Each tarball is signed by Vincent Lefèvre. This can be verified using
the DSA key ID 980C197698C3739D; this key can be retrieved with:

  gpg --recv-keys 980C197698C3739D

or by downloading it from <https://www.vinc17.net/pgp.html>.
The key fingerprint is:

  07F3 DBBE CC1A 3960 5078  094D 980C 1976 98C3 739D

The signatures can be verified with: gpg --verify <file.asc>
You should check that the key fingerprint matches.

Changes from version 4.0.0 to version 4.0.1:
- Improved MPFR manual.
- Improved __GMP_CC and __GMP_CFLAGS retrieval (in particular for MS Windows).
- Fixed a build failure on some platforms when --with-gmp-build is used.
- Bug fixes (see ChangeLog file), in particular in mpfr_div_ui, which
  could yield an incorrectly rounded result to nearest when using
  different precisions; this bug had been present since the introduction
  of mpfr_div_ui, and in MPFR 4.0.0, it was affecting mpfr_div too.
- New: optional "make check-exported-symbols", mainly for the MPFR developers
  and binary distributions, to check that MPFR does not define symbols with a
  GMP reserved prefix (experimental).

You can send success and failure reports to <mpfr at inria.fr>, and give
us the canonical system name (by running the "./config.guess" script),
the processor and the compiler version, in order to complete the
"Platforms Known to Support MPFR" section of the MPFR 4.0.1 web page.
