CTAN update: xint

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the
xint
package.
Version number: 1.2o 2017-08-29
License type: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers
Announcement text:
This is a clean-up release. It deprecates many macros from xintcore.sty and xint.sty. Deprecated macros generate an error message but then (as a rule) expand as in former releases. The majority of these deprecated macros receive their proper definitions from package xintfrac.sty. Loading the latter will thus, for those macros it defines again, make invisible to end-user this xintcore/xint macro deprecation status. All these deprecated macros are marked for removal at next major release.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/xint More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/xint We are supported by the TeX User Groups. Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html .
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Ina Dau

xint – Expandable arbitrary precision floating point and integer operations
The xint bundle main modules are:
- xinttools
- utilities of independent interest such as expandable and non-expandable loops,
- xintcore
- expandable macros implementing addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and powers for arbitrarily long integers,
- xint
- extension of xintcore,
- xintfrac
- extends the scope of xint to decimal numbers, to numbers using scientific notation and also to (exact) fractions,
- xintexpr
- provides expandable parsers of numeric expressions using the standard infix notations, parentheses, built-in functions, user definable functions and variables (and more ...) which do either exact evaluations (also with fractions) or floating point evaluations under a user chosen precision.
Further modules of the bundle are:
xintkernel (support macros for all the bundle constituents),
xintbinhex (conversion to and from hexadecimal and binary bases),
xintgcd (provides gcd() and lcm() functions to xintexpr),
xintseries (evaluates numerically partial sums of series and
power series with fractional coefficients), and
xintcfrac (dedicated to the computation and display of continued fractions).
All computations are compatible with expansion-only context.
The packages may be used with Plain TeX, LaTeX, or (a priori) any other macro format built upon TeX.
