4.12. 1.0.0 - 2016-04-23¶
4.12.1. Changed¶
- “coerce” in
fast_real
now applies to any input, not just numeric; the default is now True instead of False. - Now all ASCII whitespace characters are stripped by fastnumbers
- Typechecking is now more forgiving
- fastnumbers now checks for errors when converting between numeric types
- Testing now includes Python 2.6.
4.12.2. Fixed¶
- Bug where very small numbers are not converted properly
- Unicode handling on Windows.
- Python2.6 on Windows.
4.12.3. Removed¶
- Removed
safe_*
functions (which were deprecated since version 0.3.0)
4.14. 0.7.3 - 2016-03-08¶
4.14.1. Changed¶
- Newline is now considered to be whitespace (for consistency with
the builtin
float
andint

key
function option to transform invalid input arguments.

- Improved documentation.
4.18. 0.6.2 - 2015-11-01¶
4.18.1. Fixed¶
- Bug that caused a SystemError exception to be raised on Python 3.5 if a very large int was passed to the “fast” functions.
4.19. 0.6.1 - 2015-10-29¶
4.19.1. Added¶
tox.ini
4.19.2. Changed¶
- Sped up unit testing.
4.19.3. Fixed¶
- Segfault on Python 3.5 that seemed to be related to a change in the PyObject_CallMethod C function.
4.20. 0.6.0 - 2015-10-27¶
4.20.1. Added¶
- The
nan
andinf
options tofast_real
andfast_float

- Improved documentation.
- Improved testing.
4.20.3. Fixed¶

fast_int
andfast_forceint
consistent with thebuilt-in
int function.

4.23.1. Added¶
- Added
num_only
option for checker functions.

4.24.1. Added¶
- Support for conversion of single Unicode characters that represent numbers and digits.
4.25. 0.3.0 - 2015-04-23¶
4.25.1. Changed¶
- Updated all unit testing to use the
hypothesis
module, which results in better test coverage. - Updated the
fast_*
functions to check if an overflow loss of precision has occurred, and if so fall back on the more accurate number conversion method.
4.25.2. Deprecated¶
- In response to the above change, the
safe_*
functions are now deprecated, and internally now use the same code as thefast_*
functions.

4.27.1. Changed¶
- The method to catch corner-cases like ‘.’, ‘+’, ‘e’, etc. has been reworked to be more general… case-by-case patches should no longer be needed.
4.27.2. Fixed¶
- Bug where ‘.’ was incorrectly identified as a valid
float/int and converted to 0. This bug only applied to the
fast_*
andis*
functions.
4.28. 0.1.3 - 2014-08-12¶
4.28.1. Fixed¶
- Bug where ‘e’ and ‘E’ were incorrectly identified as a valid
float/int and converted to 0. This bug only applied to the
fast_*
andis*
functions.
