    Migration Notes

    With the integration of Scala.js, the library needed to be broken down into a few sub projects. This requires a slight change to how the console needs to be loaded. The correct command is now:

    sbt squantsJVM/console

    Vector has been renamed to SVector and now provides the factory methods for both Quantity and Double based vectors. User code that creates vectors should be modified to use this factory.
    🚚 The improvements to Vectors also removed the various experiments for dimensional conversion. These improvements are significant but still contain experimental API features which are subject to change.

    πŸš€ The support for generic numbers will exist only in test code for the project until we move on to 0.7.x development. Prior to that change, a 0.6.x release will be cut that will based on the old (Double) model. The goal will be to fully implement this feature during 0.7.x development.

    The new dimension Information was originally called Storage.
