Enhancements

  • Makes generation of documentation for backend modules optional. This is implemented by the :generate_docs option to the backend configuration. The default is true. For example:
defmodule MyApp.Cldr do
  use Cldr,
    default_locale: "en-001",
    locales: ["en", "ja"],
    gettext: MyApp.Gettext,
    generate_docs: false
end

Changelog for Cldr_Units v2.3.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v2.3.0 released on March 4th, 2019. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

  • The conversion tables are now stored as json and updates may be downloaded at any time with the mix task mix cldr.unit.download. This means that updates to the conversion table may be made without requiring a new release of Cldr.Unit.

Changelog for Cldr_Units v2.2.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v2.2.0 released on February 24th, 2019. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

This release is primarily about improving the conversion of units without introducing precision errors that accumulate for floats. The strategy is to define the conversion value between individual unit pairs.

Currently the implementation uses a static map. In order to give users a better experience a future release will allow for both specifying mappings as a parameter to Cldr.Unit.convert/2 and as compile time configuration options including the option to download conversion tables from the internet.

  • Direct conversions are now supported. For some calculations, the process of diving and multiplying by conversion factors produces an unexpected result. Some direct conversions are now defined which produce a more expected result.

  • In most cases, return integer values from conversion and decomposition when the originating unit value is also an integer

Changelog for Cldr_Units v2.1.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v2.1.0 released on December 8th, 2018. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

The appropriate backend equivalents are also added.

Changelog for Cldr_Units v2.0.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v2.0.0 released on November 24th, 2018. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Breaking changes

  • Cldr.Unit now requires a Cldr backend module to be configured

  • In order for the String.Chars protocol to be supported (which is used in string interpolation and by Kernel.to_string/1) a default backend must be configured. For example in config.exs:

config :ex_cldr_units,
  default_backend: MyApp.Cldr

Enhancements

  • Move to a backend module structure with ex_cldr version 2.0
