OxiNum 0.1.4 Released — When a Perfectly Valid Number Tried to Allocate Past Its Budget

OxiNum 0.1.4 closes an unbounded-allocation class across add/sub, remainder, and binary-splitting transcendentals — a legitimately valid but extreme BigFloat exponent could previously drive memory proportional to the exponent gap, aborting the process. New MAX_EXACT_CONVERSION_BITS-guarded try_* fallible APIs, an enforced BigFloat exponent range (EMAX/EMIN, ilogb), a fixed IEEE-754 subnormal-rounding double-rounding bug, and a Rem correctness fix. Pure Rust, no GMP, no MPFR, no FFI.
