- Release notes for FPLIB Release 2.0
- ===================================
-
- This release contains fixes to FPLIB release 1.0, and fixes to the
- standard Sozobon release 1.0 floating support.
-
- In the standard support:
-
- - The original floating point add/subtract, multiply, and divide have
- been rewritten for better speed and accuracy.
-
- - Bugs in the floating version of printf have been fixed.
-
- The remaining information is of interest only if you have been using
- FPLIB release 1.0. The following changes have been made:
-
- - MATH.H has been expanded to provide symbolic definitions of some
- common constants.
-
- - A few minor bugs have been fixed:
-
- * Some routines could return -0.0; the sign has been corrected.
-
- * Some routines could return a number with a biased exponent of
- zero; they now return true 0.0.
-
- * Out of range results are now signaled by ERANGE, not EDOM.
-
- * frexp() returned an incorrect value on overflow, and ldexp()
- didn't handle overflow or underflow correctly.
