+<li><p>macro <code>\xintFloat</code> which rounds its input to a floating point number does <em>not</em> print anymore <code>10.0...0eN</code> to signal an upwards rounding to the next power of ten. The mantissa has in all cases except the zero input exactly one digit before the decimal mark.</p></li>
+<li><p>some floating point computations may differ in the least significant digits, due to a change in the rounding algorithm applied to macro arguments expressed as fractions and to an improvement in precision regarding half-integer powers in expressions. See next.</p></li>

<h3 id="improvements-and-new-features">Improvements and new features</h3>
<ul>
+<li><p>the initial rounding to the target precision <code>P</code> which is applied by the floating point macros from <strong>xintfrac</strong> to their arguments achieves the <em>exact (aka correct) rounding</em> even for inputs which are fractions with more than <code>P+2</code> digits in their numerators and denominators (<code>&gt;1</code>.) Hence the computed values depend only on the arguments as rational numbers and not upon their representatives. This is not relevant to <em>expressions</em> (<strong>xintexpr</strong>), because the <code>\xintfloatexpr</code> parser sees there <code>/</code> as an operator and does not (apart from special constructs) get to manipulate fractions as such.</p></li>
+<li><p><code>\xintnewdummy</code> is public interface to a <code>1.2e</code> macro which serves to declare any given catcode 11 character as a dummy variable for expressions (<strong>xintexpr</strong>). This is useful for Unicode engines (the Latin letters being already all pre-declared as dummy variables.)</p></li>
+<li><p>added <code>\xintiSqrtR</code>, there was only <code>\xintiiSqrtR</code> alongside <code>\xintiSqrt</code> and <code>\xintiiSqrt</code> (<strong>xint</strong>).</p></li>
+<li><p>added non public <code>\xintLastItem:f:csv</code> to <strong>xinttools</strong> for faster <code>last()</code> function, and improved <code>\xintNewExpr</code> compatibility. Also <code>\xintFirstItem:f:csv</code>.</p></li>

+<ul>
+<li><p>the <code>1.2f</code> half-integer powers computed within <code>\xintfloatexpr</code> had a silly rounding to the target precision just <em>before</em> the final square-root extraction, thus possibly losing some precision. The <code>1.2k</code> implementation keeps guard digits for this final square root extraction. As for integer exponents, it is guaranteed that the computed value differs from the exact one by less than <code>0.52 ulp</code> (for inputs having at most <code>\xinttheDigits</code> digits.)</p></li>
+<li><p>more regressions from <code>1.2i</code> were fixed: <code>\xintLen</code> (<strong>xint</strong>, <strong>xintfrac</strong>) and <code>\xintDouble</code> (<strong>xintcore</strong>) had forgotten that their argument was allowed to be negative. A regression test suite is now in place and is being slowly expanded to cover more macros.</p></li>
+<li><p><code>\xintiiSquareRoot{0}</code> now produces <code>{1}{1}</code>, which fits better the general documented behaviour of this macro than <code>11</code>.</p></li>
