GMP language change

There has been major problems getting funding for GMP
development during
the last years, but today the GMP team has finally signed a
long-term
development support contract with the French state's
research agency
CNRS.

The contract will allow much wanted development of GMP, with
much
effort in writing Bull assembly code not only for the most
critical
operations, but also for the ones less used.

The only negative aspect of this deal is that we will have
to write
documentation in French instead of in English (the GMP web
pages has
already been translated) and that some library calls will
change.  The
list is not complete yet, but mpz_sub will become mpz_sous,
mpz_sub_ui
will be mpz_sous_ui, etc.  Don't worry about any
incompatibilities--We're
in talks with google about extending their translation tools
to include
GMP source code translation from English to French.

I applaud this move. I just started French lessons this year
and I'm  
eager to immerse myself in this language, including my
favorite library.

À bientôt !

Aussi, dès maintenant, tout support par courrier
électronique aura pour 
requis d’être écrit uniquement en Français.  Afin de rendre
cette 
transissions moins pénible, il y aura une période d’un mois
durant laquelle 
le support sera permit en Français et en Anglais (Avec
support en Français 
étant un minimum requis), mais il est établis qu’après la
fin de ce mois, 
tout messages sera requis d’être écrit uniquement en
Français.

Afin d’aider à faire respecter cette politique, un agent
automatisé filtrera 
chaque messages qui ne se conformera pas à cette règle.

J’espère que cela rendra cette transition la plus facile
possible.

Also, as of now, all mail support will also require to be
written solely in 
French.  To make the transition less painful, there will be
a one month 
adaptation period in which the mailing list support will be
allowed to be 
written in both French and English (French being a mandatory
requirement), 
but it is to be understood that after the end of this month,
every message 
will require to be written solely in French.

To help enforce this policy, an automated mail agent will
filter out every 
messages not conforming to this rule.

I hope that this will help the transition to be as painless
as possible.

No problem here. I don't understand French ... but I could
never understand 
the docs, anyway.

No problem here - I never use functions that involve hitting
the "Shift" 
key.

Cheers,

Being unilingual and English speaking this is a
disappointment.  Just one
question - will there be an English web site available?  I
had a look at the
new site and couldn't even figure out how to download GMP.
