# 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 `-`.
