5
- * Fixed some naming issues so that the gem name matches the require name.

  * Improved test coverage (100% code coverage via RCov)
8
- * fixed a bug that prevented units with a prefix in the denominator from converting properly
9
- * can use .unit method on a string to create a new unit object
10
- * can now coerce or define units from arrays, strings, numerics.

  "1 mm".unit + [1, 'mm'] === "2 mm".unit

  [1,'mm','s'].unit === "1 mm/s".unit

  2.5.unit === "2.5".unit

22
+ 2006-08-28 0.2.0 * Added 'ruby_unit.rb' file so that requires will still
23
+ work if the wrong name is used
24
+ * Added 'to' as an alias to '>>' so conversions can be
25
+ done as '1 m'.unit.to('1 cm')
26
+ * Added ability to convert temperatures to absolute values
27
+ using the following syntax:
28
+ '37 degC'.unit.to('tempF') #=> '98.6 degF'.unit
29
+ * Tweaked abbreviations a bit. 'ton' is now 'tn' instead
30
+ of 't'. It was causing parse collisions with 'atm'.
31
+ * fixed a bug in term elimination routine
32
+ * fixed a bug in parsing of powers, and added support for
33
+ 'm**2' format
34
+ * Added support for taking roots of units. Just
35
+ exponentiate with a fraction (0.5, 1.0/3, 0.25)
36
+ * renamed 'quantity' to 'scalar'
37
+ * any type of Numeric can be used to initialize a Unit,
38
+ although this can't really be done with a string
39
+ * Units can not be forced to a float using to_f unless
40
+ they are unitless. This prevents some math functions
41
+ from forcing the conversion. To get the scalar, just
42
+ use 'unit.scalar'
43
+ * 'inspect' returns string representation
44
+ * better edge-case detection with math functions.
45
+ "0 mm".unit**-1 now throws a ZeroDivisionError exception
46
+ * Ranges can make a series of units, so long as the end
47
+ points have integer scalars.
48
+ * Fixed a parsing bug with feet/pounds and scientific
49
+ numbers
50
+ 2006-09-17 * can now use the '%' format specifier like
51
+ '%0.2f' % '1 mm'.unit #=> '1.00 mm'
52
+ * works nicely with time now.
53
+ '1 week'.unit + Time.now => 1.159e+09 s
54
+ Time.at('1.159e+09 s'.unit)
55
+ => Sat Sep 23 04:26:40 EDT 2006
56
+ "1.159e9 s".unit.time
57
+ => Sat Sep 23 04:26:40 EDT 2006
58
+ * Time.now.unit => 1.159e9 s
59
+ * works well with 'Uncertain' numerics
60
+ * Improved parsing
