Maintenance release. - The underscore character _ is accepted by the xintexpr parsers as a digit separator. Example: \xinttheiiexpr 123_456_789 * 1111_2222_3333 \relax It is not allowed as _first_ character of a number, as it would then be mis-interpreted as the start of a possible variable name. Only expressions handle it (the space character can also separate digits there), not macros. The LaTeX package bnumexpr will also accept the underscore as digit separator in its upcoming release. - Some refactoring in xintcore for some small efficiency gains. - Some macros were not robust against arguments whose expansion looks forward for some termination (e.g. \number\mathcode`\-), and many more were broken if the inputs used a non-terminated \numexpr, e.g. \xintAdd{\the\numexpr1}{2}. The user manual never said this was legal input, but it was slightly inconvenient. Most macros have now been made robust against such non properly terminated inputs. In expressions though, a \numexpr swallowing the ending \relax is definitely still to be avoided, as the parser absolutely needs to hit against such a token at some point. - A few minor bugfixes, see CHANGES.pdf or CHANGES.html for the details.
