Ok I understand, I just read the description for 3.2 in the changes-report and it states: This is a minor release: It combines bug fixes and new features. Changes to existing features were made in a backwards-compatible way such as to allow drop-in replacement of the v3.1[.1] JAR file. So I guess we will have to update this and mention it in the release-notes. btw. the Dfp.log10k also returns an int and not a Dfp as the other methods, is this intended?
