• CTAN update: didec

    From CTAN Announcements@petra@ctan.org to CTAN Announcements on Tue Feb 24 13:10:23 2026

    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)
