features:
* Rich set of number classes
* Elementary, logical, transcendental functions
* C++ as implementation language brings efficiency, type safety,
and algebraic syntax
* Memory efficiency
* Speed efficiency
* Interoperability
* Fixed bug 135064. Changing the sign of a large number (when "Show
Thousands Separator" is on and this is not the C locale), no longer
corrupts the display.
My special thanks to Miloslav Trmac for fixing this problem in a
really elegant manner. This is an important change to the way that
numbers are displayed.
The fix involved resetting all the internal calculations in gcalctool
to be done in the C locale, and then localized (radix character and
thousands separator), just before the number is displayed.
I'd appreciate it if everybody could give this a good thrashing in as
many locales as possible to make sure that it's fully working.
* Fixed bug 135328. Added Shift-slash as a recognized alternate for the
divide operation (needed by the be-latin1 keyboard layout).
Changes since 4.3.44:
* Fixed bug 134540. gcalctool now correctly handles the digits
0123456789 which are shifted about the accented characters on a
French keyboard.
* Fixed bug 134484. Doing "3 x! x! x!" no longer causes gcalctool to
lock up.
Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.44
* Fixed bug 133764.
- "Gradients" was still appearing when in Scientific mode (instead of
"Gradians".
- In the x^2 button, the 2 should not be italicized.
- In the x^2 and x^y buttons, the x should be italicized.
- The View Thousands Separator menu item should not remain active during
an error condition.
Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.43
* Fixed bug 133590. The About box now lists the documenters of gcalctool.
Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.42
* Fixed bug 132582. Adjusted the gcalctool titlebar to use a hyphen
(rather than square brackets) to show what mode the user is currently
using.
Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.41
* Fixed bug 132570. Adjusted UI to use spacing to delineate groups rather
than frames (per the HIG).
Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.40
* Fixed bug 131571. User defined constants are now read/written out (as
gconf resources) with no thousands separator and with a radix of ".".
Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.39
* Fixed bug 131594. The "Insert ASCII View..." menu item and the
"Insert" button no longer use the GTK_STOCK_CONVERT stock icon
(as per the HIG).
configure tries to determine if -lm is needed by compiling
int main() {
(void)sin(0.0);
; return 0; }
and see if linking fails. But gcc3.3 optimizes that to just "return 0;"
Changes since version 1.11.7:
1.12.1 2003-12-01
Corrected omission of file "lib/udunits.inc.in" from
distribution.
Ported to Mac OSX (I hope).
1.12.0 2003-08-29
Corrected definition of "apothecary_pound".
Corrected documentation of "common_year" in the units
database.
Modified the syntax of a couple of statements in
file "src/utlib.c" to accomodate the, apparently,
non-conforming C/SX C compiler on NEC SX-4 SUPER-UX
systems, which can't dereference a pointer returned by a
function.
Added "mi" to database as alias for "mile".
Corrected documentation on origin-shift in unit
specifications.
Ported to systems with sizeof(double) <
sizeof(DOUBLE PRECISION).
Added determination of Fortran type equivalent to C pointer
to configuration script.
Added utIsInit() and utisopen() to the API.
Corrected Hertz symbol: changed from "hz" to "Hz".
Corrected reference to udunits(3) library in udunitsperl(1)
manual-page.
Added support for Absoft Fortran.
2.4.3 --> 2.4.4:
----------------
Bug fixes:
NetCDF error messages should now be correct. No more "unknown errors"!
2.4 --> 2.4.1:
--------------
Bug fixes:
- Scientific.MPI did not contain the _C_API object needed by C extension
modules that call MPI.
- The arguments to the receiveString method are now optional, as documented.
2.3.3 --> 2.4:
--------------
Bug fixes:
- Memory function calculation in Scientific.Signals.Models
returned a wrong value for the first point.
- Some indexing problems in Scientific.IO.NetCDF were fixed;
none of them caused wrong results, just unjustified exceptions.
2.3.2 --> 2.3.3:
----------------
Bug fixes:
- The method divide() assumed the wrong coefficient order.
New features:
- Module Scientific.Signals.Models
- Class Scientific.Statistics.Histogram.WeightedHistogram
2.3.1 --> 2.3.2:
----------------
Incompatible changes:
- Specification of routines in Scientific.BSP changed.
2.2 --> 2.3.1
-------------
New features:
- New modules Scientific.BSP and Scientific.BSP.IO
Changes since 4.3.35:
* Fixed bug 131059. Fix to allow the thousands separator to be used
correctly with the creation of the initial constant values in the
Russian locale.
* Fixed bug 130078. Changed the y^x button label to x^y (really x
superscript y). Adjusted the tooltip message to "Raise displayed
value to the power of y".
* Fixed bug 130282 again. Needed to remove the "|| tsep[0] == '\0'" check
from the get_tsep() routine in order to get the thousands separator to
correctly work in all locales. Note that there is no thousands separator
now for the C locale.
Changes sinec 4.2.83:
o Many bug fixes.
o Further work on enhancement request 125873. As the user is typing
in input, the display will now show the thousands separator
(if checked).
o On a Solaris keyboard, Shift-"^" is
GDK_asciicircum/GDK_SHIFT_MASK. This keyval/state pair needed to
be added to the Xor recognized mappings.
o gcalctool can now optionally show the thousands seperator
character for fixed point numbers displayed in the decimal
base. Same for numbers stored in the memory registers. There is
a new "Show Thousands Separator" menu entry in the View menu to
set this.
o Online help updated.
o Updated the gcalctool man pages.
o Install "gnome-calculator" symlink as reqested by Glynn Foster.
Pkgsrc fixes:
1) Install trans directory.
Official bug fixes since bug fix 4:
1) A wrong return format for `IsomorphicSubgroups' applied to cyclic groups.
2) A wrong `true' result of `IsSubset' for certain algebras.
3) Segmentation faults and other strange behaviour when assigning
finite field elements of different characteristics into compressed vectors
4) A bug in the subgroup conjugation test for permutation groups that are
not subgroups.
5) A missing method for `BaseOrthogonalSpaceMat'.
6) A missing `Set' call in the construction of the global variable
`AUTOLOAD_PACKAGES'.
7) A wrong display string of the numerator in rational functions returned
by `MolienSeries' (in the case that the constant term of this numerator
is zero).
8) A strange behaviour of `Intersection' for the case that a strictly
sorted list is the unique entry of the list that is given as the
argument; in this situation, this entry itself was returned instead of
a shallow copy.
9) An error in the basis of a product space of algebras.
10) Possibly wrong result of `Centre' for pc groups.
11) Possibly wrong result of `DirectSumDecomposition' for matrix Lie algebras.
12) An error in `LieNormalizer', `LieCentralizer' for zero subspaces.
13) An error in the computation of matrices of adjoint modules.
14) A strange error message when constructing the simple Lie algebra of type
B1.
15) An error in `ModuleByRestriction'.
16) An error in `IrrBaumClausen' for the trivial group.
17) An error with vector space bases of row spaces over fields which
neither are prime fields nor contain all entries of the vectors.
18) An error with `IsMonomial', when it uses the function
`TestMonomialFromLattice' (i.e., in hard cases, likely for characters of
nonsolvable groups).
Errors 1, 3, 5, 6, 9, 12, 13, 14 and 16 may cause GAP to stop with an error
message, errors 2, 4, 7, 10, 17, and 18 may cause wrong results.
- teTeX 1.0.x packages have been moved to teTeX1* directories.
- teTeX 2.0.x packages have been moved to teTeX* directories and their base
name has been changed to teTeX (instead of teTeX2).
