CTAN update: xint

[CTAN Announcements]

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the

                xint

package.

Version number: 1.4b 2020-02-25
License type: lppl1.3c

Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

1.4b (2020/02/25)

* Added:

  - functions zip() and flat()
  - chaining of comparison operators
  - customizability of the "e" separator of mantissas
    and exponents in output of \xintfloateval

* Fixed:

  - \xintieval{[D]...} with a negative D (a 1.4a feature) used
    erroneously a catcode 12 "e" in output, which moreover was
    immune to customization

* Announced:

  - long deprecated &, |, and = will be removed at next
    major release, use &&, || and ==.

  - \thexintexpr et al. will be removed at next major
    release, use \xinttheexpr or directly \xintexpr et al. as
    since 1.4 they can be used in typesetting flow.

  - power operators ** and ^ will turn from left to right
    associative at next major release.  This matches with
    Python and l3fp.

* Various documentation fixes and improvements.
