Comment (by Bruce Dubbs):

 Changes from version 4.2.1 to version 4.2.2:
 - In order to resolve a portability issue with the _Float128 fallback to
   __float128 for binary128 support (e.g. with Clang and glibc 2.41), the
   prototypes of the corresponding conversion functions had to be changed,
   with _Float128 replaced by mpfr_float128, where mpfr_float128 is a macro
   defined as _Float128 by default. This changes neither the ABI nor the
 API
   (except that the end user of MPFR would need to define mpfr_float128 as
   the actual type for the binary128 format if this is not the standard
   _Float128 type).
 - Other bug fixes (see <https://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-4.2.1/#fixed> and/or the
   ChangeLog file). In particular, the formatted output functions behaved
   incorrectly with %c on the value 0; such a use is uncommon, but this bug
   may have security implications.
 - Improved MPFR manual.
 - Detect the use of GMP's buggy vsnprintf replacement at configure time.
   With it, the tests of "%a" will be disabled to avoid an assertion
 failure
   in the MPFR testsuite. A warning will be displayed in the configure
 output
   in such a case.
