Changelog

Note that ex_cldr_units version 3.17.2 and later are supported on Elixir 1.12 and later only.

Cldr_Units v3.17.2

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.17.2 released on August 16th, 2024. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Fix specs to suport dialyzer flags :error_handling, :unknown, :underspecs, :extra_return, :missing_return

Cldr_Units v3.17.1

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.17.1 released on July 30th, 2024. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Fix parsing prefixes that have no unit. Thanks to @maltoe for the report, the patience and the PR. Closes #47.

Cldr_Units v3.17.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.17.0 released on April 21st, 2024. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Fixes canonical unit name formation. More units can now be resolved to a base unit and therefore compared and converted with other units. The primary change is to add elimination of common factors in "per" units.

Enhancements

  • Add conversion support for Beaufort. This conversion is non linear and therefore cannot be expressed using the normal unit conversion method.

  • Cldr.Unit.Math.mult/2 and Cldr.Unit.Math.div/2 now support scalar values as the second argument. Its therefore now possible to say Cldr.Unit.Math.mult(Cldr.Unit.new!(:meter, 10), 2).

Cldr_Units v3.16.5

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.16.4 released on April 11th, 2024. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Fix spec for Cldr.Unit.display_name/2. Thanks to @ryotsu for the report. Closes #43.

Cldr_Units v3.16.4

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.16.4 released on November 2nd, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Fix compiler warnings for Elixir 1.16.

Cldr_Units v3.16.3

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.16.3 released on September 25th, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

Cldr_Units v3.16.1

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.16.1 released on May 22nd, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Assert a defined order of map keys in order to operate correctly on OTP 26.

  • Works around an OTP 26 bug when binary pattern matching in function heads.

  • Removes a compiler warning in Elixir 1.15 (which is actually a compile error in Elixir 1.15.0-rc.0)

Cldr_Units v3.16.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.16.0 released on April 28th, 2023. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Support Decimal version 2.1 and later which raise a different exception that older releases when calling Decimal.to_integer/1 when the value isn't convertible.

Enhancements

  • Updates to CLDR 43 data. The unit :beaufort is introduced but only in some locales.

  • Remove the dependency on ratio. All unit values are now decimals.

  • Support string-formatted decimals in Cldr.Unit.new/3. This allows the creation of units like Cldr.Unit.new(:foot, "3.39") which will also be produced now by the Inspect protocol. Apart from the inherent consistency this also improves accuracy will all tests for conversion and preference from CLDR test data now passing.

  • Add a Cldr.Unit.Range type to allow creating, enumerating and formatting unit ranges. Thanks to @ribanez7 for the collaboration. Closes #33.

  • Add support for multiplication and division of arbitrary units. Thanks to @maennchen for the report (and patience). Closes #32.

  • Adjust the inspect protocol implementation to emit executable code strings.

Cldr_Units v3.15.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.15.0 released on October 24th, 2022. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

  • Updates to CLDR 42. There are two changes to the unit data:
    • The length of a light-year has been adjusted to the IAU value (which uses a Julian year of 365.25 days).
    • The unit ID for metric-tonne has been deprecated in favor of tonne.

Cldr_Units v3.14.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.14.0 released on October 8th, 2022. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

  • Add Cldr.Unit.parse_unit_name/2 to parse a string as unit name. Also adds MyApp.Cldr.parse_unit_name/2 as well as the ! versions of these functions. Thanks to @Awlexus for the PR. Closes #31.

Cldr_Units v3.13.3

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.13.3 released on August 3rd, 2022. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.13.2 released on June 7th, 2022. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Fix MyApp.Cldr.Unit.localize/2 which was previously delegating incorrectly to Cldr.Unit.

Cldr_Units v3.13.1

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.13.1 released on June 7th, 2022. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Fix Cldr.Unit.Math.* to respect unit :usage of the input parameters

  • Fix Cldr.Math.localize/2 to respect unit :usage of the options parameter if provided

Cldr_Units v3.13.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.13.0 released on April 6th, 2022. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

Cldr_Units v3.12.2

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.12.2 released on February 27th, 2022. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Fixes conversions where the base units don't match (string match) but the units are of the same unit category and therefore are convertible. Thanks to @narrowtux for the report. Fixes #27.

