+Release 2a (1998 December)
+
+-- Added functions to convert between 64-bit integers (int64) and all
+ supported floating-point formats.
+
+-- Fixed a bug in all 64-bit-version square root functions except
+ `float32_sqrt' that caused the result sometimes to be off by 1 unit in
+ the last place (1 ulp) from what it should be. (Bug discovered by Paul
+ Donahue.)
+
+-- Improved the makefiles.

+Release 2 (1997 June)
+
+-- Created the 64-bit (bits64) version, adding the floatx80 and float128
+ formats.
+
+-- Changed the source directory structure, splitting the sources into a
+ `bits32' and a `bits64' version. Renamed `environment.h' to `milieu.h'
+ (to avoid confusion with environment variables).
+
+-- Fixed a small error that caused `float64_round_to_int' often to round the
+ wrong way in nearest/even mode when the operand was between 2^20 and 2^21
+ and halfway between two integers.
+

+Release 1a (1996 July)
+
+-- Corrected a mistake that caused borderline underflow cases not to raise
+ the underflow flag when they should have. (Problem reported by Doug
+ Priest.)
+
+-- Added the `float_detect_tininess' variable to control whether tininess is
+ detected before or after rounding.
