Changes for version v1.6.1 - 2026-07-05

  • Bug fixes
    • Fixed Module::Generic::Number::Format locale handling so set_locale() returns and stores the locale actually accepted by the system, rather than the originally requested value.
    • Fixed locale probing in Module::Generic::Number::Format so temporary POSIX locale changes are restored after probing, preventing LC_ALL / LC_NUMERIC side effects from leaking into later formatting operations.
    • Fixed number formatting tests for platforms where POSIX::setlocale() may return a composite LC_ALL value, such as "C/fr_FR.UTF-8/C/C/C/C", instead of a single locale name.
    • Fixed fallback cbrt tests on Perl versions before v5.22 by avoiding locale-sensitive stringification during overloaded exponentiation.
  • Tests
    • Improved t/02.num.t coverage for byte formatting, locale propagation, and arithmetic overload behaviour on older Perl versions and non-glibc platforms.
