This update contains only documentation changes (new main repository
URL and changed mail address of the program author) and changes to
the build system that do not affect the FreeBSD base system build.

This update fixes a few issues in history editing and the processing
of the "quit" function. The "quit" function will no longer cause bc
to exit when encountered in a script file (before any command from
the script has been executed).
New functions is_number(), is_string return 1 if the passed argument
is a number resp. a string. The asciify() function has been extended
to support the conversion of an array of numbers into a string.
Merge commit '1a63323d17fedb05b6962853e821c9d7c6b9853e'
This version adds options and functions that allow to print numbers
in the open interval (-1 .. 1) with or without a leading 0 digit.
Additionally, an option has been added to prevent line wrap and
allows to print arbitrarily long results on a single line.

Merge commit 2f57ecae4b
This is a new major release with a number of changes and extensions:
- Limited the number of temporary numbers and made the space for them
static so that allocating more space for them cannot fail.
- Allowed integers with non-zero scale to be used with power, places,
and shift operators.
- Added greatest common divisor and least common multiple to lib2.bc.
- Made bc and dc UTF-8 capable.
- Added the ability for users to have bc and dc quit on SIGINT.
- Added the ability for users to disable prompt and TTY mode by
environment variables.
- Added the ability for users to redefine keywords.
- Added dc's modular exponentiation and divmod to bc.
- Added the ability to assign strings to variables and array elements
and pass them to functions in bc.
- Added dc's asciify command and stream printing to bc.
- Added bitwise and, or, xor, left shift, right shift, reverse,
left rotate, right rotate, and mod functions to lib2.bc.
- Added the functions s2u(x) and s2un(x,n), to lib2.bc.

Update to version 4.0.0
This version fixes an issue (missing pop of top-of-stack value in the
"P" command of the dc program).
This issue did not affect the bc program, since it does not use dc as
an back-end to actually perform the calculations as was the case with
the traditional bc and dc programs.
The major number has been bumped due to Windows support that has been
added to this version. It does not correspond to a major change that
might affect FreeBSD.
This version fixes a regression with regard to tradtional behavior of the
non-standard FreeBSD option "-e". In the previous version "-e quit" caused
bc to exit before any computations had been performed, since all -e option
parameters were concatenated and parsed as a whole, with quit causing the
program to exit as soon as it was parsed. This version parses and executes
commands passed with -e one by one and only exits after all prior commands
have been executed.
This commit is not a SVN merge, since the vendor import had been performed
after the import to contrib. Instead the contents of contrib/bc has been
removed and the new version is copied over unchanged from vendor/bc/dist.
