Changes for version 1.999825 - 2021-09-28

  • Make Math::BigInt accept integers regardless of whether they are written as decimal, binary, octal, or hexadecimal integers or decimal, binary, octal, or hexadecimal floating point number.
  • When numeric constants are overloaded (with the ":constant" option) in Math::BigInt, every numeric constant that represent an integer is converted to an object regardless of how it is written. All finite non-integers are converted to a NaN.
  • When numeric constants are overloaded (with the ":constant" option) in Math::BigFloat, every numeric constant is converted to an object regardless of how it is written.
  • Add method from_dec() (cf. from_bin(), from_oct(), and from_hex()). It is like new() except that it does not accept anything but a string representing a finite decimal number.
