Changes for version 0.10 - 2017-07-09

  • ADDITIONS
    • Added the `exp2(x)` and `exp10(x)` functions.
    • Added the `ipow2(x)` and `ipow10(x)` functions.
    • Added the `falling_factorial(n, k)` and `rising_factorial(n, k)` functions.
  • PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS
    • Faster stringification of floating-point numbers (including complex numbers).
    • Optimization in `mfactorial(n, m)` for native integers.
    • Optimization in `binomial(n, k)` for values of `n` that fit inside an unsigned integer.
  • FIXES
    • Fixed `eta(NaN)` to return `NaN` instead of `log(2)`.
    • Fixed `atanh(NaN)` to return `NaN` instead of `NaN+NaNi`.
    • Fixed the return value of `lgrt(+i)` and `lgrt(-i)`.
