractions):
\xintFGtoC{3.141592653}{3.141592654}
-> {3}{7}{15}{1}
\xintFGtoC{3.141592653589}{3.141592653590}
-> {3}{7}{15}{1}{292}{1}{1}{1}{2}{1}
\xintGGCFrac typesets generalized continued fractions, not assuming
that the coefficients are numeric quantities.
* xinttools: \xintKeep keeps the first N or last N elements of a
list (sequence of braced items); \xintTrim cuts out either the first
N or the last N elements from a list.
Some other minor changes.

CTAN Update: xint
Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the xint package. Version number: 1.09j License type: lppl Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers Announcement text: -- 1.09j 2014/01/09 * The core division routines have been re-written for some (limited) efficiency gain, more pronounced for small divisors. As a consequence, the computation with the algorithm given in the user manual of one thousand digits of Pi is three times faster. Some other small improvements elsewhere. * A new macro \xintXTrunc is designed to produce thousands or even tens of thousands of digits of the decimal expansion of a fraction. Although completely expandable it has its use limited to inside an |\edef|, |\write|, |\message|, \dots. It can thus not be nested as argument to another package macro. * \xintexpr..\relax can now be used inside an \edef without the \xintthe prefix converting the internal format into explicit digit tokens; it will expand completely and inhibit the error message about a missing \xintthe. This can significantly speed up the use of \xintexpr in a non-expandable contexts, when dealing with numbers having hundreds of digits. Notice that contrarily to \numexpr for which \the or \number is necessary not only to print but also to trigger the computation, \xintthe is only needed for the printing step (previously \xintexpr was already fully expandable under \romannumeral-`0). * bug-fix: |1.09i| did an unexplainable change to \XINT_infloat_zero which broke the floating point routines for vanishing operands :-(( The first two pages of the user manual give a much clearer view of the aims and abilities of the package. The manual has more of these tremendous applications my (singleton) user base enjoy so much! -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/xint/ More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/xint We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Version number: 1.09e
License type: lppl
Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers
Announcement text:

New features:
* the new syntax \xintFor #1 in {\xintrationals [f+g]} \do
{stuff with #1} does an infinite repetition with #1 first set to
f, then f+g, f+2g, ... where f and g are decimal numbers, or
fractions, or macros expanding to such things. Also available:
- \xintintegers where each #1 will be a
\numexpr \relax
- \xintdimensions where each #1 will be a
\dimexpr \relax.
In the latter case the dimensions are internally kept in sp
units, there is no loss of accuracy due to conversion in pt's by
\the.
* one breaks out of the infinite loop with \xintBreakFor and
\xintBreakForAndDo (preferably put inside the true or false
branch of a conditional as provided by the package itself or the
etoolbox package or the ifthen package; there is no question of
complete expandability here, so ifthen is allowed).
* also new: \xintifForFirst, \xintifForLast which are expandable
conditionals to use in the replacement text of the \xintFor and
\xintFor* loops. Can be nested as expected.
* new expandable conditionals \xintifCmp and \xintifInt
The documentation contains a completely expandable implementation
of the Quick Sort algorithm, and a graphical illustration of its
functioning. It also has a completely expandable prime test and
dynamically constructed prime tables and other examples of use of
the completely expandable \xintApplyUnbraced or non completely
expandable \xintApplyInline and \xintFor, \xintFor*.

Version number: 1.09c

Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers
Announcement text:
--
Release 1.09c adds new features:
* bool and togl are two new functions recognized by the
\xintexpr parser. They act as in etoolbox boolean expressions
(togl requires etoolbox, as it gives the truth value of the
named toggle), and may be freely combined using the logic
operators &, |, or functions all, any, xor, etc...
* new conditional \xintifboolexpr {}{YES}{NO}, where
is written in the \xintexpr recognized infix syntax,
* the (non-expandable) utility \xintApplyInline has been
enhanced to be usable in contexts such as alignments where
the applied macro may close groups,
* \xintFor is a new kind of for loop: it uses #1, #2, #3, #4
rather than macros to represent the (comma separated) list
items; e.g. \xintFor #1 in {a,b,c} \do {\textbf{#1}}. Despite
not being completely expandable, it is nestable, and usable
to generate rows in alignments, as it survives the closing of
groups via its replacement text,
* \xintSeq expandably generates arithmetic sequences.
Some other changes and code improvements, and improved documentation.

