Upgrading to Money 6.0

Version 6.0.0

  • The Money#dollars and Money#amount methods now return instances of BigDecimal rather than Float. We should avoid representing monetary values with floating point types so to avoid a whole class of errors relating to lack of precision. There are two migration options for this change:
    • The first is to test your application and where applicable update the application to accept a BigDecimal return value. This is the recommended path.
    • The second is to migrate from the #amount and #dollars methods to use the #to_f method instead. This option should only be used where Float is the desired type and nothing else will do for your application's requirements.
