[Arg-parser-bug] Rational 1.8 released

[Antonio Diaz Diaz]

I am pleased to announce the release of Rational 1.8.

Rational is a C++ class implementing rational numbers of limited size with 
overflow detection. Both numerator and denominator are of type 'int'.

Rational allows you to perform exact calculations and verify at any time if 
overflow has occurred. Rational does not throw exceptions.

Rational provides a 'parse' function that can be used to obtain values 
exactly representable by small fractions like '0.1', '1/3', or '355/113' 
from the command line.

Rational is used in combination with Arg_parser in GNU ddrescue and GNU Ocrad.

The homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/arg-parser/rational.html

This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by appending 
'.sig' to the URL. If the 'gpg --verify' command fails because you don't 
have the required public key, then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 8FE99503132D7742

Key fingerprint = 1D41 C14B 272A 2219 A739  FA4F 8FE9 9503 132D 7742


Changes in version 1.8:

  * The function 'to_decimal' now accepts the argument 'rounding' to round 
up the last digit produced if the next one would be >= 5.


Please send bug reports and suggestions to arg-parser-bug@nongnu.org

Antonio Diaz, Rational author and maintainer.
