+       * grand.c: Updated G_RAND_DOUBLE_TRANSFORM to be more
+       accurate. Redid g_rand_double() such that it returns 52 bits after
+       the point instead of 32 as before. That OTOH requires calling
+       g_rand_int() twice. Overhauled g_rand_int_range(), which is easier
+       now thanks to the new precision of g_rand_double(). Thanks to
+       Sverre Johansen <sj@ifi.uio.no> for the hint.
+
+       * grand.h: Added g_rand_boolean() and g_random_boolean()
+       macros. While they could be omitted due to extreme simplicity,
+       they make intention clearer in code and are therefore good to have.
+
+       * grand.c, grand.h: Renamed all 'min' and 'max' parameters to'
+       begin' and 'end' resp. to avoid making people think, that 'max' is
+       included in the interval. 'end' now isn't, whereas 'begin'
+       is. That's similar to the use in the STL.
+
        * gslist.c, glist.c: Ok, I'm a moron. When I originally
        implemented ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY, I forgot to include config.h into
        the affected files. Now that Alex did that for those two,
