0.49 2018-02-03 pjacklam
* Improve specification of required modules in Makefile.PL.
* Fix typo in CHANGES file.
0.48 2018-01-31 pjacklam
* According to the CPAN testers reports, Perl v5.10 or later is required, so
make Perl v5.10 the minimum required version.
* Verify that CPAN RT #102006 is fixed.
0.47 2016-12-13 pjacklam
* Add more logic to Makefile.PL regarding INSTALLDIRS (CPAN RT #119199
and #119225).
0.46 2016-12-11 pjacklam
* Fix Makefile.PL so that this module installs over the core version.
0.45 2016-12-03 pjacklam
* Use ExtUtils::MakeMaker rather than Module::Install in Makefile.PL
* Remove INSTALL file. The information is in the README file.
* Improve documentation in BUGS and SUPPORT sections in POD in bignum.pm,
bigint.pm, and bigrat.pm.
* Remove unused variables in Math/BigInt/Trace.pm and Math/BigFloat/Trace.pm
* Update README and BUGS files.
* Remove code that was accidentally left in t/infnan.inc after debugging.
* Remove author information in LICENSE file.
* Trim whitespace.
* CHANGES file now has the same formatting as other Math::BigInt-related
distributions.
0.44 2016-11-15 pjacklam
* Update bundled Module::Install from version 1.16 to version 1.17.
* Replace function calls with method calls.
* Include patch for CPAN RT #116506.
0.43 2016-07-09 pjacklam
* Replace function calls with method calls.
0.42 2016-01-05 pjacklam
* "use strict" and "use warnings" everywhere.
* Reformat some if the code according to the "perlstyle" man page. It makes
the code easier for read, for me at least.
* Add descriptions to tests.
* Reorder CHANGES to chronological order.
* Use bpi() as a class method, not a function.
* Replace "use vars ..." with "our ...".
* More descriptive variable names.
* Start POD sections with =pod
* Allow "nan", "inf", and "infinity", and ingore case, since core Perl allows
these. We want to be compatible. Add tests to "infnan.inc".
0.41 2015-09-25 pjacklam
* hex() and oct() now have the same semantics as the corresponding core
functions. E.g., hex("cat") returns 202 and a warning "Illegal hexadecimal
digit 't' ignored at ..." rather than NaN.

"inf" or "NaN" routine

* fix #27059: t/option_l.t fails
* on Perl 5.9.4 or later: "overload" hex() and oct() with lexical routines
that also handle arbitrary big integers

routines that work with big integers
* make bignum.pm and bigrat.pm re-use code from bigint.pm
* add exportable bpi() and bexp() methods