Cldr_Units v3.12.1

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.12.1 released on February 23rd, 2022. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Remove compilation warning for Phoenix.HTML.Safe that was emitted since the :phoenix_html library is not a dependency. Thanks for @maennchen for the report. Fixes #26.

Cldr_Units v3.12.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.12.0 released on February 21st, 2022. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Fix Cldr.Unit.measurement_system_from_locale/2 to allow the second parameter to be either a backend or a measurement system key.

Enhancements

  • Add Cldr.Unit.from_map/1 to create a unit from a map. This can be used to consume the results of serializing a unit to JSON. The input parameter is designed to mirror the output of the custom Jason encoder.

  • Updates to ex_cldr version 2.26.0 and ex_cldr_numbers version 2.25.0 which use atoms for locale names and rbnf locale names. This is consistent with other elements of t:Cldr.LanguageTag where atoms are used when the cardinality of the data is fixed and relatively small and strings where the data is free format.

Cldr_Units v3.11.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.11.0 released on January 6th, 2022. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Fix canonical base unit calculation when the unit is a per per form like candela per lux.

Enhancements

  • Add unit filters for Cldr.Unit.parse/2. This means that the options :only and :except can comprise both unit categories and unit names as part of the filter.

Cldr_Units v3.10.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.10.0 released on December 27th, 2021. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Further refinement to Cldr.Unit.unit_category/1 to return a result in a broader range of cases.

Enhancements

  • Adds :only and :except options to Cldr.Unit.parse/2. These options provide a mechanism to disambiguate the unit when a unit string could refer to more than one unit. For example, "2w" could refer to either "2 weeks" or "2 watts". If neither option is provided then the result is the same as in prior releases: the unit with the lexically shorter and alphabetically earlier unit is returned.

Cldr_Units v3.9.2

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.9.2 released on December 26th, 2021. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Fix Cldr.Unit.unit_category/1. Thanks to @DaTrader for the report. Closes #24.

Cldr_Units v3.9.1

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.9.1 released on November 15th, 2021. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Support parsing units with multiple "per" clauses like "gallon per feet per second".

  • Fix canonical unit name for currency units. This also fixes unit math with currency units.

  • Add display_name/2 to backend modules.

Cldr_Units v3.9.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.9.0 released on November 14th, 2021. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Use import Config not deprecated use Mix.Config in config files. Only significant for developers of ex_cldr_units.

  • Make decimal a required dependency, not optional, since various pattern matches expect its presence.

Enhancements

  • Add support for currency-based units. This allows for calculations and formatting of units such as "$2 per gallon". For this example, the unit would be created with Cldr.Unit.new(2, "curr-usd-per-gallon"). The inverse is also possible, for example:
iex> MyApp.Cldr.Unit.to_string(Cldr.Unit.new!(2, "curr-usd-per-gallon"))
{:ok, "$2.00 per gallon"}

iex> MyApp.Cldr.Unit.to_string(Cldr.Unit.new!(2, "gallon-per-curr-usd"))
{:ok, "2 gallons per US dollar"}
  • Add support for binary factor prefixed units. These units are factors of 1024 and include "kibi", "mebi", "gibi", "tebi", "pebi", "exbi", "zebi" and "yobi". For example:
iex> MyApp.Cldr.Unit.to_string Cldr.Unit.new!(3, :gibibyte)
{:ok, "3 gibibytes"}
  • Add support for integer prefixes for units. This is useful for units like "liters per 100 kilometers" or "25 calories per 100 grams". For example:
iex> MyApp.Cldr.Unit.to_string Cldr.Unit.new!(25, "calorie_per_100-gram")
{:ok, "25 calories per 100 grams"}

Cldr_Units v3.8.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.8.0 released on October 27th, 2021. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

  • Updates to use CLDR 40 data. The release notes say:

In CLDR v40, the focus is on Grammatical features (gender and case) for units of measurement in additional locales. In many languages, forming grammatical phrases requires dealing with grammatical gender and case. Without that, it can sound as bad as "on top of 3 hours" instead of "in 3 hours":

  • Phase 1 (CLDR v39) of grammatical features included just 12 locales (da, de, es, fr, hi, it, nl, no, pl, pt, ru, sv).

