License: Gnu Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 or later

MPC is a C library for the arithmetic of complex numbers with arbitrarily high precision and correct rounding of the result. It is built upon and follows the same principles as MPFR.

MPC is a prerequisite for gcc-4.5. See:
 - http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2009-03/msg00671.html

INSTALL OR UPGRADE NOTES
========================

Upstream bumped the shared library version number. I chose not to bump the DLL version as from limited testing it appears to binary compatible with mpclib-0.6-1.

Version 0.7, "Campanula uniflora", released in September 2009, comes with the following new features:
* New functions: mpc_pow, mpc_set_nan, mpc_swap
* Bug fixes:
o log: along branch cut
o norm: infinite loop in case of overflow
o ui_div, div, fr_div: handling of division by 0
and infinities following the example code of
the C99 standard
o compilation with g++
* Makefile.vc updated (thanks to Mickael Gastineau)
* Minimal gmp version is 4.2
* Changed MPC_SET_X_Y macro
* Functions mpc_random and mpc_random2 removed
