210- Avoid performing unnecessary rounding of <link

210+ Improve performance by changing the default number of trailing digits

216- This dramatically speeds up processing of floating-point
217- values but causes additional trailing digits to
218- potentially be displayed. Users wishing to have output
219- that is rounded to match the previous behavior can set <link
220- linkend="guc-extra-float-digits"><literal>extra_float_digits=0</literal></link>,
221- which is no longer the default.
216+ Previously, float values were output rounded to 6 or 15 decimals
217+ by default. Now, only the number of digits required to preserve
218+ the exact binary value is output. The previous behavior can be
219+ restored by setting <xref linkend="guc-extra-float-digits"/> to zero.