  • Phase 2 (CLDR v40, this release) has expanded the number of locales by 29 (am, ar, bn, ca, cs, el, fi, gu, he, hr, hu, hy, is, kn, lt, lv, ml, mr, nb, pa, ro, si, sk, sl, sr, ta, te, uk, ur), but for a more restricted number of units.

Deprecations

  • Don't call deprecated Cldr.Config.get_locale/2, use Cldr.Locale.Loader.get_config/2 instead.

  • Don't call deprecated Cldr.Config.known_locale_names/1, call Cldr.Locale.Loader.known_locale_names/1 instead.

Cldr_Units v3.8.0-rc.2

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.8.0-rc.2 released on October 25th, 2021. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Deprecations

  • Don't call deprecated Cldr.Config.known_locale_names/1, call Cldr.Locale.Loader.known_locale_names/1 instead.

Cldr_Units v3.8.0-rc.1

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.8.0-rc.1 released on October 24th, 2021. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Deprecations

  • Don't call deprecated Cldr.Config.get_locale/2, use Cldr.Locale.Loader.get_config/2 instead.

Cldr_Units v3.8.0-rc.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.8.0-rc.0 released on October 3rd, 2021. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Cldr_Units v3.7.1

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.7.1 released on August 20th, 2021. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Fix doc errors. Thanks to @maennchen for the report. Doc errors in other ex_cldr packages are also updated.

Cldr_Units v3.7.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.7.0 released on July 1st, 2021. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

  • Add support for the Cldr.DisplayName protocol for t:Cldr.Unit structs.

  • Updated to ex_cldr version 2.23.0 which changes the names of some of the fields in the "-u-" extension to match the CLDR canonical name. In particular the field name measurement_system changes to ms. Also the value of ms for the UK System will be :imperial not :uksystem.

Cldr_Units v3.6.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.6.0 released on June 12th, 2021. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

  • Add Cldr.Unit.parse/2 to parse unit strings of the form 1kg into a t:Cldr.Unit struct.

Cldr_Units v3.5.3

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.5.3 released on May 20th, 2021. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Fixes formatting units when invoking MyApp.Cldr.Unit.to_string/2 (ie on the backend module) and no default backend is configured. Thanks again to @maennchen. Closes #22. Require at least ex_cldr version 2.22.1

Cldr_Units v3.5.2

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.5.2 released on April 12th, 2021. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Fix getting a unit pattern when the unit value is zero, one or two and there is no pattern for the default unit plural category. Thanks to @syfgkjasdkn for the report. Closes #21.

Cldr_Units v3.5.1

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.5.1 released on April 11th, 2021. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Use :other plural category to format units which have a value of 0, 1 or 2 when the natural unit pattern has no substitutions. This corrects the situation in locales such as he and ar where the unit pattern for plural category :one has no substitutions. Previously this would means the formatted string for a unit with a value of 1 and -1 would both output the same string. Thanks to @jarrodmoldrich for the report and to @voltone for his family's help with hebrew grammar.

Cldr_Units v3.5.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.5.0 released on April 8th, 2021. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Overview

In this release the Cldr.Unit.to_string/{1, 2, 3} function has been rewritten and the concrete implementation is now in Cldr.Unit.Format. The primary reasons for rewriting are:

  1. Improves performance by 20% over the old implementation.
  2. Supports grammatical case and grammatical gender. These allow for better sentence formation in a localised fashion. Only are few locales have the required data for now (for example, fr and de) however more locales will have data in upcoming CLDR releases.

Note that full testing of grammatical case and grammatical gender variations is not yet complete.

Soft Deprecation

  • The function Cldr.Unit.to_iolist/{1, 2, 3} is soft deprecated. It is still available and no deprecation warning is emitted. It will however be removed from the public API in a future release. This function is primarily used to support implementation of Cldr.Unit.to_string/3

  • As of this release, argument checking in Cldr.Unit.to_iolist/3 is less rigorous in order to avoid the relatively expensive argument normalization process happening twice (once in Cldr.Unit.to_string/3 and then again in Cldr.Unit.to_iolist/3).

