Changes for version v0.011_001
- nextup():
- Could not replicate <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=116006>, so adding diagnostics to nextupdown/nextafter test suite;
- by copying the nextup code, but with additional diagnostics, inside the test wrapper, and forcing a fail for diagnostics, saw that when LSB underflows (goes to -1), the hexification is too many F's; perhaps on some systems, that was being misinterpreted when the two were being recombined.
- hopefully, my alpha _001 release to CPAN Testers will prove or disprove this theory
- Test suite for :floatingpoint now converts SNAN to expect /[SQ]NAN/, because it doesn't really matter that much whether Perl silences a signaling NAN
- this should fix <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=116005>
- Test suite for :raw754 now switches to '==' comparison for numeric arguments
- this should fix <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=116004>
- Test suite now requires 64bit (8byte) NV during install
- I am curious whether this will fix <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=116006>
