ANN: pure-mpfr 0.1, pure-stlvec 0.1

[Albert Graef]

I thought that I should announce these separately so that they don't get
lost in all the noise about the Pure 0.48 release.

pure-mpfr is an interface to the GNU mpfr (multiprecision floating point
with proper rounding) library (http://www.mpfr.org/). It plugs into
Pure's numeric tower in order to provide seamless integration of mpfr
numbers into Pure.

pure-stlvec is Peter Summerland's STL vector interface for Pure. It
provides you with a flexible and efficient mutable array data structure
capable of storing arbitrary Pure expressions which mostly follows the
"standard" Pure container API.

You'll remember that we discussed these on the mailing list before. Here
are the initial releases of these modules. They both require Pure 0.48
(or later).

Downloads:
http://pure-lang.googlecode.com/files/pure-mpfr-0.1.tar.gz
http://pure-lang.googlecode.com/files/pure-stlvec-0.1.tar.gz

Windows users: Both packages are already included in the pure-0.48.msi
package.

Documentation for these packages is already available online, so please
check these links for all the gory details:
http://docs.pure-lang.googlecode.com/hg/pure-mpfr.html
http://docs.pure-lang.googlecode.com/hg/pure-stlvec.html

Enjoy! :)

I already released a new version of this package, as I found a critical
bug (mpfr* values leaked memory). You can find the latest version here:

http://pure-lang.googlecode.com/files/pure-mpfr-0.2.tar.gz

I also updated the pure-0.48.msi Windows package so that it includes the
latest version of this module.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
