-NOTEWORTHY CHANGES IN GNU MP IN VERSION 2
-
-* Division routines in the mpz class have changed.  There are three classes of
-  functions, that rounds the quotient to -infinity, 0, and +infinity,
-  respectively.  The first class of functions have names that begin with
-  mpz_fdiv (f is short for floor), the second class' names begin with mpz_tdiv
-  (t is short for trunc), and the third class' names begin with mpz_cdiv (c is
-  short for ceil).
-
-  The old division routines beginning with mpz_m are similar to the new
-  mpz_fdiv, with the exception that some of the new functions return useful
-  values.
-
-  The old function names can still be used.  All the old functions names will
-  now do floor division, not trunc division as some of them used to.  This was
-  changed to make the functions more compatible with common mathematical
-  practice.
-
-  The mpz_mod and mpz_mod_ui functions now compute the mathematical mod
-  function.  I.e., the sign of the 2nd argument is ignored.
-
-* The mpq assignment functions do not canonicalize their results.  A new
-  function, mpq_canonicalize must be called by the user if the result is not
-  known to be canonical.
-* The mpn functions are now documented.  These functions are intended for
-  very time critical applications, or applications that need full control over
-  memory allocation.  Note that the mpn interface is irregular and hard to
-  use.
-* New functions for arbitrary precision floating point arithmetic.  Names
-  begin with `mpf_'.  Associated type mpf_t.
-* New and improved mpz functions, including much faster GCD, fast exact
-  division (mpz_divexact), bit scan (mpz_scan0 and mpz_scan1), and number
-  theoretical functions like Jacobi (mpz_jacobi) and multiplicative inverse
-  (mpz_invert).
-* New variable types (mpz_t and mpq_t) are available that makes syntax of
-  mpz and mpq calls nicer (no need for & before variables).  The MP_INT and
-  MP_RAT types are still available for compatibility.
-* Uses GNU configure.  This makes it possible to choose target architecture
-  and CPU variant, and to compile into a separate object directory.
-* Carefully optimized assembly for important inner loops.  Support for DEC
-  Alpha, Amd 29000, HPPA 1.0 and 1.1, Intel pentium and generic x86, Intel
-  i960, Motorola MC68000, MC68020, MC88100, and MC88110, Motorola/IBM
-  PowerPC, National NS32000, IBM POWER, MIPS R3000, R4000, SPARCv7,
-  SuperSPARC, generic SPARCv8, and DEC VAX.  Some support also for ARM,
-  Clipper, IBM ROMP (RT), and Pyramid AP/XP.
-* Faster.  Thanks to the assembler code, new algorithms, and general tuning.
-  In particular, the speed on machines without GCC is improved.
-* Support for machines without alloca.
-* Now under the LGPL.
-
-INCOMPATIBILITIES BETWEEN GMP 1 AND GMP 2
-
-* mpq assignment functions do not canonicalize their results.
-* mpz division functions round differently.
-* mpz mod functions now really compute mod.
-* mpz_powm and mpz_powm_ui now really use mod for reduction.
