    Update to 6.0.0a:

    Changes between 6.0.0 and 6.0.0a:
    Not documented.

    Changes between GMP version 5.1.* and 6.0.0

      BUGS FIXED
      * The function mpz_invert now considers any number invertible in Z/1Z.

      * The mpn multiply code now handles operands of more than 2^31 limbs
        correctly.  (Note however that the mpz code is limited to 2^32 bits on
        32-bit hosts and 2^37 bits on 64-bit hosts.)

      * Contains all fixes from release 5.1.3.

      SPEEDUPS
      * Plain division of large operands is faster and more monotonous in operand
        size.

      * Major speedup for ARM, in particular ARM Cortex-A15, thanks to improved
        assembly.

      * Major speedup for SPARC T4/T5 and speedup also for T3, thanks to a lot of
        new assembly.

      * Speedup for Intel Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, Haswell, thanks to rewritten
        and vastly expanded assembly support.  Speedup also for the older Core 2
        and Nehalem.

      * Faster mixed arithmetic between mpq_class and double.

      * With g++, optimise more operations when one argument is a simple constant.

      FEATURES
      * Support for new Intel and AMD CPUs.

      * Support for ARM64 alias Aarch64 alias ARMv8.

      * New public functions mpn_sec_mul and mpn_sec_sqr, implementing side-channel
        silent multiplication and squaring.

      * New public functions mpn_sec_div_qr and mpn_sec_div_r, implementing
        side-channel silent division.

      * New public functions mpn_cnd_add_n and mpn_cnd_sub_n.  Side-channel silent
        conditional addition and subtraction.

      * New public function mpn_sec_powm, implementing side-channel silent modexp.

      * New public function mpn_sec_invert, implementing side-channel silent
        modular inversion.

      * Better support for applications which use the mpz_t type, but nevertheless
        need to call some of the lower-level mpn functions.  See the documentation
        for mpz_limbs_read and related functions.
