Fedora Project

  • Updated perl-Math-BigInt to 1.999808 in Rawhide:

    • In Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat, add methods bdfac() for double factorial

    • In Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat, add methods to_hex(), to_oct(), and to_bin() for hexadecimal, octal, and binary string output without prefix; even for Math::BigFloat there is still only support for integer output

    • Add tests for new methods in Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat

    • Add test for as_oct() corresponding to the old tests for as_hex() and as_bin()

    • In Math::BigInt::Lib, add method _dfac() for double factorial, and corresponding tests

    • In Math::BigInt::Lib, fix bug in overloaded "int"

    • In Math::BigInt::Lib, implement much faster versions of _from_hex(), _from_oct(), and _from_bin()

    • In Makefile.PL, improve the wording in the message displayed if some of the installed backend libraries are not a subclass of Math::BigInt::Lib (and hence will not provide newer methods)

    • Fix minor bugs in some of the author library test files (t/author-lib*.t)

    • Allow leading and trailing whitespace in the input to from_hex(), from_oct(), and from_bin(), and add tests to verify; this is a regression (CPAN RT#119805)

  • Updated perl-Math-BigInt-GMP to 1.6003 in Rawhide:

    • Fix syntax for required version of Math::BigInt::Lib

    • Better checking of POD coverage

    • Sync test files with Math-BigInt-1.999808
