== Revision history of libcerf, maintained by Joachim Wuttke ==

Homepage moved to https://jugit.fz-juelich.de/mlz/libcerf, 17mar19

libcerf-1.13, released 28feb19:
  - Further adjustments for compilation under Windows

libcerf-1.12, released 7feb19:
  - Require CMake 3.6, outcomment code that requires 3.13.
  - Relative paths in CMake sources, for use as subproject.
  - When compiling as CPP, then #include<complex>, not <complex.h>;
    revise the entire C-vs-CPP machinery.
  - Remove tests with different inf or nan results on different systems or under
    different compilers.

libcerf-1.11, released 28dec18:
  - Cover voigt by test_voigt.
  - Implement new function voigt_hwhm.
  - Restore libcerf.pc.
  - Add INSTALL instructions, and other minor adjustments for use of libcerf in C++ projects.
  - Support 'ctest', which runs the numeric accuracy tests from test1.c.
  - Rename type cmplx into _cerf_cmplx to avoid name clash with Gnuplot pre 5.3.

libcerf-1.8 [2oct18], libcerf-1.9 [16oct18] and libcerf-1.10 [20dec18]
  MUST NOT BE USED
  - A bug introduced in v1.8 had broken the normalization of the Voigt function.
  - The git history leading to v1.10 has been rewritten, starting anew from v1.7

libcerf-1.7, released 26sep18:
  - Option -DCERF_CPP allows to choose C++ compilation, which is useful
    because MS VisualStudio supports C++14, but not yet C99, and in
    particular does not support complex.h under C.

libcerf-1.6, released 20sep18:
  - Migrated from automake to CMake.
  - Corrected typos in man pages.

libcerf-1.5, released 12oct16:
  - Removed unused inline function (detected by clang-1.3., reported by Luke Benes)

libcerf-1.4, released 27aug14:
  - HTML version of man pages no longer installs to man/html.
  - More concise man pages.
  - Delete a few unused include's.
  - Autotools script corrected (suggestions by Christoph Junghans).

libcerf-1.3, released 17jul13:
  - Now supporting pkg-config (suggested by Mojca Miklavec).

libcerf-1.2, released 16jul13:
  - Test programs no longer install to $bindir (reported by Mojca Miklavec).

libcerf-1.1, released 12may13:
  - Added Fortran binding by Antonio Cervellino.

libcerf-1.0, released 31jan13 by Joachim Wuttke:
  - Based on http://ab-initio.mit.edu/Faddeeva as of 28jan13.
  - Verified accuracy using double-exponential transform.
  - Simplified function names;
    use leading 'c' for complex functions (except in w_of_z).
  - Added function voigt(x,sigma,gamma).
  - Added configure.ac, Makefile.am &c to allow for autotools standard
    installation (commands ./configure, make, sudo make install).
  - Splitted source code into directories lib/ and test/.
  - Eliminated unused alternate code (!USE_CONTINUED_FRACTION).
  - Eliminated relerr arguments.
  - Replaced "complex" by "_Complex" for C++ compatibility.
  - Wrote man pages w_of_z(3), dawson(3), voigt(3), cerf(3), erfcx(3), erfi(3).
  - Created project home page http://apps.jcns.fz-juelich.de/libcerf.
  - Registered project "libcerf" at sourceforge.net.

Project at http://ab-initio.mit.edu/Faddeeva

  4 October 2012: Initial public release (SGJ)
  5 October 2012: Revised (SGJ) to fix spelling error,
                  start summation for large x at round(x/a) (> 1)
                  rather than ceil(x/a) as in the original
                  paper, which should slightly improve performance
                  (and, apparently, slightly improves accuracy)
 19 October 2012: Revised (SGJ) to fix bugs for large x, large -y,
                  and 15<x<26. Performance improvements. Prototype
                  now supplies default value for relerr.
 24 October 2012: Switch to continued-fraction expansion for
                  sufficiently large z, for performance reasons.
                  Also, avoid spurious overflow for |z| > 1e154.
                  Set relerr argument to min(relerr,0.1).
 27 October 2012: Enhance accuracy in Re[w(z)] taken by itself,
                  by switching to Alg. 916 in a region near
                  the real-z axis where continued fractions
                  have poor relative accuracy in Re[w(z)].  Thanks
                  to M. Zaghloul for the tip.
 29 October 2012: Replace SLATEC-derived erfcx routine with
                  completely rewritten code by me, using a very
                  different algorithm which is much faster.
 30 October 2012: Implemented special-case code for real z
                  (where real part is exp(-x^2) and imag part is
                   Dawson integral), using algorithm similar to erfx.
                  Export ImFaddeeva_w function to make Dawson's
                  integral directly accessible.
 3 November 2012: Provide implementations of erf, erfc, erfcx,
                  and Dawson functions in Faddeeva:: namespace,
                  in addition to Faddeeva::w.  Provide header
                  file Faddeeva.hh.
 4 November 2012: Slightly faster erf for real arguments.
                  Updated MATLAB and Octave plugins.
27 November 2012: Support compilation with either C++ or
                  plain C (using C99 complex numbers).
                  For real x, use standard-library erf(x)
                  and erfc(x) if available (for C99 or C++11).
                  #include "config.h" if HAVE_CONFIG_H is #defined.
15 December 2012: Portability fixes (copysign, Inf/NaN creation),
                  use CMPLX/__builtin_complex if available in C,
                  slight accuracy improvements to erf and dawson
                  functions near the origin.  Use gnulib functions
                  if GNULIB_NAMESPACE is defined.
18 December 2012: Slight tweaks (remove recomputation of x*x in Dawson)
