Hi All,

There is a problem but it is mul_2.asm that is missing, not
addmul_2.asm.  I'll commit it to trunk shortly so that it can be moved
into the next 1.1.1 RC.

This release suffered because I was away last week but I am wodering
what can be done to reduce these sort of issues in future.

Having an independent test of the Windows build is clearly a big step
forward so Jeff's contribution is vital and much appreciated by me.

One of the problems is that most university based contributors to MPIR
seem to be able to assume that bandwidth use is not an issue but for
me this is not the case as I have access via an Internet Service
Provider (ISP) with a maximum 8 Mbit/sec access speed and 'pay as you
go' bandwidth costs.

If I point my SVN client at the SVN root, every branch added takes a
very long time to download and uses a lot of bandwidth even though the
difference between the new branch and an existing one might be only
one or two small files.  This is quite mad and I am hence wondering
whether Mercurial would overcome this problem?  I say Mercurial rather
than GIT because GIT does not have a working




As a result I now mostly operate SVN against the MPIR trunk branch and
don't see the other branches.  This is not ideal but I cannot really
operate within the current policy that a new branch is creaated for
each area in which changes are being done.

Would it not be possible to operate with just a few (<= 3) active
branches?

    Brian
