+<li><p><strong>xintexpr</strong>: <code>\xintieval{[-D]...}</code>, which rounds to a multiple of <code>1eD</code> for <code>D</code> positive now <em>does not insert the trailing zeros</em> (as done at <code>1.4e</code>) <em>nor a scientific part</em> <code>eD</code> (as prior to <code>1.4e</code>). The use case envisioned is for the quantized value to be used with an appropriate unit, for example <code>k</code> for <code>D=3</code> or <code>M</code> for <code>D=6</code> etc… Sorry for the very long process which was needed to reach this final decision.</p></li>
+<li><p><strong>xintexpr</strong>: for Digits beyond the officially supported range for accurate math functions, i.e. for <code>D>62</code>, computations were still done and printed with full number of digits, but the extra digits were meaningless; they now operate on and output mantissas limited to <code>min(D,64)</code> digits.</p></li>
+<li><p><strong>xintexpr</strong>: for powers <code>a^b</code> with Digits at most <code>8</code>, the number <code>a</code> is now float-rounded to Digits before computation, as is done for <code>Digits>8</code>; previously <code>9</code> significant digits were kept.</p></li>
+<li><p><strong>xintexpr</strong>: further changes in the computation of powers, see the bug fixes below.</p></li>

+<ul>
+<li><p><strong>xintexpr</strong>: the documentation said <code>float_()</code> function had been renamed <code>float_dgt()</code> but actually that was not yet the case.</p></li>
+<li><p><strong>xintexpr</strong>: powers <code>a^b</code> (with exponent <code>b</code> neither integer nor half-integer) stopped being accurate regarding the last digits for <code>|b|</code> about <code>1000</code> and beyond. Except for <code>0.8<a<1.25</code> for which accuracy was maintained up to about <code>|b|=10^7</code>. Fixed via keeping the same suitable number of extra digits for internal computations of logarithms, independently of whether <code>a</code> is close to <code>1</code> or not.</p></li>
+<li><p><strong>xintexpr</strong>: powers <code>a^b</code> in <code>\xinteval</code> with <code>|b|</code> an integer at least <code>10000</code> were paradoxically computed with less accuracy than in <code>\xintfloateval</code>… although they were documented to be handled exactly the same in the two parsers.</p></li>
+<li><p><strong>xintexpr</strong>: powers <code>a^b</code> for Digits at most <code>8</code> unconditionally used <code>log10()/pow10()</code> approach but due to the limited accuracy of the poorman logarithm (<code>9</code> fractional digits) this was inaccurate already for <code>b</code> about <code>100</code>. So, the handling is now as for Digits at least <code>9</code>, i.e. integer and half-integer exponents are handled via the legacy <code>\xintFloatPower/\xintFloatSqrt</code> allowing arbitrarily big exponents. It is advised to split big powers with non integer non half integer exponents into a product; this is not done internally to avoid costly overhead for possibly rare use cases.</p></li>
+<li><p><strong>xintexpr</strong>: the invalid input <code>(-1)^2.5</code> triggered an undefined control sequence error if Digits was at most <code>8</code>.</p></li>

 <ul>
 <li><p><strong>xintlog</strong>: <code>\poormanloghack</code> now a no-op.</p></li>
 <li><p><strong>xinttrig</strong>: loading the package does not define left-over variables holding the values of the inverse factorials used in the sine and cosine series.</p></li>
 <li><p><strong>xintexpr</strong>: the output format of <code>\xinteval</code>, which uses <code>\xintFracToSci,</code> has changed. In particular, if the number has a power of ten part, it is not output with an integer mantissa, but with a scientific mantissa <code>d.d...</code> with always at least one digit after the decimal mark (possibly <code>0</code>) and trailing zeros are trimmed out. This is the same output format as used for <code>\xintfloateval</code>, apart of course from the fact that the mantissa lengths are not limited.</p></li>
-<li><p><strong>xintexpr</strong>: the output format of <code>\xintfloateval</code>, which uses <code>\xintPFloat</code>, changed. The <code>\xintfloatexprPrintOne</code> macro now expects to be used with either one or two arguments, the first one being within brackets not braces. It defaults to <code>\xintPFloat</code>.</p></li>

