+.. change::
+    :tags: bug, sql
+
+    Fixed the base class for dialect-specific float/double types; Oracle
+    :class:`_oracle.BINARY_DOUBLE` now subclasses :class:`_sqltypes.Double`,
+    and internal types for :class:`_sqltypes.Float` for asyncpg and pg8000 now
+    correctly subclass :class:`_sqltypes.Float`.
