+New ``min_digits`` argument for printing float values
+-----------------------------------------------------
+A new ``min_digits`` argument has been added to the dragon4 float printing
+functions `np.format_float_positional` and `np.format_float_scientific` . This
+kwd guarantees that at least the given number of digits will be printed when
+printing in unique=True mode, even if the extra digits are unnecessary to
+uniquely specify the value. It is the counterpart to the precision argument
+which sets the maximum number of digits to be printed. When unique=False in
+fixed precision mode, it has no effect and the precision argument fixes the
+number of digits.
