seq defaults to a minimal fixed point format that does not lose

information if seq's operands are all fixed point decimal numbers.
You no longer need the `-f%.f' in `seq -f%.f 1048575 1024 1050623',
for example, since the default format now has the same effect.

seq now lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.

seq now uses long double internally rather than double.

+       * NEWS: seq now uses long double internally rather than double.
+       It now defaults to a minimal fixed point format if possible.
+       It lets you use %a, %A, %E, %F, %G.
+       * src/Makefile.am (seq_LDADD): Remove $(SEQ_LIBM); add $(POW_LIB).
+       * src/seq.c: Don't include <math.h> or <xstrtol.h>; no longer needed.
+       (isfinite) [!defined isfinite]: New macro.
+       (separator, terminator): Now points to const.
+       (first, step, last): Remove.
+       (usage): Update to match new behavior.
+       (struct operand, operand): New type.
+       (scan_arg): Renamed from scan_double_arg, since we no longer use double.
+       All uses changed.
+       Compute and return a value of type operand, not double.
+       (long_double_format): Renamed from valid_format, and now returns a
+       new format with an "L" added if needed, if the original format was
+       valid.  Allow %a, %A, %E, %F, and %G formats.
+       (print_numbers): Take numeric values as args rather than from globals.
+       Print long double, not double.
+       (get_width_format): Remove.
+       (get_default_format): New function.
+       (main): Implement new way of calculating default format.
+       Don't worry about locale's representation of the decimal point, since
+       the arguments are always processed in the C locale.
+       * tests/seq/basic (neg-2): Adjust to new default format.
+       (eq-wid-1, eq-wid-2): Resurrect these tests, since the new
+       implementation should do the right thing.

        * tests/stty/basic-1: Work around an intermittent test failure
