A beta version of this software has been released.


Improvements over the previous version:

- full support for JRuby
- workaround for a bug in JRuby's Fixnum-multiplication, which has
been fixed for the next JRuby-version, but not for the existing installed base.
- calculation of powers with exponents having huge magnitude and with
bases close to 1 works better now.
- new method initialize_copy needed for clone()
- new method cbrt (cubic root)
- improved to_f which works better near Float::MAX
- new Method LongMath.log_f to obtain a Float-Approximation of the log
of a LongDecimal
- more and improved runit-Tests
