Changes between GMP version 5.0.3 and 5.0.4:

  BUGS FIXED

  * Thresholds in mpn_powm_sec for both fat and non-fat builds are now used
    safely, plugging a one-word buffer overrun introduced in the 5.0.3 release
    (for non-fat) and a multi-word buffer overrun that existed since 5.0 (for
    fat).  (We have not been able to provoke malign stack smashing in any of
    the ~100 configurations explored by the GMP nightly builds, but the bug
    should be assumed to be exploitable.)

  * Two bugs in multiplication code causing incorrect computation with
    extremely low probability have been fixed.

  * Two bugs in the gcd code have been fixed.  They could lead to incorrect
    results, but for uniformly distributed random operands, the likelihood for
    that is infinitesimally small.  (There was also a third bug, but that was
    an incorrect ASSERT, which furthermore was not enabled by default.)

  * A bug affecting 32-bit PowerPC division has been fixed.  The bug caused
    miscomputation for certain divisors in the range 2^32 ... 2^64-1 (about 1
    in 2^30 of these).

  SPEEDUPS
  * None, except indirectly through recognition of new CPUs, and through better
    tuning parameters.

  FEATURES
  * Some more tests added to the self-check suite.

  * The AMD "Bulldozer" CPU is now recognised.

  MISC
  * None.


Changes between GMP version 5.0.2 and 5.0.3

  BUGS FIXED
  * A few minor bugs related to portability fixed.

  * A slight timing leak of the powm_sec functions have been sealed.  (This
    leak could possibly be used to extract the most significant few bits of the
    exponent.  "Few" here means at most 10.)

  * The mpz_nextprime function now runs a safer number of pseudo-random prime
    tests.

  * A bug in division code possibly causing incorrect computation was fixed.

  SPEEDUPS
  * None, except indirectly through recognition of new CPUs, and through better
    tuning parameters.

  FEATURES
  * New CPUs recognised.

  * IBM S/390 are now supported in both 31/32-bit and 64-bit mode.  (We have
    not been able to fully test this on any multilib machine, since IBM expired
    our guest account a few days before our release.)

  MISC
  * None.
