+  * Well-behaved floating-point ranges ([#2333], [#5636]).
+    Introduced the `FloatRange` type for floating-point ranges with a step,
+    which will give intuitive/correct results for classically problematic
+    ranges like `0.1:0.1:0.3`, `0.0:0.7:2.1` or `1.0:1/49:27.0`.

   * `mod2pi` function ([#4799], [#4862]).
