The new default is called the "banker's round" for reasons. Money related people should prefer this. And to say frankly, using Floats for money-related calculation is the source of weirdness. > While consistency is a good thing, I'm not sure why we can't make the default the old behavior, and change sprintf to explicitly call the new behavior. sprintf has no option field to specify tie-breaking mode. You can't but change round instead. ---------------------------------------- Bug #12958: Breaking change in how `#round` works https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12958#change-61799 * Author: Rafael Fran��a * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Kenta Murata * ruby -v: * Backport: 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- We noticed in the Rails test suite that there is a breaking change in how `#round` works between 2.3 and 2.4 https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/27091 Is that desirable? I think it is may cause a lot of problem if the behavior of `#round` without any arguments changes between a minor version. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
