 Change Log for Ruby-units
 =========================
-2006-08-22  0.1.0   * Initial Release
+2007-01-24  1.0.2   * Minor changes in the way powers are calculated to support Uncertain 
+                      numbers better.
+                    * Fixed parsing bug with Uncertain Numbers
+                    * added resolution / typography units (pixels, points, pica)
+                      Note that 'pt' means 'pints' and not 'points'
+                    * added some pressure units ('inHg' & 'inH2O')
+                    * changed default abbreviation of 'knots' to 'kt'
+                    * Changed directory layout
+                    * fixed a minor bug with Time.to_date so comparisons work properly
 
-2006-08-22  0.1.1   * Added new format option "1 mm".to_unit("in") now
-                      converts the result to the indicated units
-                    * Fixed some naming issues so that the gem name matches
-                      the require name.
-                    * Added CHANGELOG
-                    * Improved test coverage (100% code coverage via RCov)
-                    * fixed a bug that prevented units with a prefix in the
-                      denominator from converting properly
-                    * can use .unit method on a string to create a new unit
-                      object
-                    * 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
-                    * Added instructions on how to add custom units
+2007-01-17  1.0.1   * Force units are now defined correctly.
+
+2007-01-12  1.0.0   * Improved handling of complex numbers.  Now you can specify
+                      '1+1i mm'.unit to get a complex unit.
+                    * Taking the root of a negative unit will give you a complex unit
+                    * fixed unary minus to work again
+                    * Math.hypot now takes units.  Both parameters must be the compatible 
+                      units or it will assert.  Units will be converted to a common base 
+                      before use.
+                    * Can now specify units in rational numbers, i.e., '1/4 cup'.unit  
+                    * Seems like a good time to move to 1.0 status
                     
-2006-08-28  0.2.0   * Added 'ruby_unit.rb' file so that requires will still
-                      work if the wrong name is used
-                    * Added 'to' as an alias to '>>' so conversions can be
-                      done as '1 m'.unit.to('1 cm')
-                    * Added ability to convert temperatures to absolute values
-                      using the following syntax:
-                        '37 degC'.unit.to('tempF')  #=> '98.6 degF'.unit
-                    * Tweaked abbreviations a bit.  'ton' is now 'tn' instead
-                      of 't'.  It was causing parse collisions with 'atm'.
-                    * fixed a bug in term elimination routine
-                    * fixed a bug in parsing of powers, and added support for
-                      'm**2' format
-                    * Added support for taking roots of units.  Just
-                      exponentiate with a fraction (0.5, 1.0/3, 0.25)
-                    * renamed 'quantity' to 'scalar'
-                    * any type of Numeric can be used to initialize a Unit,
-                      although this can't really be done with a string
-                    * Units can not be forced to a float using to_f unless
-                      they are unitless.  This prevents some math functions
-                      from forcing the conversion.  To get the scalar, just
-                      use 'unit.scalar'
-                    * 'inspect' returns string representation
-                    * better edge-case detection with math functions.  
-                      "0 mm".unit**-1 now throws a ZeroDivisionError exception
-                    * Ranges can make a series of units, so long as the end 
-                      points have integer scalars.
-                    * Fixed a parsing bug with feet/pounds and scientific
-                      numbers
-2006-09-17          * can now use the '%' format specifier like 
-                      '%0.2f' % '1 mm'.unit #=> '1.00 mm'
-                    * works nicely with time now.
-                      '1 week'.unit + Time.now => 1.159e+09 s
-                      Time.at('1.159e+09 s'.unit) 
-                        => Sat Sep 23 04:26:40 EDT 2006
-                      "1.159e9 s".unit.time 
-                        => Sat Sep 23 04:26:40 EDT 2006
-                    * Time.now.unit => 1.159e9 s
-                    * works well with 'Uncertain' numerics
-                      (www.rubyforge.org/projects/uncertain)
-                    * Improved parsing
+2006-12-15  0.3.9   * forgot to increment the version in the gem file..ooops.
+
+2006-12-15  0.3.8   * Any object that supports a 'to_unit' method will now be 
+                      automatically coerced to a unit during math operations.
+                      
+2006-12-14  0.3.7   * improved handling of percents and added a 'wt%' unit
+                      equivalent to 1 g/dl.
+                    * Improved handling for units with non-alphanumeric names
+                      (like ' for feet, # for pound)
+                    * Now you can enter durations as "HH:MM:SS, usec" or
+                      "HH:MM:SS:usec"
+
+2006-12-05  0.3.6   * Fixed bug where (unit/unit).ceil would fail
+
+2006-11-20  0.3.5   * Minor bug fixes
+                    * to_int now coerces the result to an actual Integer,
+                      but only works properly for unitless Units.
+
+2006-10-27  0.3.4   * Fixed a few more parsing bugs so that it will properly        
+                      complain about malformed units.
+                    * Fixed a bug that prevents proper use of percents

+                    * Time math will now return a DateTime if it goes out of
+                      range.
+
+2006-10-03  0.3.3   * Apparently I can't do math late at night.  
+                      Fixed a bug that would cause problems when adding
+                      or subtracting units to a unit with a zero scalar. 
+                    * Date and DateTime objects can be converted to 'units'

+                    * Throws an exception if the unit is not recognized
+                    * units can now identify what 'kind' they are

+                      Unit(1,"mm","s")
+
+2006-09-22  0.2.3   * added support for date/time parsing with the Chronic gem
+                      parsing will use Chronic if it is loaded

+                        [1,'mm','s'].unit === "1 mm/s".unit
+                        2.5.unit === "2.5".unit
+                    * Added instructions on how to add custom units
                       
-2006-11-20  0.3.5   * Minor bug fixes
-                    * to_int now coerces the result to an actual Integer,
-                      but only works properly for unitless Units.
+2006-08-22  0.1.0   * Initial Release
+
+
+

-2006-12-05  0.3.6   * Fixed bug where (unit/unit).ceil would fail
 
-2006-12-14  0.3.7   * improved handling of percents and added a 'wt%' unit
-                      equivalent to 1 g/dl.
-                    * Improved handling for units with non-alphanumeric names
-                      (like ' for feet, # for pound)
-                    * Now you can enter durations as "HH:MM:SS, usec" or
-                      "HH:MM:SS:usec"
-                      
-2006-12-15  0.3.8   * Any object that supports a 'to_unit' method will now be 
-                      automatically coerced to a unit during math operations.
-                      
-2006-12-15  0.3.9   * forgot to increment the version in the gem file..ooops.
 
-2007-01-12  1.0.0   * Improved handling of complex numbers.  Now you can specify
-                      '1+1i mm'.unit to get a complex unit.
-                    * Taking the root of a negative unit will give you a complex unit
-                    * fixed unary minus to work again
-                    * Math.hypot now takes units.  Both parameters must be the compatible 
-                      units or it will assert.  Units will be converted to a common base 
-                      before use.
-                    * Can now specify units in rational numbers, i.e., '1/4 cup'.unit  
-                    * Seems like a good time to move to 1.0 status
-                    
-2007-01-17  1.0.1   * Force units are now defined correctly.
