Hi Team,

stringencoders 3.10 is out. This one contains an security fix for NaN
handling in modp_dtoa.

http://code.google.com/p/stringencoders/downloads/detail?name=stringencoders-v3.10.0.tar.gz

19-Mar-2010: 3.10.0 release

Security fix: modp_dota did not handle NaN correct, and may have a
buffer overflow problem (certainly produced junk as output).. Added
unit tests to specifically target this issue.

New function: Thanks to IPonWeb: modp_dtoa2 converts floating point
numbers to a string, but without trailing zeros. It's a nice addition
since this type of function doesn't exist in the printf-family.

Minor fixes to unit test source code to play nice on 64-bit machines
(sprintf and type problems).

Redid autoconf again. Mac OS X will complain but should work. Tested
on Ubuntu 9.10 both 32 and 64 bit. Please file a ticket if "./
configure" breaks.

enjoy!
