[Arg-parser-bug] Rational 1.2 released

[Antonio Diaz Diaz]

I am pleased to announce the release of Rational 1.2.

Rational is a C++ class implementing rational numbers of limited size 
with overflow detection. Both numerator and denominator are of type 'int'.

Rational allows you to perform exact calculations and verify at any time 
if overflow has occurred. Rational does not throw exceptions.

The 'parse' function is intended as a mean of obtaining values exactly 
representable by small fractions from the command line, for example 
'0.1', '1/3' or '355/113'.

Rational is used in combination with Arg_parser in GNU ddrescue and GNU 
Ocrad.

Changes in version 1.2:

  * The option "-s, --sqrt", which calculates rational approximations 
of the square root of a integer, has been added to the test program.

  * The targets "install-compress", "install-strip-compress" and 
"install-man-compress" have been added to the Makefile.
