Changes for version 1.79 - 2026-09-17
- document that format_bytes inherits the object's format_number settings, including decimal_fill for trailing zeroes (RT#125400)
- document that format_price follows the locale's monetary sign rules and does not consult NEG_FORMAT (RT#124862)
- documentation no longer claims that assigning to the exported :vars variables affects the functional interface; that has been broken since v1.60 in 2008 (RT#73717)
- format_number keeps the sign on tiny negative numbers that fall back to scientific notation (RT#77643, thanks gsullivan)
- format_picture no longer warns about an uninitialized value when neg_format has no prefix, like "x" (RT#148306)