Bug Fixes

  • The new string formatter correctly assembles units with an SI prefix (ie millimeter) in languages such as German where the noun is capitalized.

  • Fixes calculating the base unit when the unit is a complex compound unit.

  • Remove double parsing when calling Cldr.Unit.new/2 and the unit is not in Cldr.Unit.known_units/0

  • Ensure Cldr.Unit.unit_category/1 returns an error tuple if the category is unknown

Enhancements

  • Updated to require ex_cldr version 2.20 which includes CLDR 39 data.

  • Add Cldr.Unit.validate_grammatical_gender/2

  • Add Cldr.Unit.known_grammatical_cases/0

  • Add Cldr.Unit.known_grammatical_genders/0

  • Add Cldr.Unit.known_measurement_system_names/0

  • Add Cldr.Unit.invert/1 to invert a "per" unit. This allows for increased compatibility for conversions. For example, "liters per 100 kilometers" is a measure of consumption, as is "miles per gallon". However these two units are not convertible without inverting one of them first since one is "volume per length" and the other is "length per volume".

  • Add Cldr.Unit.conversion_for/2 to return a conversion list used when converting one unit to another.

  • Add Cldr.Unit.grammatical_gender/2 to return the grammatical gender for a given unit and locale

  • Add Cldr.Unit.conversion_for/2 to return a conversion list used when converting one unit to another.

  • Add support for grammatical cases for Cldr.Unit.to_string/2 and Cldr.Unit.to_iolist/2. Not all locales support more than the nominative case. The nominative case is the default. Any configured "Additional Units" in a backend module will need to be modified to put the localisations a map with the key :nominative. See the readme for more information on migrating additional units. On example is:

defmodule MyApp.Cldr do
  use Cldr.Unit.Additional

  use Cldr,
    locales: ["en", "fr", "de", "bs", "af", "af-NA", "se-SE"],
    default_locale: "en",
    providers: [Cldr.Number, Cldr.Unit, Cldr.List]

  unit_localization(:person, "en", :long,
    nominative: %{
      one: "{0} person",
      other: "{0} people"
    },
    display_name: "people"
  )
end
  • Support conversions where one of the base units is the inverted conversion of the other. This allows conversion between, for example, mile per gallon and liter per 100 kilometer. These are both compound units of length and volume but are inverse representations from each other.

Cldr_Units v3.5.0-rc.1

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.5.0-rc.1 released on March 21st, 2021. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

It also allows some efficiency in inserting formatted content into a Phoenix workflow since it handles iolists efficiently.

Bug Fixes

  • Fix resolving translatable unit names from strings

  • Fix converting translatable units that have a "per" conversion

Cldr_Units v3.0.1

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.0.1 released on May 15th, 2020. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Corrects unit creation when the unit itself is directly translatable (like :kilowatt_hour) but there is no explicit conversion, just an implicit calculated conversion. Thanks to @syfgkjasdkn.

Cldr_Units v3.0.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v3.0.0 released on May 4th, 2020. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Summary

  • New unit creation including rational numbers

  • Base unit calculation

  • New unit preferences

  • New conversion engine

Breaking changes

  • Cldr.Unit.new/2 is now Cldr.Unit/{2, 3} and it returns a standard {:ok, unit} tuple on success. Use Cldr.Unit.new!/{2,3} if you want to retain the previous behaviour.

  • Removed Cldr.Unit.unit_tree/0

  • Removed Cldr.Unit.units/1

  • Removed Cldr.Unit.compatible_units/2

  • Removed Cldr.Unit.best_match/1

  • Removed Cldr.Unit.jaro_match/1

  • Removed Cldr.Unit.unit_category_map/0 (replaced with Cldr.Unit.base_unit_category_map/0)

Deprecations

  • Deprecate Cldr.Unit.unit_categories/0 in favour of Cldr.Unit.known_unit_categories/0 to be consistent across CLDR.

