We hope that our webmaster will be able to solve the problem
as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Thomas F. Sturm submitted an update to the
didec
package.
Version: 1.1.0 2026-02-23
License: lppl1.3
Summary description: Fixed-point arithmetic with two decimal places
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
### Changed
- `CHANGES.md` renamed to `CHANGELOG.md` following
https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/
- The initial values of `currency` and `didec/currency-negative`
are now set to `euro`. Previously, no currency symbol was used
(in contrast to the tutorial and examples).
- The styles `german`, `english`, `french`, and `float`, which
set `decimal-separator` and `grouping-separator`, no longer
modify currency settings.
Previously, they removed currency settings, which was not obvious.
- Some stylistic revisions in the documentation.
### Fixed
- Documentation produced with `minted2` instead of `minted`
(currently not compatible to Python>=3.14)
- Obsolete (and now faulty) package loading of `l3benchmark`
removed from the documentation (it is part of l3kernel
since June 2025)
