pydice now uses int(random() * n + 1) instead of randint(1, n) to generation its random numbers much faster.
New in pydice 3.8.0
PyDiceroll is now pydice. PyDiceroll has been discontinued. Modified DEBUG level logging for BOON, BANE, ADVANTAGE, and DISADVANTAGE rolls. The newly introduced default roll performs a 2D6 roll. Added error-trapping when performing MINMAXAVG rolls at the CMD prompt.

New in PyDiceroll 3.4.0
The MINMAXAVG roll has been added. Just doing:
>>> roll('MINMAXAVG')

Parsing
The roll() function has improved parsing that allows for spaces from other program sources. Error-checking understands this
and will even check for negative numbers of dice. This improved feature works whether PyDiceroll is being used in a Python
program or at a CMD prompt.
Refactored for Python 3.9
PyDiceroll’s code has been updated from 2.5 to 3.9 standards.
The D5 has been added to PyDiceroll. It is basically a D10 divided by 2, much like how the D3 die is a D6 that is divided by 2.
