v3.0.0

UnitTypes v3.0.0

Diff since v2.0.3

Version 3.0 brings the major addition of a Catchall type for operations that result in undefined units; explicit types are still preferred and will be chosen when available.

• General exponentiation now works
• UnitType ranges can be defined over any coherent unit
• Convenience (1:5)u"m" added
• Broadcasting implemented: 3.*(1:5)u"m"
• relateMeasures now accepts compound left hand expressions, intermediate types therein are defined
• Fixed non-const globals
• Test coverage on all new code
• Extended benchmark comparison suite
• Documentation updated

Breaking changes:

• @makeMeasure argument order changed to be more natural: @makeMeasure 1e-3 Meter = 1 MilliMeter "mm"

Closed issues:

• exponent handling (#20)
• Density * Length = undefined? (#21)
• add getUnitAbbreviation(1u"mm") (#25)
• Catchall UnitType (#26)
• More complex unit handling (#27)

• broadens overloads on * and / so that they work on child and base types, issue #24, also fixes #23

Closed issues:

• u_str for Inch (#23)

• Function overloads on UnitTypes are now specifically typed, as the subtyping approach of v1.0.0 lead to #19. Performance is now on-par with Unitful and very close to Number.
• Defined types are now documented in the UnitTypes.allUnitTypes dictionary, with keys being the UnitTypes. UnitTypes.allUnitTypes[Meter]
• Affine definitions can now be made by explicit conversion functions in @makeMeasure: @makeMeasure Meter = Inch "in" 0.0254, @makeMeasure Kelvin = Fahrenheit "F" f->(f+459.67)*5/9 k->k*9/5-459.67 This is a breaking change.
• Broadcasting and _colon overloads removed due to v1+'s opaque interface specification.

Closed issues:

• Pascal = N/m2! (#18)
