Note: Current stable releases are version 2.5.0 for kForth-32 and 
version 0.5.0 for kForth-64. Versions 2.6.0 and 0.6.0 are development 
versions and may be updated frequently.

A bug in the code for kforth64-fast, for calling external library 
routines, was fixed at kForth-64 commit eefad24.

I've added the MPFR library test code to the battery of tests I perform 
before pushing commits to the kForth repos. The updated list of 
automated tests are:

System tests -- these are the numerous test progs found in 
forth-src/system-test

FSL tests -- tests of complex number arithmetic and FSL modules, found 
in forth-src/fsl : complex-test.4th and fsl-tester.4th

External library interface -- libmpfr-test.4th in forth-src/libs/gmp/

Other tests -- these are found in forth-src/
   parallel-mm.4th
   dd-test.4th
   ftran-test.4th
   lists-test.4th
   lz77-test.4th
   rawfloat-test.4th
   strings-test.4th
   hmac-md5-test.4th

Testing is a large part of the development, since I use my own programs!
