3) Update the NEWS file, in particular say if the release is binary
and/or API compatible (or not) with previous releases.
Also update the "API Compatibility" section in the manual (mpfr.texi).
+ Check with abi-compliance-checker (ABI Compliance Checker)[*], on the
+ latest MPFR releases built with no configure options (except --prefix),
+ that no changes have been missed. Note that abi-compliance-checker can
+ only check the symbols, types and constants; it cannot detect just a
+ change in the behavior, thus may miss some incompatibilities.
Update the FAQ.html file with update-faq (and check it) in the doc
directory.

UTF-8 locales, e.g. "LC_ALL=en_US.UTF8 TZ=UTC svn log -rHEAD:0 -v".
