  We calculate the free energy of the quantum uniform electron gas for
temperatures from near zero to 100 times the Fermi energy, approaching the
classical limit. An extension of the Vashista-Singwi theory to finite
temperatures and self-consistent compressibility sum rule is presented.
Comparisons are made to other local field correction methods, as well as recent
quantum Monte Carlo simulation and classical map based results. Accurate fits
to the exchange-correlation free energy from both theory and simulation are
given for future practical applications.
