Log Message:
p5-Math-BigInt: update to 1.999818.
* Fix CPAN RT #130736 regarding numify() on a Math::BigFloat with a large
number of digits and an equally large, but negative, exponent.
* Fix a problem in to_ieee754() due to rounding in bpow().
1.999817 2019-10-11
* 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.
