@barucden You should proceed with merging your PRs!

[barucden]

I will do so over the weekend

[ViralBShah]

Please feel free to tag a new version of the package whenever convenient. Great to see the improvements!

[barucden]

There are still issues that I would like to tackle before releasing a new version. I don't intend to implement any new features, but I would like to make the currently provided operations sound and stable, supported by extensive test-suite and documentation. To this end, I plan to

• replace the normalize function and the round function (xref Rounded option in the normalize function #36, Unclear option normal in round function #39)
• add test cases from https://speleotrove.com/decimal/dectest.html (I already did that for Base.cmp: https://github.com/JuliaMath/Decimals.jl/blob/6eee6cdbcdd958e3a35fab2acfefcfb617ceedef/test/test_compare.jl)
• make precision and min/max exponent controllable (this is needed for the test cases; I already have basic functionality implemented)
• create a documentation page

This will take me one or two weeks more, but I will gain much more confidence in the package and its correctness (xref #56). If it's okay with you, I would postpone releasing a new version until then.

Of course! I just meant to say that please feel free to tag a release whenever convenient.
