I just released decimal-java 2.0.1, https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/decimal-java/releases/tag/v2.0.1. Decimal-java is a library to convert java.math.BigDecimal to and from IEEE-754r (IEEE-754-2008) decimal byte representations.

Compared to decimal-java 2.0.0, this version adds JSpecify nullability annotations.

Happy 60th anniversary of Changeover Day (Australia). 🎵🎶In come the dollars and in come the cents

I bought this windup #stopwatch at a vintage shop (Weavers Way Mercantile). It seems to work perfectly, aside from the one time the hands got stuck for reasons I wasn't able to replicate.
