+Changes between GMP version 5.0.0 and 5.0.1
+
+ BUGS FIXED
+ * Fat builds fixed.
+
+ * Fixed crash for huge multiplies when old FFT_TABLE2 type of parameter
+ selection tables' sentinel was smaller than multiplied operands.
+
+ SPEEDUPS
+ * Multiplicaton of large numbers has indirectly been sped up through
+ better FFT tuning and processor recognition.
+
+ FEATURES
+ * More Core i5 an Core i7 processor models are recognised.
+
+ * Fixes and workarounds for Mac OS quirks should make this GMP version
+ build using many version of "Xcode".
+
+ MISC
+ * The amount of scratch memory needed for multiplication of huge numbers
+ have decreased substantially (but is still larger than in GMP 4.3.)
+
+ * Likewise, the amount of scratch memory needed for division of large
+ numbers have decreased substantially.
+
+ * The FFT tuning code is completely rewritten, and new, large FFT
+ parameter selection tables are provided for many machines.
+
+ * Upgraded to the latest autoconf, automake, libtool.
