---------------------------
The major version number was bumped because the bug fix for
:func:`~humanfriendly.text.pluralize()` is backwards incompatible
and (even though this seems like very "cosmetic" functionality)
version numbers are cheap, so who cares 😉.
**Bug fixes:**
- Changed :func:`~humanfriendly.format_number()` to properly support negative
numbers (as suggested in `issue 40`_).
- Changed :func:`~humanfriendly.text.pluralize()` to generate "1.5 seconds"
instead of "1.5 second" (as suggested in `issue 43`_).
**Enhancements:**
- Enhanced :func:`~humanfriendly.text.concatenate()` to support ``conjunction``
and ``serial_comma`` keyword arguments (as suggested in `issue 30`_).
- Added :func:`~humanfriendly.text.pluralize_raw()` to select singular or
plural form without prefixing the count to the text that is returned.
