 ### Fixed
 
 - Fix leaked file handles in tests using context managers ([b66a6f5], [#25])
+- Fix `Decimal.normalize()` stripping trailing zeros, breaking round-trip
+  serialization; add regression test ([28c76f1], [0130743], [#28])
 - Fix typo in test name: `test_l9events_form_ip4scout` ->
   `test_l9events_from_ip4scout` ([0d8736e], [#27])
