The Linux kForth packages (32-bit x86 and 64-bit x86_64) on Github have undergone substantial revision in the assembler portion of the VM code. The current version numbers are 2.6.0 for the 32-bit package and 0.6.0 for the 64-bit package.
...

Note: Current stable releases are version 2.5.0 for kForth-32 and version 0.5.0 for kForth-64. Versions 2.6.0 and 0.6.0 are development versions and may be updated frequently.
A bug in the code for kforth64-fast, for calling external library routines, was fixed at kForth-64 commit eefad24.
I've added the MPFR library test code to the battery of tests I perform before pushing commits to the kForth repos. The updated list of automated tests are:
System tests -- these are the numerous test progs found in forth-src/system-test
FSL tests -- tests of complex number arithmetic and FSL modules, found in forth-src/fsl : complex-test.4th and fsl-tester.4th
External library interface -- libmpfr-test.4th in forth-src/libs/gmp/
Other tests -- these are found in forth-src/
   parallel-mm.4th
   dd-test.4th
   ftran-test.4th
   lists-test.4th
   lz77-test.4th
   rawfloat-test.4th
   strings-test.4th
   hmac-md5-test.4th
Testing is a large part of the development, since I use my own programs!
