Release v0.3.0

Release v0.3.0

We are proudly announcing the release of version oh point three point oh (v0.3.0) of num2words!

This version is making the path for a more structured way of constructing any words using the builder pattern. This is likely going to be the path we will take for the first stable release. There are still a few tweaks to make but the bulk of the work is here!

We are also looking for volunteers to contribute and add new supported languages. Any help is greatly appreciated. Please contact Ballasi or open a discussion in case you are interested.

Support for more languages is to come. French is next on the list.

Changelog

New features

• Usage of specific functions rather than .output(). This makes the whole code easier to read and build.

Example:

use num2words::{Num2Words, Output};
assert_eq!(
    Num2Words::new(42).output(Output::Ordinal).to_words(),
    Ok(String::from("forty-second"))
);

becomes

use num2words::Num2Words;
assert_eq!(
    Num2Words::new(42).ordinal().to_words(),
    Ok(String::from("forty-second"))
);

• Add Display trait to Num2Err as this may be useful for any usages (e.g., the binary provided with the library)
• Update the binary to the new code structure
• Enable the binary to output to stderr when providing an error
