Changes in 0.8.0:

  • Daniel Mendler added minDenormal.

Changes in 0.7.9:

  • Rename nextup/nextdown to ieeesucc/ieeepred to avoid clashes with libm functions (fixes issue #15, reported by @clinty)

Changes in 0.7.8:

  • Alain O'Dea fixed broken illumos build.

  • Simplified endianness detection in C code.

Changes in 0.7.7:

  • Johan Kiviniemi added tests for minNormal, maxFinite, epsilon, maxNaNPayload.

Changes in 0.7.6:

  • Fix broken windows build.

Changes in 0.7.5:

  • Added more robust check for endianness (related to issue #5, reported by @juricast).

Changes in 0.7.4:

  • Add C implementation of copysign, copysignf

  • Remove libm dependency

  • Anders Kaseorg fixed documentation for epsilon.

Changes in 0.7.3:

Changes in 0.7.2:

  • Fix aliasing warnings in C code

Changes in 0.7.1:

  • Rename package from "ieee" to "ieee754"

Changes in 0.7:

  • Add IEEE type class with instances for Double, Float, CDouble, and CFloat

  • Add functions for getting/setting NaN payloads

  • Add succIEEE/predIEEE for advancing up and down the IEEE number line (ported from Tango's nextUp and nextDown)

  • Add bisectIEEE for midpoints of two numbers on the IEEE number line (ported from Tango's ieeeMean)

  • Add identicalIEEE for exact (bitwise) equality of IEEE numbers

  • Add copySign for setting the sign bit of an IEEE number

  • Add sameSignificandBits for seeing how many significand bits of two IEEE numbers agree, ported from Tango's feqrel

  • Add nan, infinity, maxFinite, minNormal constants for IEEE numbers

  • Add maxNum and minNum

  • Rename maxF and minF to maxNaN and minNaN

  • Switch to a simpler "~==" comparison for complex numbers

  • Make "~==" comparison use sameSignificandBits for IEEE types

  • Make "===" comparison use bitwise equality for IEEE types

  • Remove old "eqRel" comparisons.

  • Remove old epsilon' and delta constants

  • Remove (RealFloat a) => AEq (Complex a) instance in favor of explicit instances for Complex {Double,Float,CDouble,CFloat}

Changes in 0.6.1:

  • Remove AEq instance for CLDouble (thanks to Bjorn Buckwalter)
