Compatibility with older versions
=================================
This version of GMP is upwardly binary compatible with all 4.x and 3.x
versions, and upwardly compatible at the source level with all 2.x
versions, with the following exceptions.
* `mpn_gcd' had its source arguments swapped as of GMP 3.0, for
consistency with other `mpn' functions.
* `mpf_get_prec' counted precision slightly differently in GMP 3.0
and 3.0.1, but in 3.1 reverted to the 2.x style.
There are a number of compatibility issues between GMP 1 and GMP 2
that of course also apply when porting applications from GMP 1 to GMP
4. Please see the GMP 2 manual for details.
The Berkeley MP compatibility library ( BSD Compatible
Functions) is source and binary compatible with the standard `libmp'.
