Thomas F. Sturm submitted an update to the

didec

package.

Version: 1.1.0 2026-02-23
License: lppl1.3

Summary description: Fixed-point arithmetic with two decimal places

Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

### Changed

- `CHANGES.md` renamed to `CHANGELOG.md` following
https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/

- The initial values of `currency` and `didec/currency-negative`
are now set to `euro`. Previously, no currency symbol was used
(in contrast to the tutorial and examples).

- The styles `german`, `english`, `french`, and `float`, which
set `decimal-separator` and `grouping-separator`, no longer
modify currency settings.
Previously, they removed currency settings, which was not obvious.

- Some stylistic revisions in the documentation.


### Fixed
- Documentation produced with `minted2` instead of `minted`
(currently not compatible to Python>=3.14)

- Obsolete (and now faulty) package loading of `l3benchmark`
removed from the documentation (it is part of l3kernel
since June 2025)

License: lppl1.3

Summary description: Fixed-point arithmetic with two decimal places

Announcement text: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

### Added
- Option `rounding` with two choices each providing several synonyms (issue #2):
- `half-away-from-zero`, `commercial`, `DIN-1333`
- `half-to-even`, `mathematical`, `IEEE-754`
Rounding is applied only to floating-point expressions.

### Changed
- Documentation partially rearranged; new section 'Option settings'
- The default rounding mode for floating-point expressions is now `half-away-from-zero`.
To restore the previous default, use `\didecsetup{rounding=half-to-even}`.
