This PR is targeted for the v3 release, since it contains a breaking change in how the
ByteSize
calculates sizes.Until now, one kilobyte is considered to be 1024 bytes, which is incorrect. The code
Console.WriteLine(ByteSize.FromMegabytes(1).Bytes);
prints1048576
instead of1000000
which was initially very surprising to me. I have had countless discussions over this surprising behavior with my teammates.This PR fixes the calculation and adds methods to aid in calculating binary instead of decimal powers.
