+
+Does the long division algorithm and typesets the results. The dividend must
+be a positive decimal number and the divisor must be a positive integer.
+Correctly handles repeating decimals, putting a bar over the repeated part of
+the decimal. Handles dividends up to 20 digits long gracefully (though the
+typeset result will take up about a page) and dividends between 20 and 60
+digits long slightly less gracefully.
+
+Defines macros \longdivision and \intlongdivision. Each takes two arguments,
+a dividend and divisor. \longdivision keeps dividing until the remainder is
+zero, or it encounters a repeated remainder. \longdivision stops when the
+dividend stops (though the dividend doesn't have to be an integer).
+
+\intlongdivision behaves similarly to the \longdiv command defined in
+longdiv.tex, though I think \intlongdivision looks better, and it can handle
+much larger dividends and divisors (the dividend is only constrained by the
+size of the page, and the divisor can be up to 8 digits long).
+
+See the package manual for more information.

+Changelog:
+==========
+
+## [1.1.0] (2018-10-08)
+### Fixed:
+- If the "\longdivision" command is in math mode, the numbers are typeset in math mode too (reported by Yu-Tsiang Tai).
+- The "\longdivision" command now can handle macros as arguments (as suggested by Mike Jenck).
+
+### Added:
+- Multiple typesetting styles
+- Multiple styles for indicating a repeating decimal
+- Typesetting partial long division (as suggested by Cameron McLeman).
+
+
+## [1.0.0] (2017-02-05)
+
