# 259065 07-Dec-2013 gjb

- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

# 251343 03-Jun-2013 kargl

ld80 and ld128 implementations of expm1l(). This code started life
as a fairly faithful implementation of the algorithm found in

PTP Tang, "Table-driven implementation of the Expm1 function
in IEEE floating-point arithmetic," ACM Trans. Math. Soft., 18,
211-222 (1992).

Over the last 18-24 months, the code has under gone significant
optimization and testing.

# 238722 23-Jul-2012 kargl

Compute the exponential of x for Intel 80-bit format and IEEE 128-bit
format. These implementations are based on

PTP Tang, "Table-driven implementation of the exponential function
in IEEE floating-point arithmetic," ACM Trans. Math. Soft., 15,
144-157 (1989).

# 175461 18-Jan-2008 das

Introduce a new log(3) manpage and move the relevant functions there.
Document exp2l() in exp(3), and remove the quaint discussion of topics
such as what these functions were called on the HP-71B's variant of
BASIC.


# 165906 08-Jan-2007 imp

Remove California Regent's clause 3, per letter


# 144649 05-Apr-2005 das

Document exp2() and exp2f(), and make other minor tweaks and updates.


# 142558 26-Feb-2005 das

Un-document the non-extant exp10() and exp10f() functions.
exp10() was a casualty of the transition away from the VAX.


# 140355 16-Jan-2005 ru

Use the \*(If string provided by mdoc(7), to represent infinity.


# 140269 14-Jan-2005 das

Remove numerous references to VAX floating-point and the setting of
errno, replacing them with a discussion of IEEE exceptions where
appropriate. Cross-reference fenv(3) whenever exceptions are
mentioned.


# 131504 02-Jul-2004 ru

Mechanically kill hard sentence breaks.


# 84881 13-Oct-2001 bde

Use ".Lb libm" where it will have an effect (not just in the zombie man
pages in libm).

# 84402 03-Oct-2001 bde

Removed .Nm's for the nonexistent functions exp2() and exp2f().


# 84306 01-Oct-2001 ru

mdoc(7) police: Use the new .In macro for #include statements.


# 81351 09-Aug-2001 yar

Tiny markup fix: `to' isn't a variable


# 79754 15-Jul-2001 dd

Remove whitespace at EOL.

mdoc(7) police: removed HISTORY info from the .Os call.


# 72126 07-Feb-2001 ru

mdoc(7) police: Change -filled displays (which just happen
to be the same as -ragged in the current implementation) to
-ragged. With mdocNG, -filled displays produce the correct
output, formatted and justified to both margins.


# 71895 01-Feb-2001 ru

mdoc(7) police: split punctuation characters + misc fixes.


# 57686 02-Mar-2000 sheldonh

Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality
of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide
bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$


# 22993 22-Feb-1997 peter

Revert $FreeBSD$ to $Id$


# 21673 14-Jan-1997 jkh

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.


# 20648 18-Dec-1996 bde

Removed references to nonexistent functions log2() and log2f().


# 14042 11-Feb-1996 mpp

Fixed some minor formatting problems to silence manck some more.
Corrected some bogus cross references to man pages that we don't/won't
have and either deleted them, or found a more appropriate man page
that we do have. Various other minor changes to silence manck.

Manck is currently down to about 200 lines of errors, down from
the 500 - 600+ when I started all this.

# 2116 19-Aug-1994 jkh

J.T. Conklin's latest version of the Sun math library.

-- Begin comments from J.T. Conklin:
The most significant improvement is the addition of "float" versions
of the math functions that take float arguments, return floats, and do
all operations in floating point. This doesn't help (performance)
much on the i386, but they are still nice to have.

The float versions were orginally done by Cygnus' Ian Taylor when
fdlibm was integrated into the libm we support for embedded systems.
I gave Ian a copy of my libm as a starting point since I had already
fixed a lot of bugs & problems in Sun's original code. After he was
done, I cleaned it up a bit and integrated the changes back into my
libm.
