* Reorder entries in CHANGES so newest entries are at the top.
* Sync test files with Math-BigInt-1.999808.
* Numerous bug fixes and speed improvements.
1.12 2004-01-05 Tels
* tests from BigInt v1.68 - 4572 tests
* require Math::BigInt v1.68
* hang in test 1635 due to _fac() not handling $x == 0 properly
* _lsft() created non-chunked sizes (thus failures in broot())
* streamlined code (removed return statements etc)
* _as_hex() and _as_bin() handle the $x == 0 case properly
* _pow() handles 0 ** Y properly
* __reduce() check for Y's size in _gcd() was wrongly checking $x->Size()
* _check() method checks for non-chunked sizes
1.11_01 2002-09-30 Tels (never released)
* require Bit::Vector 6.3
* removed unused binary GCD algorithmn
* removed unnecc. tests for $x or $y == 0 since Bit::Vector 6.3 handles these
1.11 2002-03-24 Tels
* tests from BigInt v1.60 - 4057 tests
1.10 2002-03-24 Tels
* tests from BigInt v1.55 - 3877 tests
1.09 2002-02-21 Tels
* tests from BigInt v1.51
* replaced _core_lib() by config()->{lib}
1.08 2002-02-19 Tels
* added _fac() for factorial speed improvements
* streamlined some functions (removed return)
* _mul() does no longer create a result of max($m,$n)*2, but a $m+$n+2 bits
Quite some performance gains when $m much is greater/smaller than $n.
The improvement for small numbers is due to the saved call to max()
Sat Feb 16 19:12:04 2002 Numbers are relative to v1.50_BitVect_v1.07,
100 denotes 100%.
