changes:
-Use Lambert W to solve more equations and avoid infinite loop when solving
some equations
-More data on elements
-Fix simplification of (1-1/x)^3 and similar
-Fix clumsy mistakes in with prefixes leading to crashes
-Fix parsing of unit expressions (when converting) such as W/(m K)
-Add more exact values for sin() and cos() and avoid floating point underflow
by, in approximate mode, checking against the value of pi
-Always input decimal separator sign on keypad separator press
-Fix crash when expression entry reclaims focus if compiled with optimizations
(GTK+)
-New units: typographic units, pouce, pied du roi, grams of TNT and tons of TNT
-New functions: lambertW(), addDays(), addMonths(), addYear(), addTime(),
isNumber(), isReal(), isRational(), isInteger(), representsNumber(),
representsReal(), representsRational(), representsInteger()
-New variable: omega constant
-Other minor fixes and enhancements
also fix wrong inclusion of scrollkeeper/bl3
by any system that pkgsrc supports anyway. It seems to only be used by
ultrix and it isn't clear that scilab still works on ultrix anyway and it almost
certainly doesn't under pkgsrc.
calendar math and fill in wday/yday. Use mktime(3) to have those fields
calculated.
-Fix non-portable use of sort(1) (in an example/selftest only): the "-n"
option should "restrict" the sort key to a numeric field, there is no
requirement to use another key if no numbers are present.
-bump PKGREVISION
Based on patch provided by PR 37017.
Fixes build problem with gtk-2.12.0.
OKed by wiz@.
This release introduces so-called paper mode, a new galculator view intended to
be more intuitive by means of "Do your calculations as you would do them on a
paper". Along with this new GUI feature, various bugs all over the GUI - core
interface have been fixed, with the arithmetic core stable and flawless since a
handful of releases.
too many changes to list here
pkgsrc changes:
-add use of pcre and qhull to options, and include
both in the default configuration
-play dirty tricks to make sure GNU sed is used as sed -- there is
something in the "mkf77def" script which doesn't work with NetBSD sed
This is a major release. Significant changes include:
* calc may be built with static or dynamic shared libraries
* overhauled Makefiles to use system targets
- replaced compiler sets with host targets
- targets include: linux, OS X, FreeBSD, simple, default
- many changes to Makefile variables
* calc source static and extern variables declared with CPP symbols
- to make it easier to compile under certain Windoz environments
- to assist those who are developing a multi-threaded calc lib
* calc library makes it easier to control parse and scan messages
* added Makefile.simple for hosts without GNU Make
* added custom registers
- when calc is run with the -C flag
* dropped support of md5 and sha-0 hashes
* calc supports real and complex exponentiation bases and exponents
- i.e., 2.5 ^ 3.5, 0.5i ^ 0.25, 2.5 ^ 2.718i, 3.13145i ^ 0.30103i
added TEST_TARGET
Changes since 12.7.2:
Improved documentation.
Added display of maximum memory usage to version command.
Allow read command in the Mathomatic library and fixed memory leak with it.
Added echo command per a user's request.
Improved factoring out constants, to make all coefficients reduced integers by
factoring out their gcd.
Added gcd_verified() function, to weed out false floating point gcds.
Made limit command say whether it is substituting or solving.
Added "mathomatic.desktop" and "mathomatic.png", which are the desktop and
icon files for Linux.
Minor code, documentation, and makefile improvements.
Added "tests/quartic.in" and fixed incomplete simplification in the calculate
command.
Allow upper case when parsing infinity constant name "inf", required by CygWin
version and maybe others.
The makefiles no longer strip the created executables.
Reordered source code so many functions can be defined returning "void" (which
means no return value).
Added "tests/how_limit_works.in" tutorial and restored "doc/notes.html".
Testing change to only one kind of partial unfactoring (partial_flag =
true/false, default true), completely distinct from full unfactoring. Used
throughout, let me know if this breaks anything.
Added "simplify fraction" option, which simplifies like Maxima's ratsimp().
ChangeLog:
- Complete rewrite of units implementation, allowing user-defined units
and physical constants.
- Updated included ocamlgsl bindings to 0.6.0.
- Square root of a negative value now returns a complex result.
- gcd(), lcd(), and mod() now accept real-valued arguments.
- Fix for crash in abbrev mode.
- Made a minor Makefile change to correct linking errors under Gentoo
(maybe others).
- Numerous code cleanups. Calculator code has been better separated from
interface code.
- Support --sysconfdir configure option. (Anyone packaging for the
filesystem hierarchy standard will now need to use something like
"./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc".)
- Implemented entry of most fundamental physical constants.
- Fixed incorrect error message regarding deprecated extended_enter command
