                           ANSI/IEEE Std 754-2019
                          http://754r.ucbtest.org

   Scope: The IEEE 754-2008 standard expired in 2019, so a minor revision
   was undertaken, to determine a set of relatively non-controversial
   upward-compatible editorial corrections and clarifications and minor
   enhancements to the 2008 standard. 754-2019 was approved by IEEE
   Standards Board on 13 June 2019 and published in July 2019. David
   Hough was chair, Mike Cowlishaw was editor. The base document was the
   technical content of ANSI/IEEE Std 754-2008.

   Subsequently, IEEE 754-2019 has been adopted by IEC through ISO/IEC
   JTC 1/SC 25 and published as ISO/IEC 60559:2020.

   The permanent archival site for the 754-2019 development is in [1]the
   MSC page.

   [2]Background documents are non-normative items intended to answer
   questions about the sponsor ballot draft's scope, intent, additions,
   changes, and motivations.

   A historical overview was published in [3]December 2019 IEEE Computer.
   Note that one sentence was accidentally duplicated - in the section
   headed "2008", the first and third paragraphs begin

     IEEE Standard 754-1985 was adopted in whole or in part by most
     microprocessor architectures as they began to incorporate hardware
     floating-point instructions.

   That sentence is correct and in context in the first paragraph, but
   out of context and inappropriate in the third paragraph, so ignore it.

   754-2019 is now in maintenance mode, and will expire in 2029. So
   another revision effort might soon commence, perhaps with more
   ambitious goals.
