Migration Notes

With the integration of Scala.js, the library needed to be broken down into a few sub projects. This requires a slight change to how the console needs to be loaded. The correct command is now:

sbt squantsJVM/console

Vector has been renamed to SVector and now provides the factory methods for both Quantity and Double based vectors. User code that creates vectors should be modified to use this factory.
The improvements to Vectors also removed the various experiments for dimensional conversion. These improvements are significant but still contain experimental API features which are subject to change.

The support for generic numbers will exist only in test code for the project until we move on to 0.7.x development. Prior to that change, a 0.6.x release will be cut that will based on the old (Double) model. The goal will be to fully implement this feature during 0.7.x development.

The new dimension Information was originally called Storage.

Release 0.5.3

June 11, 2015

Thanks to Steve Barham for his contributions.

Migration Notes

The change from UnitMultipler/multiplier -> UnitConverter/conversionFactor will only affect user code where new Quantity or UnitOfMeasure types have been created. That code should only need to be updated to reflect the new names. Code that only uses built-in quantities and units should not be affected.

Modifications to the TimeIntegral and TimeDerivative hide the previously visible change and time fields, which are generally not useful in user code, but may affect Quantity implementations. In addition the TimeIntegral./() implementations have been replaced by a standard implementation within the trait.

The ElementaryConstant value has been moved to the electro package.

The renaming of Dimension, MassFlow, VolumeFlow, and CubicUsMiles may require user code to be updated.

The update to the Quantity model - to preserve the unit used when creating, and rename valueUnit->unit - may affect some users that were accessing the valueUnit directly. Which should generally not be used directly access by user code. This will affect user code used to create new Dimensions, Quantities and Units.

Release 0.4.2

Improvements to Market

• Add Price.in method for directly converting a price to a different currency
• Add Price.toString(unit) method to support formatting in a specific unit
• Add Money.toString overload to support formatting in a different currency
• Refactor Currencies to be objects rather than vals (no change in usage)
• Add Currency./ method for creating exchange rates
• Add MoneyNumeric
• Add Comparisons for cross-currency Money values (==#, !=#, <#, <=#, >#, >=#)

Other General Improvements

• Add Quantity.toString overload that supports standard number formatting (ie, "%3.2f")
• Add ≈ as another approx operator
• Add SquantifiedBigDecimal, remove SquantifiedNumeric
• Factor out common data and behavior to new QuantityCompanion trait - implemented for all data types except Money which currently requires special handling
• Implement String => Quantity parsing conversions returning Try[Quantity] for all existing types (see Migration Notes below)
• Additional Units:
  • ElectricCharge: MilliampereHours, MilliampereSeconds
• Add unapply to UnitOfMeasure trait and deprecate existing extractors in its favor
• Json Serialization - experimental, test code only
• Generic Quantity Value - experimental, test code only
• Add support for Scala cross-version builds (2.10 and 2.11) with 2.11.1 as the default

Bug fixes

• Fixed SquareInches.symbol

Migration Note

Quantity String Parsing

String parsers no longer return Either[String, Q] but will return a Try[Q] instead (where Q is the specific quantity type). For example, Mass("10 kg") will return a Try[Mass].

On failure the Try.failed will contain a QuantityStringParseException which includes the original string to be parsed. This could be used to recover using an alternative parser.

Quantity Value Model Unification

Quantity types implemented as case classes which stored the ratio components of their value (i.e. Velocity(length, time)) have been refactored to have a single underlying value.

This reduction of all types to a single underlying value has resulted in some loss of precision - reflected in the use of more "approximately equal to" tests. However, this change is a precursor to future work that will support far better precision.

Temperature and Money remain as exceptions to the prevailing model.

Release 0.3.3

Features in this release include:

• Add the approx method and corresponding =~ and ~= operators
• Refactor equals implementation to support proper comparisons with null values
• Add conversions for all Quantity types to console initialCommands.
• Improvements to Money
• UnitOfMeasure simplification
• Vectors (experimental)
• Additional Units
  • Length: Nanometers
  • Volume: Nanolitres, Microlitres, Centilitres, Decilitres, Hectolitres
  • Energy: Picojoules, Nanojoules, Microjoules, Millijoules, Kilojoules, Megajoules, Gigajoules, Terajoules
  • Money: MYR
• Arbitrary Numeric type support for Quantity factory methods - All Quantity factory methods will accept arbitrary numeric types for initial values. In the current iteration these values will be converted to a Double within the Quantity object. Nevertheless, this is an important first step to supporting arbitrary numeric types for the underlying value as well.

Migration Note - The unit Milliliters has been renamed to Millilitres, which may require a change to user code. Implicit conversions are available for both spellings.