 <li><p><strong>xintexpr</strong>: when using <code>\xintieval{[D]...}</code> optional <code>[D]</code> with a negative <code>D</code>, which triggers quantization to a positive power of ten, the output (if not the zero value) will be an integer with <code>N=abs(D)</code> explicit trailing zeros, not an integer mantissa followed by <code>eN</code>.</p></li>
 <li><p><strong>xintexpr</strong>: <code>\xinteval</code> will not compute powers <code>a^N</code> exactly if <code>N</code> in absolute value is at least the (rounded) quotient of <code>10000</code> by the number of digits of <code>a</code>; it will then use the logarithm/exponential (in base 10) approach, according to the prevailing Digits setting.</p></li>
 <li><p><strong>xintexpr</strong>: <code>\xintdeffloatvar</code> now always rounds the assigned value to the target precision. Formerly, inputs actually involving no float operations, such as for example <code>\xintexpr1/20!\relax</code> (in contrast to <code>1/20!</code>), or an explicit single number having more digits than the precision, got stored “as is” in the defined variable, without pre-rounding to the Digits precision.</p></li>
-<li><p><strong>xintfrac</strong>:<code>\xintPFloat</code> and <code>\xintFracToSci</code> behave differently. The macro <code>\xintFracToSciE</code> does not exist anymore, as <code>\xintFracToSci</code> in the case of scientific exponents hands over the process to <code>\xintPFloat</code> (without the rounding to Digits, of course).</p></li>

+### Breaking changes
+
+ - **xintexpr**: `\xintieval{[-D]...}`, which rounds to a multiple of
+   `1eD` for `D` positive now *does not insert the trailing zeros* (as
+   done at `1.4e`) *nor a scientific part* `eD` (as prior to `1.4e`).
+   The use case envisioned is for the quantized value to be used with an
+   appropriate unit, for example `k` for `D=3` or `M` for `D=6`
+   etc... Sorry for the very long process which was needed to reach this
+   final decision.
+
+ - **xintexpr**: for Digits beyond the officially supported range for
+   accurate math functions, i.e. for `D>62`, computations were still
+   done and printed with full number of digits, but the extra digits
+   were meaningless; they now operate on and output mantissas limited to
+   `min(D,64)` digits.
+ 
+ - **xintexpr**: for powers `a^b` with Digits at most `8`, the number
+   `a` is now float-rounded to Digits before computation, as is done for
+   `Digits>8`; previously `9` significant digits were kept.
+
+ - **xintexpr**: further changes in the computation of powers, see the
+   bug fixes below.
+
+ - **xintexpr**: the `float_()` function got renamed into `float_dgt()`.
+ 
+### Bug fixes
+
+ - **xintexpr**: the documentation said `float_()` function had been
+   renamed `float_dgt()` but actually that was not yet the case.
+
+ - **xintexpr**: powers `a^b` (with exponent `b` neither integer nor
+   half-integer) stopped being accurate regarding the last digits for
+   `|b|` about `1000` and beyond.  Except for `0.8<a<1.25` for which
+   accuracy was maintained up to about `|b|=10^7`.  Fixed via keeping
+   the same suitable number of extra digits for internal computations of
+   logarithms, independently of whether `a` is close to `1` or not.
+
+ - **xintexpr**: powers `a^b` in `\xinteval` with `|b|` an integer at
+   least `10000` were paradoxically computed with less accuracy than in
+   `\xintfloateval`... although they were documented to be handled
+   exactly the same in the two parsers.
+
+ - **xintexpr**: powers `a^b` for Digits at most `8` unconditionally
+   used `log10()/pow10()` approach but due to the limited accuracy of
+   the poorman logarithm (`9` fractional digits) this was inaccurate
+   already for `b` about `100`. So, the handling is now as for Digits at
+   least `9`, i.e. integer and half-integer exponents are handled via
+   the legacy `\xintFloatPower/\xintFloatSqrt` allowing arbitrarily big
+   exponents. It is advised to split big powers with non integer non
+   half integer exponents into a product; this is not done internally
+   to avoid costly overhead for possibly rare use cases.
+
+ - **xintexpr**: the invalid input `(-1)^2.5` triggered an undefined
+   control sequence error if Digits was at most `8`.

