FixedPointDecimals v0.6.0

Diff since v0.5.6

Breaking Changes

• The checked operations Base.Checked.add_with_overflow, mul_with_overflow, etc no longer promote their arguments.
  • This is because overflow may occur during promotion and conversion itself.
  • So you are expected to handle promotion on your own (where you can also check for overflow before converting), and then you can call these checked operators.
  • If you were relying on this type of operation before, it is no longer defined, and you will get a MethodError:

    Base.Checked.add_with_overflow(FixedDecimal{Int8,2}(0.0), 1)
    

  • This is to avoid the following scenario:

    julia> Base.Checked.add_with_overflow(FixedDecimal{Int8,2}(0.0), 2)
    ERROR: InexactError: convert(FixedDecimal{Int8, 2}, 2)
