> Package version: 1.03
> Location on CTAN: macros/generic/xint/
> Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers
> License type: lppl
>
> Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
> version 1.03 of xint (2013/04/14)
>
> The xint bundle has two new components:
> xintfrac.sty Expandable operations on fractions
> xintseries.sty Expandable partial sums with xint package
>
> xintfrac.sty extends the macros of xint.sty to apply to
> fractions of arbitrary sizes (please don't type in numerators
> or denominators with more than 2147483639 digits, if I may ask).
>
> As with xint.sty, all computations are done in a manner
> compatible with expansion-only context. The computations are
> always done exactly and when printing a fraction with an
> asked-for given number of digits, all digits are exact.
>
> xintseries.sty provides some basic functionality to compute
> partial sums of series or power series. The computations may be
> done exactly or with a truncation at a given number of digits
> after the decimal point.
>
> There have been only some changes to the original xint.sty
> macros: in particular, the division is a bit faster, and the
> multiplication is a bit slower on less than 50 digits numbers as
> it now decides by itself what is the probable best order for the
> inputs ; this leads to potential significant speed gains when one
> of the number is much longer than the other. It was also crucial
> for the calculus with fractions as the choice of the best order
> can not be guessed in advance.
>
> The documentation has been revised and enlarged. The traditional
> Machin algorithm to compute pi is illustrated. Of course, recall
> that this is all done without any memory assignments, purely by
> macro expansion, and xintseries is thus no threat to the
> computing software industry.
>
> All components of the xint bundle may be used either with Plain
> TeX or with LaTeX.
>
> Please report bugs to the author.
