Changelog for integer-gmp package

0.5.1.0 Feb 2014

• Bundled with GHC 7.8.1

• Improved Haddock documentation

• New PrimBool versions of comparison predicates in GHC.Integer:

  eqInteger# :: Integer -> Integer -> Int#
  geInteger# :: Integer -> Integer -> Int#
  gtInteger# :: Integer -> Integer -> Int#
  leInteger# :: Integer -> Integer -> Int#
  ltInteger# :: Integer -> Integer -> Int#
  neqInteger# :: Integer -> Integer -> Int#
  

• New GHC.Integer.testBitInteger primitive for use with Data.Bits

• Reduce short-lived heap allocation and try to demote J# back to S# more aggressively. See also #8647 for more details.

  testPrimeInteger
  powInteger
  powModInteger
  powModSecInteger
  recipModInteger
