Hi people!
After some months, Decimal is now in the trunk again.
It's fully updated to the latest Cowlishaw specification, and
complying with the latest test cases (from a few days ago, which even
take in consideration some feedback from ours).
I want to thank so much to Mark Dickinson, who made *a lot* of this
work, not only the math part (he's a mathematician himself), but also
a lot of cleaning and speeding up.
Now we will put our hands in the documentation, for it to be 100% OK
way before 2.6 arrives.
Py3 will come after that.

If you re-eally need to check something into the trunk that re-eally must not be merged into py3k, but you're afraid it's not going to be obvious to the merger, please record the change as 'merged' using "svnmerge merge -M -r<revision>". Please take care when picking the revision ;) You can also just email me or someone else you see doing merges, as I doubt this will be a common occurance.
