Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the
xint
bundle.
Version: 1.2n 2017-08-06
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The macros of xintbinhex.sty have been revisited again. Their speed
and the sizes of the maximal allowable inputs have been increased.
As I have little internet time during August, I decided not to
wait before releasing the improved versions, although the previous
release is only a week old.
Also, xintbinhex.sty loads only xintkernel.sty, not xintcore.sty
anymore as it has no more dependencies upon it.