Enhancements

  • Incorporate CLDR's unit conversion data into the new conversion engine

  • Unit values may now be rational numbers. Conversion data and the results of conversions are executed and retained as rationals. New units can be created with integer, float, Decimal or rational numbers. Conversion to floats is done only when the unit is output via Cldr.Unit.to_string/3 or explicitly through the new function Cldr.Unit.ratio_to_float/1

  • Add an option :usage to Cldr.Unit.new/{2,3}. This defines an expected usage for a given unit that will be applied during localization. The default is :default. See Cldr.Unit.unit_category_map/0 for what usage is defined for a unit category.

  • Add Cldr.Unit.known_measurement_sytems/0 to return the known measurement systems

  • Add Cldr.Unit.Conversion.preferred_units/3 that returns a list of preferred units for a given unit. This makes it straight forward to take a unit and convert it to the units preferred by the user for a given unit type, locale and use case.

  • Add Cldr.Unit.base_category_map/0 that maps base units to their unit categories. For example, map mile_per_hour to :speed or kilogram_square_meter_per_cubic_second_ampere to :voltage. Base units are derived from a unit name and are not normally the concern of the consumer of ex_cldr_units.

Cldr_Units v2.8.1

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v2.8.1 released on April 25th, 2020. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

  • Updates data management to be compatible with data from both both CLDR 36 (ex_cldr 2.13) and CLDR 37 (ex_cldr 2.14)

Cldr_Units v2.8.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v2.8.0 released on January 27th, 2020. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

  • Support the new Enum.sort/2 in Elixir 1.10. The function Cldr.Math.cmp/2 is deprecated in favour of Cldr.Math.compare/2 that has the same function signature and returns the same result that is compatible with Elixir 1.10.

  • Adds Cldr.Unit.compare/2 that is required for Enum.sort/2 to work as expected with units.

As an example:

iex> alias Cldr.Unit                                                                             Cldr.Unit

iex> unit_list = [Unit.new(:millimeter, 100), Unit.new(:centimeter, 100), Unit.new(:meter, 100), Unit.new(:kilometer, 100)]
[#Unit<:millimeter, 100>, #Unit<:centimeter, 100>, #Unit<:meter, 100>,
 #Unit<:kilometer, 100>]

iex> Enum.sort unit_list, Cldr.Unit
[#Unit<:millimeter, 100>, #Unit<:centimeter, 100>, #Unit<:meter, 100>,
 #Unit<:kilometer, 100>]

iex> Enum.sort unit_list, {:desc, Cldr.Unit}
[#Unit<:kilometer, 100>, #Unit<:meter, 100>, #Unit<:centimeter, 100>,
 #Unit<:millimeter, 100>]

iex> Enum.sort unit_list, {:asc, Cldr.Unit}
[#Unit<:millimeter, 100>, #Unit<:centimeter, 100>, #Unit<:meter, 100>,
 #Unit<:kilometer, 100>]

Cldr_Units v2.7.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v2.7.0 released on October 10th, 2019. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

  • Update ex_cldr to version 2.11.0 which encapsulates CLDR version 36.0.0 data.

  • Update minimum Elixir version to 1.6

  • Adds conversion for newton meter, dalton, solar luminosity, pound foot, bar, newton, electron volt, barrel, dunam, decade, mole, pound force, megapascal, pascal, kilopascal, solar radius, therm US, British thermal unit, earth mass.

Cldr_Units v2.6.1

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v2.6.1 released on August 31st, 2019. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Fix Cldr.Unit.to_string/3 to ensure that {:ok, string} is returned when formatting a list of units

Cldr_Units v2.6.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v2.6.0 released on August 25th, 2019. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

  • Add Cldr.Unit.localize/3 to support converting a given unit into units that are familiar to a given territory. For example, given a unit of #Unit<2, :meter> is would normally be expected to show this as [#Unit<:foot, 5>, #Unit<:inch, 11>]. The data to support these conversions is returned by Cldr.Unit.unit_preferences/0. An example:
  iex> height = Cldr.Unit.new(1.8, :meter)
  iex> Cldr.Unit.localize height, :person, territory: :US, style: :informal
  [#Unit<:foot, 5>, #Unit<:inch, 11>]
  • Note that conversion is dependent on context. The context above is :person reflecting that we are referring to the height of a person. For units of length category, the other contexts available are :rainfall, :snowfall, :vehicle, :visibility and :road. Using the above example with the context of :rainfall we see
  iex> Cldr.Unit.localize height, :rainfall, territory: :US
  [#Unit<:inch, 71>]

