Math-BigInt 1.999808

on Perl CPAN

In Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat, add methods bdfac() for double
factorial. Add tests for this method.

In Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat, add methods to_hex(), to_oct(), and
to_bin() for hexadecimal, octal, and binary string output without prefix.
Even for Math::BigFloat there is still only support for integer output. Add
tests for these methods.

Add test for as_oct() corresponding to the old tests for as_hex() and
as_bin().

In Math::BigInt::Lib, add method _dfac() for double factorial. Add
corresponding tests.

In Math::BigInt::Lib, fix bug in overloaded "int".

In Math::BigInt::Lib, implement much faster versions of _from_hex(),
_from_oct(), and _from_bin().

In Makefile.PL, improve the wording in the message displayed if some of
the installed backend libraries are not a subclass of Math::BigInt::Lib (and
hence will not provide

Fix minor bugs in some of the author library test files (t/author-lib*.t).

Allow leading and trailing whitespace in the input to from_hex(),
from_oct(), and from_bin(). Add tests to verify. This is a regressions
(CPAN RT #119805).
