Good documentation is so under-addressed by most developers that we r… …eally have to roll out the bright lights when someone comes along and takes up the time consuming mantle of documenting an API in complete detail. This is exactly what happened with Radix this last month. A coder going by the unassuming handle, **douglascodes**, announced his desire to document Radix and proceeded to do so until YARD pronounced 100% completeness. Hey, we think that is worth of a whole version bump and a big shout-out for Douglas!
Radix now provides an actual Numeric subclass, Radix::Number, that st… …ores the base and can be used like any other Numeric object. This makes it very easy to convert and manipulate numbers in any base. The implementation is still a bit nascent. For the moment, it only supports the most basic math operators and only handles integer values, but furture releases will continue to expand on it's capabilites.
