Each tarball is signed by Vincent Lefèvre. This can be verified
using the DSA key ID 98C3739D; this key can be retrieved with:

  gpg --recv-keys 98C3739D

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 3.1.1 to version 3.1.2:
- Bug fixes (see <http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-3.1.1/#fixed> or ChangeLog file).
- Updated examples to the MPFR 3.x API.

Note: The official tarballs for MPFR up to 3.1.1 were affected by a
vulnerability for "make distcheck" due to a bug in old GNU Automake
versions: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-3386
One of the purposes of this release is to provide tarballs without
this vulnerability.

You can send success and failure reports to <address@hidden>, 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 3.1.2 web page.
