11 * Add variable word size for bitwise functions (Robin Sonefors, Bug #581253)

168 * Fixed calculation errors for boolean operations on very large numbers (Robert Ancell, Bug #509988)

551 item checkbox status when user goes from Sci/Fin/Adv mode to Basic.
552 (Needed because of the recent changes for bug #478961).
556 Overview of changes in gcalctool 5.21.0
558 * Fix for bug #326938 – Display cursor in input area; allow home and
559 end keys. This is in arithmetic precedence mode only.
561 * Fix for bug #484158 – Setting Accuracy is incorrect via the 0-9 places
564 * Fix for bug #439087 – Gcalctool can't handle small physic constants
565 like the Boltzmann constant. The number of significant places has
566 been increased to 99 and the number of displayable digits has been
567 increased to 200. The online help has been adjusted to reflect these
570 Note that if you have something in the gcalctool display that is
571 wider than the display area, a scrollbar is shown, but the first
572 digit isn't properly displayed. The workaround here, is to enlarge
573 the size of the calculator window until the scrollbar goes away.
574 I believe this is a Gtk+ problem and have filed bug #482688 against
577 * Fixed bug #367738 – [doc] Square root documentation needs to be updated.
578 The entry in the online help now includes examples for both arithmetic
579 precedence and non-arithmetic precedence mode.
581 * Fixed bug #428571 – [doc] Repetitive usage of "use".
583 * Use GNOME_MAINTAINER_MODE_DEFINES() to handle *_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
585 * Fixed bug #428573 – [doc] Spelling of logical gates.
586 The logical operations, And, Not, Or, Xor and Xnor now use uppercase
587 letters (AND, NOT, OR, XOR and XNOR) for both the buttons and in the
588 display area in arithmetic precedence mode. The gcalctool manual
589 pages and the online help have been updated accordingly.
591 The XOR operation in non-arithmetic mode was doing a multiplication
594 The result for the AND example in the online help was incorrect.
596 The syntax for using NOT in aritmetic mode is different then for
597 non-arithmetic mode. The online help example has been updated to
600 * Fixed bug #469245 – Hexadecimal input is not intuitive and
601 bug #455889 – Copy/paste of lower case hex letter does not work.
602 The hexadecimal digits have been changed back to their pre Sept
603 2003 (bug #118826) values of "a" - "f".
605 The following functions have also had their keyboard shortcuts
606 reverted back to their pre Sept 2003 upper-case values:
610 [D] - Double-declining depreciation
611 [E] - Enter an exponential number
612 [F] - User-defined functions
614 With copy/paste operations, where the user is pasting a string into
615 gcalctool, the copy buffer is now iterated over. If an "A", "B", "C",
616 "D" or "F" character is encountered, it will be converted to its
617 lowercase equivalent. If an "E" is found, and the next character is a
618 "-" or a "+", then it remains as an upper case "E" (it's assumed to be
619 a possible exponential number), otherwise its converted to a lower
622 Displaying of hex digits in the gcalctool display will still be
623 in uppercase. Displaying of the "e" in an exponential number will
624 still be in lower-case.
626 The way to enter exponential numbers in arithmetic precedence mode
627 has changed. The following four examples should show you the new
630 1 2 Exp + 8 = 1200000000
631 - 1 2 Exp + 8 = -1200000000
632 1 2 Exp - 8 = 0.00000012
633 - 1 2 Exp - 8 = -0.00000012
635 In both left-to-right precedence and arithmetic precedence modes, if
636 the user enters a numeric digit that is incorrect for the current
637 numeric base, this shouldn't be allowed and should not be entered
640 The gcalctool documentation (and tooltips) have been updated to
641 reflect these changes.

2110 thousands separator support caused a crash at startup time on a Debian
2111 system. The initial constant strings are being put in read-only memory
2112 either by gcc (or because of the way that x86 arch is designed). This was
2113 not a problem when tested with the Sun compilers on a Solaris SPARC machine.
2114 The remove_tsep() routine is display.c has been rewritten to correctly
2119 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.28

2170 * Fixed bug 127862. The fix for bug #125625 introduced a potential
2171 out-of-order case for users who are rapid keyboard typers. This
2172 bug fix rectifies this with the unfortunate side-effect of no longer
2173 visual toggling the equivalent button to the keyboard character
2174 that the user entered. This fix is still compatible with the way
2175 the accessibility infrastructure works though.
2179 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.21
2181 * Fixed bug 65806. For the "1/x", "x^2", "x!", "e^x", "10^x" and

2183 The "e" in "e^x" is no longer italicized.
2187 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.20
2189 * Fixed bug 127316. The "fix" introduced in gcalctool v4.1.18 to fix Sun

2195 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.19
2197 * Fixed bug 127672. The "=" key on a Swedish keyboard is on the upper

2242 * Fixed bug #123948. Removed the GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED flag from

2244 GtkItemFactory, to successfully build.
2248 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.12
2250 * Fixed bug 123724. Hitting Esc now does the same as hitting
2251 Control-Backspace; i.e. the CE (clear entry) functionality.
2252 * Updated the gcalctool man pages to reflect this change, and the changes
2257 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.11
2259 * Refixed bug 122373. gcalctool now uses nl_langinfo() to get the numeric
2260 point for the users locale, rather than via a localised string.
2264 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.10
2266 * Fixed enhancement #65806. Changed that label for e^x (e superscript x) to

2301 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.5
