Correct. It is true that we fixed one inconsistency to introduce another. This might perhaps be a problem. Not sure how big the problem would be though. There is no BigDecimal-versus-sprintf problem because you cannot pass a BigDecimal to sprintf. So I believe the disturbance (if any) would be faint. But yes, I admit I might be wrong here. ---------------------------------------- Bug #12958: Breaking change in how `#round` works https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12958#change-61803 * 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:
