* Hackage: <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/crackNum>
* GitHub: <http://github.com/LeventErkok/crackNum/>
* Latest Hackage released version: 3.7, 2024-02-15
### Version 3.8, Not yet released
* Add support for FP8 formats, as decribed in: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2209.05433.pdf
- E5M2: Which is essentially a synonym for f5+3
- E4M3: Similar to f4+4, except it does not have infinities and interprets NaN values differently
* Fix a bug in cracking of arbitrary-sized floats, that yielded wrong values for some NaN cases
### Version 3.7, 2024-02-15
* Support signaling/quiet indication for decoded NaN values.
* Add support for decoding over multiple lanes. See the -l option.
* Add support for verilog bit-vector notation, e.g., 128'hXXX. If
you use this notation, crackNum will automatically infer the
number of lanes to crack based on the width given; unless
explicitly specified.
### Version 3.6, 2024-01-24
* Be more clear when the provided input isn't a recognizable float,
instead of treating it as NaN implicitly. Thanks to Dmitry Blotsky for
pointing out the confusion.
### Version 3.5, 2024-01-11
* Resolve compilation issues with GHC 9.8 series
### Version 3.4, 2023-04-14
* Fix compilation in previous build
### Version 3.3, 2023-04-14
* Allow compilation with newer versions of SBV
### Version 3.2, 2021-06-30
* Add an explicit note when conversion is exact.
### Version 3.1, 2021-03-29
* Fix readme
### Version 3.0, 2021-03-29
* A complete rewrite, much simplified, and supporting
arbitrary precision floats. Some of the old features
and the library are dropped; so if you rely on the library
nature of CrackNum, do not upgrade. For other users who
merely use crackNum as an executable, the new version is
strongly recommended.
### Version 2.4, 2020-09-05
* Changes required to compile cleanly with GHC 8.10.2
### Version 2.3, 2018-11-17
* Remove dependency on the ieee754 and reinterpret-cast packages. The goal is
to remove any FFI dependencies. We now define and export the required
utilities directly in the CrackNum package.
### Version 2.2, 2018-09-01
* Instead of data-binary-ieee754, use reinterpret-cast package. According
to documents, the former is deprecated.
### Version 2.1, 2018-07-20
* Support for vi-editor bindings. See the file "crackNum.vim" in the
distribution or in the github repo You can put "so ~/.vim/crackNum.vim"
(use the correct path!) and have vi crack numbers directly from inside
your editor. Simply locate your cursor on a binary/hex stream of digits
and type ":CrackNum". See the "crackNum.vim" file for binding details.
### Version 2.0, 2018-03-17
* Import FloatingHex qualified to avoid GHC 8.4.1 compilation issue
### Version 1.9, 2017-01-22
* Minor fix to printing of +/-0
### Version 1.8, 2017-01-15
* Bump up FloatingHex dependency to >0.4, this enables
proper support for large doubles
### Version 1.7, 2017-01-14
* Fix a snafu in reading hexadecimal floats
### Version 1.6, 2017-01-14
* Add support for hexadecimal-floats. These now
work both in toIEEE option as input, and also
when printing the values out. (i.e., numbers
of the form 0x1.abp-3, etc.)
### Version 1.5, 2016-01-23
* Typo fixes; no functionality changes
### Version 1.4, 2016-01-17
* Fix NaN nomenclature: Screaming->Signaling
* Add an example to README.md
### Version 1.3, 2015-04-11
* Fix docs, github location
### Version 1.2, 2015-04-11
* Fix the constant qnan values for SP/DP
* Add conversions from float/double. Much easier to use.
* Better handling of nan values.
### Version 1.1, 2015-04-02
* Clean-up the API, examples etc.
### Version 1.0, 2015-04-01
* First implementation. Supports HP/SP/DP
and signed/unsigned numbers in 8/16/32/64 bits.