  • Adds a :per option to Cldr.Unit.to_string/3. This option leverages the per formatting style to allow compound units to be printed. For example, assume want to emit a string which represents "kilograms per second". There is no such unit defined in CLDR (or perhaps anywhere!). But if we define the unit unit = Cldr.Unit.new(:kilogram, 20) we can then execute Cldr.Unit.to_string(unit, per: :second). Each locale defines a specific way to format such a compound unit. Usually it will return something like 20 kilograms/second

  • Adds Cldr.Unit.unit_preferences/0 to map units into a territory preference alternative unit

  • Adds Cldr.Unit.measurement_systems/0 that identifies the unit system in use for a territory

  • Adds Cldr.Unit.measurement_system_for/1 that returns the measurement system in use for a given territory. The result will be one of :metric, :US or :UK.

Deprecation

  • Add Cldr.Unit.unit_category/1 and deprecate Cldr.Unit.unit_type/1 in order to be consistent with the nomenclature of CLDR

Cldr_Units v2.5.3

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v2.4.0 released on March 23rd, 2019. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

  • Supports Cldr.default_backend() as a default for backend parameters in Cldr.Unit

Cldr_Units v2.3.3

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v2.3.2 released on March 23rd, 2019. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Include priv directory in the hex package (that's where the conversion json exists)

Cldr_Units v2.3.2

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v2.3.2 released on March 20th, 2019. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Bug Fixes

  • Fix dialyzer warnings

Cldr_Units v2.3.1

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v2.3.1 released on March 15th, 2019. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

  • Makes generation of documentation for backend modules optional. This is implemented by the :generate_docs option to the backend configuration. The default is true. For example:
defmodule MyApp.Cldr do
  use Cldr,
    default_locale: "en-001",
    locales: ["en", "ja"],
    gettext: MyApp.Gettext,
    generate_docs: false
end

Cldr_Units v2.3.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v2.3.0 released on March 4th, 2019. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

  • The conversion tables are now stored as json and updates may be downloaded at any time with the mix task mix cldr.unit.download. This means that updates to the conversion table may be made without requiring a new release of Cldr.Unit.

Cldr_Units v2.2.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v2.2.0 released on February 24th, 2019. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

This release is primarily about improving the conversion of units without introducing precision errors that accumulate for floats. The strategy is to define the conversion value between individual unit pairs.

Currently the implementation uses a static map. In order to give users a better experience a future release will allow for both specifying mappings as a parameter to Cldr.Unit.convert/2 and as compile time configuration options including the option to download conversion tables from the internet.

  • Direct conversions are now supported. For some calculations, the process of diving and multiplying by conversion factors produces an unexpected result. Some direct conversions are now defined which produce a more expected result.

  • In most cases, return integer values from conversion and decomposition when the originating unit value is also an integer

Cldr_Units v2.1.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v2.1.0 released on December 8th, 2018. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Enhancements

  • Add Cldr.Unit.Conversion.convert!/2

  • Add Cldr.Unit.Math.cmp/2

  • Add Cldr.Unit.decompose/2

  • Add Cldr.Unit.zero/1

  • Add Cldr.Unit.zero?/1

The appropriate backend equivalents are also added.

Cldr_Units v2.0.0

This is the changelog for Cldr_units v2.0.0 released on November 24th, 2018. For older changelogs please consult the release tag on GitHub

Breaking changes

  • Cldr.Unit now requires a Cldr backend module to be configured

  • In order for the String.Chars protocol to be supported (which is used in string interpolation and by Kernel.to_string/1) a default backend must be configured. For example in config.exs:

config :ex_cldr_units,
  default_backend: MyApp.Cldr

Enhancements

  • Move to a backend module structure with ex_cldr version 2.0
