Message-ID: <18dbds0ajn3bb.esxq49qadpwx.dlg@40tude.net> (raw)
The library provides an implementation of dimensioned values for Ada. Unit
checks are made at run-time, if not optimized out by the compiler. SI and
irregular measurement units are supported. Shifted units like degrees
Celsius are supported too. Conversions from and back to strings are
provided for all various irregular units. An extensive set of GTK widgets
for dealing with dimensioned values is included, though use of GTK is not
mandatory for the rest of the library.

The focus of this release is documentation and when necessary adjusting
factors of irregular units. When the same unit has multiple definitions,
the chosen one is specified. For all irregular unit definition a reference
to the source is provided in the documentation.
Also:
- Added irregular units dram, gill, league;
- Added SI derived unit katal (kat);
- Removed irregular unit candle;
- Bq was moved to derived SI units;
- Unicode ounce sign is now supported;
- Bug fix in Get_Value_As.
