Math-BigInt 1.999817

on Perl CPAN

Avoid non-integers in intermediate computations in Math::BigInt::Calc. This
causes errors due to rounding issues, e.g., 47265625999999999 / 1000000000
is 47265626 with double precision.

Remove api_version() and the corresponding test file. There is no need to
check which methods are supported by a backend library now that each backend
library is a subclass of Math::BigInt::Lib. Methods not provided in the
backend library are provided by the parent class.

Add to_ieee745() and from_ieee754().

Add backermann() and ackermann() for the Ackermann function.

Add buparrow() and uparrow() for Knuth's up-arrow notation.

Add information about the github repository.

Update links in SUPPORT section in POD.

Fix bpow(). It returned NaN when it should truncate to zero.

Make blsft() in Math::BigInt allow bases up until the largest unsigned
integer.

Make _lsft() in Math::BigInt::Calc handle an arbitrarily large base.

Add new methods bdigitsum() and digitsum() to Math::BigInt. Add new method
_digitsum() to Math::BigInt::Lib.

Add new methods is_non_negative() and is_non_positive().

Extend the default collation sequence used by to_base() and from_base() to
all the 94 printable ASCII characters except blank/space.

Make new() in Math::BigFloat handle octal floating point numbers.

Slightly more robust t/01load.t.

Remove unused variables.

Miscellaneous code cleanup.