+  being zeros the closer the input is close to \dtt{1}.}
 
+Important notes regarding powers:\IMPORTANT{}
+\begin{enumerate}[noitemsep]
+\item Powers |a^b| (or |a**b|, or |pow(a,b)|) in \csbxint{eval} with an
+  integer exponent are computed exactly if
+  the output is estimated to not exceed by much \dtt{10000} digits. Else, or
+  for non-integer exponents, they are computed as in \csbxint{floateval}
+  (see \csbxint{Pow}).
+\item Powers |a^b| in \csbxint{floateval} are computed differently according
+  to the exponent |b|:
+  \begin{itemize}[noitemsep]
+    \item if |b| is an integer or half-integer the legacy \csbxint{FloatPower}
+      (and, for |b| half-integer, \csbxint{FloatSqrt}) are used; they work in
+      arbitrary precision, so the result is produced with a full-size
+      mantissa, even if |Digits| is more than \dtt{62},
+    \item else the computation goes via the |10^(b*log10(a))| formula (done
+      internally with increased accuracy) and the mantissa lengths will be
+      limited in output to the smallest of |Digits| or \dtt{64}.  In this
+      branch the last digits of the mantissa will start being wrong if |b|
+      becomes about (in absolute value) \dtt{100000000}. If you really need to
+      compute powers with exponents that large or larger, it is recommended to
+      decompose the exponent as a sum of the nearest integer or half-integer
+      and a fractional part and express the power as a product. This is not
+      done automatically as it would add some overhead in general for some a
+      priori very rare use cases. And recall that the decimal exponents of
+      final and intermediate results should obey the \TeX\ bound for integers
+      anyhow, i.e. be at most (in absolute value) \dtt{\number"7FFFFFFF}, add some
+      safety margin...
+    \item if |Digits| is at most \dtt{8}, logarithms are computed faster but
+      with less accuracy (internally, between \dtt{8} and \dtt{9} \emph{fixed
+        point fractional digits} accuracy) and powers |a^b| lose accuracy in
+      last digits quickly as |b| rises. Here is what I observed in limited
+      random tests:
+      \begin{itemize}[noitemsep]
+      \item for |b| integer or half-integer, all our tested samples gave
+        correct rounding to \dtt{8} digits and we tested this with the
+        exponent |b| up to \dtt{1000000000.5},
+      \item for |b| neither integer nor half-integer and |1<b<10|, we observed
+        roughly \dtt{8} correct digits in between \dtt{80}\% and \dtt{90}\% of
+        cases and the remaining cases had only a \dtt{1ulp} error.
+      \item for |b| neither integer nor half-integer and |10^e<b<10^(e+1)|,
+        then roughly \dtt{8-e} digits are correct for around
+        \dtt{90}\% of cases and there is a one unit error in the last of
+        those digits in the remaining cases.
+      \end{itemize}
+      To maintain higher accuracy, split the input as |a^n a^h| with |n|
+      integer or half-integer nearest to |b|. After having considered (and
+      implemented) the method, decision was made to not incorporate it as it
+      would induce serious overhead generally speaking. The |a^b| with
+      fractional exponent |b| such that |abs(b)<10| are currently computed
+      with at most \dtt{1ulp} error in the vast majority of cases it seems,
+      which is largely precise enough for plots, and then speed matters
+      most. Larger exponents can be handled (since |1.4f|) via manually
+      implementing the splitting trick, as described above.
+  \end{itemize}
+\end{enumerate}
 
+The documentation of the legacy macro \csbxint{FloatPower} (which is used for
+powers with integer and half-integer exponents) explains it has a guaranteed
+error bound of |0.52ulp|, in arbitrary precision. Generally speaking, the math
+functions added at |1.4e| target even smaller errors (but only up to \dtt{62}
+digits), something of the order of |0.505ulp|, and in practice they seem to
+achieve even better than \dtt{99\%} of correct rounding probability (at least
+in their natural ranges, and it varies according to the value of
+|Digits|). Perhaps in future I will re-examine whether it is worthwile to
+increase a bit the theoretical accuracy of \csbxint{FloatPower}, as I have not
+had the time to really measure systematically its pratical accuracy, all
+anecdotical evidence showing it is good.

-% exponents, under a criterion which guarantees output (numerator and

+% Support macro for a^b in \xinteval. This overloads the original
+% $xintfracnameimp macro, keeping its original meaning only for integer
+% exponents, which are not too big: for exact evaluation of A^b, we want the
+% output to not have more than about 10000 digits (separately for numerator
+% and denominator). For this we limit b depending on the length of A, simply
+% we want b to be smaller than the rounded value of 10000 divided by the
+% length of A. For one-digit A, this would give 10000 as maximal exponent but
+% due to organization of code related to avoir arithmetic overflow (we can't
+% immediately operate in \numexpr with b as it is authorized to be beyond TeX
+% bound), the maximal exponent is 9999.
 %
+% The criterion, which guarantees output (numerator and
+% denominator separately) does not exceed by much 10000 digits if at all is
+% that the exponent should be less than the (rounded in the sense of \numexpr)
+% quotient of 10000 by the number of digits of a (considering separately
+% numerator and denominator).
+%
+% The decision whether to compute A^b exactly depends on the length of
+% internal representation of A. So 9^9999 is evaluated exactly (in \xinteval)
+% but for 9.0 it is 9.0^5000 the maximal power.  This may change in future.
+%
+% 1.4e had the following bug (for Digits>8): big integer exponents used the
+% log10()/pow10() based approach rather than the legacy macro path which goes
+% via \xintFloatPower, as done by \xintfloateval! As a result powers very
+% large integer exponents were more precise in \xintfloateval than in \xinteval!
+%
+% 1.4f fixes this. Also, it handles Digits<=8 as Digits>8, bringing much
+% simplification here.
