base pkg
-replace hard gnuplot dependency by a MESSAGE as it is only needed
if one really wants to plot a function
-register with desktop-file-utils
bump PKGREVISION
No longer identical.
Don't say Linux since this is for other platforms too.
Don't mention GUI interface in the description for the console package.
By the way, the gtk version is really GNOME, but upstreams calls it gtk.
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
