v2.0.1

Decimal v2.0.1

Stable release of the ext-decimal PHP extension with Rational number support.

(Version bumped from 2.0.0 which was previously published on PECL as alpha.)

Changes since v1.x

• Added Decimal\Number abstract number class.
• Added Decimal\Precision interface.
• Added Decimal\Decimal::reduce method.
• Renamed toSci to toScientific.
• Removed signum and parity methods.
• Better consistency around scientific notation when converting to string or JSON.
• Precision is now applied on operations only (input is preserved).
• Decimal constructors are now private — must use \Decimal\Number::valueOf.
• Performance improvements, reduced object allocations.
• PHP 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4 compatibility.
• Fixed isPositive/isNegative to return false for zero values.
• Fixed array/debug output for Decimal and Rational objects.
