The actual result is correct, please see https://3v4l.org/BfqFu.

If you'd like to receive the old result (though you should ask yourself why you want that) you can either
a) change the serialize_precision setting, understanding that you will no longer receive an accurate floating-point representation, or
b) explicitly round your floating point numbers to a lower level of precision.
