Changes for 2.3.17
  - updated qd_real.cpp, to fix a problem with improper treatment of
  negative arguments in nroot.

Changes for 2.3.16
  - Updated dd_real.cpp, to fix a problem with inaccurate values of
  tanh for small arguments.

Changes for 2.3.15
  - Updated qd_real.cpp, to fix a problem with static definitions.

Changes for 2.3.14
  - Updated autoconfig (replaced config.sub and config.guess)

Changes for 2.3.7
  - Fixed bug in to_digits where digits larger than 10
    where output occasionally.

Changes for 2.3.6
  - Added fmod (C++) and mod (Fortran) functions.

Changes for 2.3.5
  - Fixed bug in division of qd_real by dd_real.
  - Fixed bug in ddoutc (Fortran ddmod.f).
  - Now compiles with g++ 4.3.
  - Distribute tests/coeff.dat.

Changes for 2.3.4
  - Fixed bug in Makefile for cygwin / mingw systems.

Changes for 2.3.3
  - Fixed bug in atan2.

Changes for 2.3.2
  - Fixed bug in sin / cos / sincos where too much accuracy was 
    lost for (moderately) large angles.
  - Use fused-multiply add intrinsics on IA-64 platforms if 
    compiled by Intel compiler.
  - Fixed bug in c_dd_write and c_qd_write.
  - Fixed bug were qdext.mod was not being installed.

Changes for 2.3.1
  - Fixed bug in sincos and cos_taylor.  This affected the result
    of trigonometric functions in some cases.

Changes for 2.3.0
  This is a fairly significant change, breaking API compatibility.
  - Moved C++ main entry in libqdmod.a to libqd_f_main.a.
    This allows to link Fortran code using QD with custom 
    C++ main function.  Pure Fortran code will need to be linked
    with qd_f_main library in addition to qdmod and qd library.
  - Constructors accepting pointers made explicit.
  - Fortran routines labeled as elemental or pure, where appropriate.
  - Write() is now to_string(), and now takes a single fmtflag.
  - dd_real addition and multiplication made commutative.
  - dd_real now represented as array of two doubles, instead of
    two discrete scalars.
  - New Fortran generic routines to read / write, operations with
    complex and integers.
  - Improved exp, sin, and cos functions.
  - Removed unused constants and obscure constants only used internally
    from public interface.

Changes for 2.2.6
  - Fixed bug in mixed precision multiplication: qd_real * dd_real.

Changes for 2.2.5
  - Bug fix in qd_real addition when --enable-ieee-add is specified.
  - Debugging routines dump and dump_bits updated; 
    dump_components removed (just use dump).
  - Fortran support for Fortran strings.  Use character arrays instead.
  - Return NaN under error conditions.
  - Added _inf constant; exp now returns Inf when argument is too large.
  - Output formatting fixes for Inf and NaNs.
  - Added more real-complex mixed arithmetic routines in Fortran 
    interface.

Changes for 2.2.4
  - Added random_number interface for Fortran modules.
  - Use slightly more conservative values for eps.
  - Avoid unnecessary overflow near overflow threshold.
  - Added radix, digits, min/maxexponent, range, and precision
    intrinsics to Fortran interface.
  - Added safe_max (C++) and safe_huge (Fortran).

Changes for 2.2.3
  - Fix sign function bug in Fortran modules.

Changes for 2.2.2
  - Do not bother setting uninitialized dd_real and qd_reals to zero.
  - Use clock_gettime if available for timing.
  - Fortran I/O should be more consistent with C++ version.
  - fpu.h is now included with dd_real.h.

Changes for 2.2.1
  - Minor fixes when printing in scientific format.
  - Change search order of C++ compilers in Apple systems to avoid
    case insensitive filesystems.

Changes for 2.2.0
  - Added F95 interface for complex types.
  - Renamed dd.h and qd.h to dd_real.h and qd_real.h, respectively.
    This will break older C++ code using 2.1.x library, but it was
    conflicting with QuickDraw libraries on Macs.  (Hence the version 
    bump to 2.2).
  - Removed overloaded typecast operators for int and double.  These
    permitted *automatic* conversion of dd_real/qd_real to double or
    int, which is somewhat dangerous.  Instead to_int and to_double
    routines are added.

Changes for 2.1.214
  - Updated pslq_test.
  - Implmented numeric_limits<>.
  - Better polyroot.
  - Added isnan, isfinite, isinf functions.
  - Fix / improve input output functions.
  - Drop Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 support.
  - More efficient dd_real::sin.

Changes for 2.1.213
  - Support for x86_64 platforms.
  - Drop libtool support for now.

Changes for 2.1.212
  - Support for pathCC compiler.
  - Added accurate and sloppy versions of add / sub / mul / div avaialble.
  - Added autodetection of fma functions.

Changes for 2.1  (2003-12-30)
  - added automake scripts.
  - use libtool to compile / link and build libraries.
  - supports standard installation targets (make install).
  - support for Intel C++ compilers (icc / ecc).
  - Fortran programs are now linked by C++ compiler.
  - support for building shared library.
  - minor bug fixes.

Changes for 2.0  (2003-12-08)
  - all header files are in "include/qd" directory.
  - added autoconf scripts.
  - added config.h and qd_config.h to store configuration information.
  - renamed x86_* routines to fpu_* routines.
  - added separate Fortran interface (f_* routines).
  - options for sloppy multiply and sloppy divison separated.
  - fixed C interface to be actually in C syntax.
  - updated / added README, AUTHORS, NEWS, and LICENSE files.
  - minor bug fixes.

Changes for 1.2  (2003-12-04)
  - added "dist-clean" target in Makefile
  - initialize dd and qd variables to zero
  - increases tolerance for qd / dd tests
  - changed .cc extension to .cpp
  - updated README, COPYING, and NEWS files
  - added ChangeLog file
  - fixed bug in '-all' flag in qd_test
  - minor bug fixes

Changes for 1.1  (2002-10-22)
  - added "Changes" file (this file)
  - fixed <strings.h> to <string.h>
  - fixed constant (3/4) * pi
  - fixed exp(x) to return zero if x is a large negative number
  - removed "docs" target in Makefile
