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.
- v1.0: Parallel Computing
