@@ -69,6 +69,9 @@ Changes from versions 3.1.* to version 4.0.0:
- Dropped K&R C compatibility.
- Improved MPFR manual.
- New MPFRbench program (see the tools/bench directory).
+- Major speedup in mpfr_add and mpfr_sub when all operands have the same precision
+ and this precision is less than the number of bits per word, i.e., less
+ than 64 on a 64-bit computer.
- Speedup by a factor of almost 2 in the double <--> mpfr conversions
(mpfr_set_d and mpfr_get_d).
- Speedup in the mpfr_const_euler function (contributed by Fredrik Johansson),
