version 0.003; 2007-10-26

  * add natint_hex() and hex_natint() functions to output and input
    integer values in hexadecimal

  * add functions {n,s,u}int() to check and canonicalise native integer
    function arguments

  * add functions nint_is_{s,u}int() for classification of native integers

  * add functions {n,s,u}int_sgn(), {n,s,u}int_abs(), {n,s,u}int_cmp(),
    {n,s,u}int_min(), {n,s,u}int_max(), {n,s,u}int_neg(),
    {n,s,u}int_add(), {n,s,u}int_sub() for ordinary arithmetic on
    native integers

  * add functions {s,u}int_shl(), {s,u}int_shr(), {s,u}int_rol(),
    {s,u}int_ror() for bit shifts on native integers

  * add functions {n,u}int_bits_as_sint() and {n,s}int_bits_as_uint()
    for format conversions among native integers

  * add functions {s,u}int_not(), {s,u}int_and(), {s,u}int_nand(),
    {s,u}int_andn(), {s,u}int_or(), {s,u}int_nor(), {s,u}int_orn(),
    {s,u}int_xor(), {s,u}int_nxor(), {s,u}int_mux() for bitwise operations
    on native integers

  * add functions {s,u}int_madd(), {s,u}int_msub(), {s,u}int_cadd(),
    {s,u}int_csub(), {s,u}int_sadd(), {s,u}int_ssub() for machine-code
    style arithmetic on native integers

  * add short names (m{in,ax}_{n,s,u}int) for the extreme-value constants

  * revise the way the constants are generated to avoid floating point
    arithmetic

  * make extreme-value constants into non-constant functions that return
    fresh integer values, to avoid problems with Perl's side effects
    when an integer value is used in floating point arithmetic

  * in documentation, discuss Perl's problems in handling native integer
    values

  * in documentation, describe the integer formats

  * test consistency of constants in a more reliable and stringent manner,
    using primarily integer arithmetic

  * rearrange module source to avoid the need for the DATA filehandle

version 0.002; 2007-09-27

  * test POD syntax and coverage

  * build with Module::Build instead of ExtUtils::MakeMaker

  * complete dependency list

  * include signature in distribution

  * in documentation, separate "license" section from "copyright" section

version 0.001; 2007-01-24

  * bugfix: strategic use of "use integer" to make the arithmetic work
    right on perl 5.6

  * reference Data::Float, Scalar::Number, and perlnumber(1) in
    documentation

version 0.000; 2007-01-09

  * initial released version
