# 3.3.3

This is a production release with one tweak and fixes for manuals.

The tweak is that length(0) returns 1 instead of 0. In 3.3.1, I changed it so length(0.x), where x could be any number of digits, returned the scale, but length(0) still returned 0 because I believe that 0 has 0 significant digits.

After request of FreeBSD and considering the arguments of a mathematician, compatibility with other bc's, and the expectations of users, I decided to make the change.

The fixes for manuals fixed a bug where -- was rendered as -.
