Change Log
==========

- v0.1: Initial release
	- Basic prime calculation.
	- Uses a growing vector of known primes and gets the modulus of the number divided by these primes.
	- Uses type `long long' to hold prime numbers.
- v0.2: Multi-Precision
	- Switch to C.
	- Uses GNU Multiple Precision library (GMP) to hold prime numbers, allowing for 'infinite' size.
	- Add `likely()' and `unlikely()' macros to optimize.
- v0.2.1: Memory Leak Fixes
	- Fixed a major memory leak at the end of the program.
	- Added more optimizers.
- v0.3: Optimizations
	- Algorithm skips half the known primes.
	- Removed `likely()' and `unlikely()' macros due to lack of information.
	- Improved performance.
- v0.4: Fixed Algorithm
	- Fixed algorithm to actually calculate primes.
	- Added extra C99 optimizations.
- v0.5: Minor Changes
	- Use `size_t' instead of `unsigned long long int'.
	- Minor optimizations to the algorithm.
	- Added commandline argument parsing.
- v0.6: User Control
	- Allow user to choose base in which the prime numbers are printed.
	- Give option for primes to be saved to a file upon exit.
	- Free memory and leave instead of emergency exit.
- v0.7: Data Saving
	- Allow user to save found primes to be loaded later.
	- User can save and read primes in raw output.
- v1.0: Parallelization
	- Now completely parallelized.
	- Cleaned up/organized the code-base
	- Exporting files uses less memory
	- Allow searching for the nth prime number
	- Clearing some memory leaks
