Release 1.0-beta2

API changes

Arguments changed to root(x, n, mathContext)

The method root(n, x, mathContext) has changed the order of arguments to root(x, n, mathContext). This is more consistent with the usual signature used for root() in other languages and libraries.

Unfortunately the change does not break existing code that uses the older version of root(), because both arguments are of the same type.

Please verify all existing calls in your code to root() and change the arguments to be correct.

Added missing functions to Context

The Context class was inconsistent with many missing functions:

• log2(BigDecimal)
• log10(BigDecimal)
• pow(BigDecimal, BigDecimal)
• pow(BigDecimal, int)
• sinh(BigDecimal)
• cosh(BigDecimal)
• tanh(BigDecimal)
• asinh(BigDecimal)
• acosh(BigDecimal)
• atanh(BigDecimal)
• acoth(BigDecimal)
• pi()
• e()
• bernoulli(n)

Bugfixes

Fix root(x, n) for n < 1.0

The calculated root for n < 1.0 was incorrect.
