This release introduces AdvSIMD/SVE log, rsqrt, and pow variants; expands fp/ with complete double-precision arithmetic and conversions; and broadens CI/platform coverage while tightening pow/log/exp special-case handling, simplifying math configuration, and improving tests and benchmarks.
Main AOR directory
Add
- Add cygwin/newlib support for the string routines and tests.
- Update GitHub runners to refresh apt packages before installing dependencies.
Change
- aarch64 assembly now emits .cfi_negate_ra_state for correct unwind info.
- bench: Fix the memset benchmark typo that overflowed the size array.
fp/
Add
- Implement double-precision addition/subtraction, division, and comparisons.
- Add conversions between integers and double precision as well as between single and double precision.
- Replace the stub ui2f test with a real one and add GNU-style comparison helpers.
Change
- Rename the aux subdirectory and register aliases to avoid Windows toolchain issues.
- Apply multiple GNU assembler build fixes across the new fp sources.
math/
Add
- aarch64: Implement AdvSIMD log2p1 and SVE log2p1(f).
- aarch64: Implement AdvSIMD and SVE log10p1(f).
- aarch64: Implement AdvSIMD and SVE rsqrt(f).
- aarch64: Implement AdvSIMD and SVE powr(f) plus shared helpers.
- aarch64: Provide return-by-value AdvSIMD and SVE modf(f) and sincospi(f).
Change
- Remove float_t/double_t usage and drop WANT_SIMD_EXCEPT to simplify configuration.
- aarch64: Rework pow(f) and powr helpers, vectorise special cases, and fix negative or special argument handling.

- aarch64/advsimd: Optimise vectorised special cases for expf, exp2f, exp10f, exp2m1f, exp10m1f via new helpers.
- aarch64/advsimd: Vectorise expm1/expm1f special cases.
- aarch64/experimental: Remove ldexp from expm1(f).
- aarch64/sve: Improve scalar callbacks and special-case buffers.
- aarch64/sve: Vectorise exp/exp2/exp10/expm1 fallbacks.
