+Changes between GMP version 4.2.2 and 4.2.3
+
+  Bugs:
+  * Fix x86 CPU recognition code to properly identify recent AMD and Intel
+    64-bit processors.
+  * The >> operator of the C++ wrapper gmpxx.h now does floor rounding, not
+    truncation.
+  * Inline semantics now follow the C99 standard, and works with recent GCC
+    releases.
+  * C++ bitwise logical operations work for more types.
+  * For C++, gmp.h now includes cstdio, improving compiler compatibility.
+  * Bases > 36 now work properly in mpf_set_str.
+
+  Speedups:
+  * None, except that proper processor recognition helps affected processors.
+
+  Features:
+  * The allocation functions now detect overflow of the mpz_t type.  This means
+    that overflow will now cause an abort, except when the allocation
+    computation itself overflows.  (Such overflow can probably only happen in
+    powering functions; we will detect powering overflow in the future.)
