 Compatibility with older versions
 =================================
 
 This version of GMP is upwardly binary compatible with all 4.x and 3.x
 versions, and upwardly compatible at the source level with all 2.x
 versions, with the following exceptions.
 
    * `mpn_gcd' had its source arguments swapped as of GMP 3.0, for
      consistency with other `mpn' functions.
 
    * `mpf_get_prec' counted precision slightly differently in GMP 3.0
      and 3.0.1, but in 3.1 reverted to the 2.x style.
 
    There are a number of compatibility issues between GMP 1 and GMP 2
 that of course also apply when porting applications from GMP 1 to GMP
 4.  Please see the GMP 2 manual for details.
 
    The Berkeley MP compatibility library ( BSD Compatible
 Functions) is source and binary compatible with the standard `libmp'.
