Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the

xint

package.

Version number: 1.2i 2016-12-13 License type: lppl1.3

Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers

Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

This release principally brings speed improvements to under the hood auxiliary (mainly non arithmetic) routines. As a result xintTrunc, xintRound, xintXTrunc got faster. Also xintKeep, xintTrim, and xintLength were somewhat refactored and are faster.

New macros xintLastItem and omannumeralxintgobble (for cleaning up hundreds of thousands of unwanted tokens, if needed) and also

omannumeralxintreplicate which is simply borrowed from expl3 with some minor changes. Some aspects of xintFor are better explained in the docs.

The documentation has dropped all usage of LaTeX command, which was for some unknown reason to be found at a number of locations of the user manual, in favor of macro, which is more apt for a package (which works under any TeX -- as long as its primitives are not obfuscated of course!) almost all of whose macros work by expansion only (and umexpr).