package.
Version number: 1.09a
License type: lppl
Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers
Announcement text:
--
\xintexpr..\relax is an expandable parser of expressions written
with infix operators. It computes *exactly* on arbitrarily big
numbers or fractions.
Release 1.09a has added to its syntax:
* functions with one, two, or arbitrarily many argments,
among them reduce, sqr, sqrt, abs, sgn, floor, ceil, quo,
rem, round, trunc, float, gcd, lcm, max, min, sum, prd,
add, mul, all, any, xor, not.
* comparison (<, >, =) and logical (|, &) operators,
* 2way ? and 3way : conditional branching (skipped branches
are /not/ evaluated),
* \xintexpr ,,... \relax returns the comma
separated list where each has been evaluated,
* use of the standard macro parameter character # in the
command constructor \xintNewExpr.
Some new macros correspond to some of the \xintexpr recognized
functions mentioned functions, such as \xintGCDof, \xintLCMof
(package xintgcd), \xintMaxof, \xintMinof, e.g. to be used e.g.
as \xintLCMof {{12}{15}{32}} with arbitrarily many arguments,
etc... lcm(12,15,32) in the easier \xintexpr syntax.
Macros for expandable conditional code \xintifSgn, \xintifGt, etc...

Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
--
Release 1.07a (2013/05/26) brings important additions:
1. \xintexpr...\relax is an expandable parser of algebraic
expressions involving the basic operations +,-,*,/, and ^ as infix
operators, as well as ! for the factorial. It expands everything
along the way and recognizes integers, decimal numbers, numbers in
scientific notations, and arbitrary levels of parenthesizing.
2. \xintfloatexpr...\relax is the same thing, the operations being
excuted with a precision D, whose default is 16 digits, and may be
set arbitrarily (theoretical maximum 32768).
3. the other package macros now accept the scientific notation on
input and \xintFloat outputs in floating point format with a given
precision D either specified as an optional argument or globally set.
The bundle now comprises the core constituents xint, xintfrac, and
the latest xintexpr which loads the two previous ones, and auxiliary
packages xintgcd, xintseries and xintcfrac.
The macros are usable with any flavor of TeX with the e-TeX
extensions. Users of LaTeX will do \usepackage{xintexpr}, others
\input xintexpr.sty

version 1.04 of xint (2013/04/25)
This release has some bug fixes, important improvements in the
xintseries package and its documentation, and a new component
xintcfrac.sty devoted to continued fractions.
1. bug fixes: \xintIrr {0} was a bad one. Apart from that,
there were some inaccuracies in the documentation.
2. the base package xint has new commands to help deal in an
expandable way with token lists produced by some of the bundle
macros. Also, the division routine is a bit faster, and a
rounding macro has been added to the xintfrac package.
3. xintseries: a new implementation of \xintPowerSeries, based
on a Horner scheme, has greatly reduced a problem of denominator
build-up. Also, the package has new macros, among them
\xintRationalSeries is for computing partial sums with general
term F(n) where F is a rational function and the macro is given
the n->F(n)/F(n-1) function. This is especially designed for
series of the exponential type, again to avoid a denominator
build-up which made \xintSeries and \xintPowerSeries inefficient
in such situations. The documentation has been correspondingly
extended.
4. xintcfrac: this is a new package to deal with matters of
continued fractions. For example \xintCFrac is like amsmath
\cfrac apart from a little detail: it first computes the
continued fraction corresponding to a given fractional number!
(and then feeds \cfrac with it; almost all package macros only
deal with computations, not typesetting). The package includes
commodities to specify the coefficients of the (possibly
generalized) continued fraction as function of the index, to
compute simple and centered continued fractions, to return the
list of all convergents, etc...
The xint.dtx source file self-extracts packages xint.sty,
xintgcd.sty, xintfrac.sty, xintseries.sty and xintcfrac.sty (as
well as xint.ins).
