fp 5.1 - Changelog

What's new in fp 5.1:

January 31st, 2012

· Corrects a bug in LnFactorial which limited precision, and gives a better output precision to TenToLogTenFactorial.

What's new in fp 5.0:

January 28th, 2012

Adds these functions:
· char* GetNumberFromLog(const fp& x) // x should be log(number); this returns a string with that number, even if it wouldn't fit into an fp type.
· void LnFactorial(fp& z, const fp& x) // gives z = ln(Gamma(x+1)) using the asymptotic series with Bernoulli Numbers
· char* TenToLogTenFactorial(const fp& x) // uses above functions to return a string number for x! which can have an exponent of 10 which may be much larger than any exponent of the fp type

What's new in fp 4.9:

December 7th, 2011

· Adds new bitwise functions for the mb type.

What's new in fp 4.8:

September 5th, 2011

· Adds the ability to handle fractions in BaseFromBase.

What's new in fp 4.71:

August 30th, 2011

· Corrects a bug in BaseFromBase which affected floating point numbers for bases greater than 36.

What's new in fp 4.7:

August 29th, 2011

· Adds the ability to handle floating point numbers to BaseFromBase.

What's new in fp 4.6:

August 20th, 2011

· Corrects a bug in the isItEven function.

What's new in fp 4.5:

August 18th, 2011

· Adds the bitwise operators &, |, and ^ (AND, OR, XOR) for type mb integers.

What's new in fp 4.4:

August 8th, 2011

· Corrects a bug in the function isItInteger.

What's new in fp 4.3:

June 9th, 2011

· Adds binary Gray code (as base 1) to the bases 2 through 65536 in converting from one base to another.

What's new in fp 4.2:

September 7th, 2010

· Adds extendedGCD function, which implements the Extended Euclidean Algorithm.

What's new in fp 4.1:

March 6th, 2010

· Fixes a bug in the mbRandom function.

What's new in fp 4.0:

November 30th, 2009

· Adds multi-precision complex numbers.
· Many functions are overloaded to take the fpComplex numbers as arguments.
· But of the special functions, only the gamma function has been overloaded.

What's new in fp 3.5:

October 29th, 2009

· Adds the Beta Function, the Incomplete Beta Function, the Error Functions, the Exponential Integral, the Fresnel Integrals, and the Confluent Hypergeometric Function.

October 8th, 2009

· Adds Euler's Constant and the Bessel functions.
· Improves fpNormalize and rewrites fpCompareAbs.

What's new in fp 2.5:

September 26th, 2009
