| | 20 | === Changed Units === |
| | 21 | ==== Exact Constants ==== |
| | 22 | The following units are modified to turn constants which were stated of limited precision to exact. This is indicated by removing the decimal point from the number. If a number has a decimal point, it is considered having this number of significant digits, hence limited precision. If there is no decimal point (and magnitude adjusted in the exponent) it is considered exact. |

| | 33 | == Version 1.8.2 == |
| | 34 | The major change of this release is the establishment of a class of "arbitrary units" which are no longer simply dimensionless. This is to protect the false assumption that one could convert measurement values expressed in some arbitrary unit into one in another arbitrary or dimensionless units. |
| | 35 | |
| | 36 | Also, that release modified the homeopathic units. |
