v0.018004

Final bugfix for #14; verified on ivsize=4

v0.018001

Fix .travis.yml bug and makefile bug...

v0.018

v0.018 2017-Jun-14 (2017-Sep-23)
- changing names per the naming-convention issue#6
+ make
:floatingpoint, to_hex_floatingpoint(), to_dec_floatingpoint()
aliases to
:convertToString, convertToHexString(),
convertToDecimalString()
+ make
:raw754, hexstr754_from_double(), binstr754_from_double(),
hexstr754_to_double(), binstr754_to_double()
aliases to
:internalString, convertToInternalHexString(),
convertToInternalBinaryString(), convertFromInternalHexString(),
convertFromInternalBinaryString()
+ for convertToDecimalString() and convertToHexString, add in optional
conversionSpecification -- it specifiers the number of digits after the
fractional-point.
- meta: improve test coverage, documentation, development automation

v0.017_002 alpha release for CPAN::Testers

I've solidified on naming convention (#6), at least for now. Bring it back into the trunk and then tag an alpha release

v0.016

v0.016 2016-Aug-29
- had a bug in v0.014 Makefile which caused CPAN to not
index; tried a couple of submissions, none of which
really did what I wanted. Will try to move up to next
public release version number (v0.016), and ask PAUSE
to forget the incorrect v0.14001.0 release, and hopefully
re-index to this release.

(forgot to make the GitHub release; publishing Aug-31)

v0.012

v0.012 2016-Jul-14
- test coverage: Devel::Cover showed two conditionals which can only ever
trigger one of the two (impossible to hit the opposite); remove the
unnecessary conditional
- bugfix https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=116005: get SNAN,
expect QNAN
- original code always expected QNAN, because all of the developer's
machines automatically quiet SNAN to QNAN
- v0.011_001: Test suite for :floatingpoint now converts SNAN to expect
/[SQ]NAN/, because it doesn't really matter that much whether Perl
silences a signaling NAN
- bugfix https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=116006
- getting NAN instead of expected value on nextup(NEGATIVE NORMAL) or
nextdown(POSITIVE NORMAL)
- v0.011_001: when LSB underflows (goes to -1), the hexification is too
many F's; misinterpreted when the two were being recombined, so masked
the MSB and LSB before merging
- bugfix https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=116004
- test suite getting -0.160000000000000003 when expecting -0.16
- caused by systems with $Config{nvsize} > 8: code expected 64bit NV (some
CPAN Testers have 128bit NV)
- v0.011_002: change test suite to only compare enough significant figures
for a 64bit double, so that even 128bit floats (quad?) will pass
- v0.011_004: added documentation to explain that the module expects
64bit NV, rounds off more-precise NV floats to 64bit, and will fail
tests on 32bit NV (but might coerce to 64bit floats and might still
"work" if the installation is forced)
