52 Overview of changes in gcalctool 5.5.10
54 * Fix for bug #157021. X^Y now works for -X with integer Y. -X with

104 - When the user attempts to enter an invalid entry in the Set Precision
105 popup, an error message is shown in the main gcalctool status bar.
106 - the other Acc radio button items (0-9) need to have mnemonics (_0, _1 ...).
108 * Fixed bug #152790. Most of the changes needed were already in CVS; there

144 * The "(" and ")" buttons have moved from the scientific mode into the
145 Basic mode so that they are now available to users who need them but not
146 everything that the Scientific mode provides.
147 * There is a footer message area that provides feedback.
148 * The display area now has an horizontal scrollbar.

409 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.31
411 * Fixed bug 129539. The thousands separator is a null terminated string,

422 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.29
424 * Fixed bug 128603. The changes for enhancement request #126626 which added
425 thousands separator support caused a crash at startup time on a Debian
426 system. The initial constant strings are being put in read-only memory
427 either by gcc (or because of the way that x86 arch is designed). This was
428 not a problem when tested with the Sun compilers on a Solaris SPARC machine.
429 The remove_tsep() routine is display.c has been rewritten to correctly
434 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.28
436 * Further work on enhancement request 125873. As the user is typing in
437 input, the display will now show the thousands separator (if checked).
441 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.27

455 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.25
457 * Implemented enhancement request 125873. gcalctool can now optionally
458 show the thousands seperator character for fixed point numbers displayed
459 in the decimal base. Same for numbers stored in the memory registers.
460 There is a new "Show Thousands Separator" menu entry in the View menu
465 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.24
467 * Fixed bug 126626. gcalctool no longer causes a Gtk-CRITICAL error when

469 character was being inserted into the text string to be displayed for
474 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.23
476 * Fixed bug 125782. If the user is entering a left parenthesis and it is
477 the first one being displayed and there is no current arithmetic operand,
478 then the current display is initially cleared to avoid the confusion of
479 showing something like "0(".
483 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.22
485 * Fixed bug 127862. The fix for bug #125625 introduced a potential
486 out-of-order case for users who are rapid keyboard typers. This
487 bug fix rectifies this with the unfortunate side-effect of no longer
488 visual toggling the equivalent button to the keyboard character
489 that the user entered. This fix is still compatible with the way
490 the accessibility infrastructure works though.
494 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.21
496 * Fixed bug 65806. For the "1/x", "x^2", "x!", "e^x", "10^x" and
497 "y^x" labels, all occurances of "x" and "y" are now italicized.
498 The "e" in "e^x" is no longer italicized.
502 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.20
504 * Fixed bug 127316. The "fix" introduced in gcalctool v4.1.18 to fix Sun
505 Bugtraq bug #1258472 against CDE dtcalc (which was also a problem with
506 gcalctool) was incorrect.
510 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.19
512 * Fixed bug 127672. The "=" key on a Swedish keyboard is on the upper
513 level of a key (i.e. the Shift key needs to be down). Added another
514 mask/keysym pair to the "=" entry to handle this.
518 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.18
520 * Fixed bug 125625. gcalctool now handles "clicked" events rather than

539 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.15
541 * Fixed bug 124172. The "+" character on a German keyboard is on the lower
542 level of a key (i.e. the Shift key doesn't need to be down). Added another
543 mask/keysym pair to the "+" entry to handle this.
547 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.14
549 * Fixed bug 120737. Changed the accessible text for the OR button from
550 "Logical OR" to "logical OR" so that it's not changed by FreeTTS's
551 token to words module to "logical Oregon".
555 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.13
557 * Fixed bug #123948. Removed the GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED flag from
558 .../gcalctool/gcalctool/Makefile.am, to allow the depreciated
559 GtkItemFactory, to successfully build.
563 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.12
565 * Fixed bug 123724. Hitting Esc now does the same as hitting
566 Control-Backspace; i.e. the CE (clear entry) functionality.
567 * Updated the gcalctool man pages to reflect this change, and the changes
572 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.11
574 * Refixed bug 122373. gcalctool now uses nl_langinfo() to get the numeric
575 point for the users locale, rather than via a localised string.
579 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.10
581 * Fixed enhancement #65806. Changed that label for e^x (e superscript x) to
586 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.9

611 Accessible names have now been added to each of the widgets in the
612 mode panel when in Scientific mode.
616 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.5
618 * Fixed bug 122373. The decimal separator is now a translatable string so
619 that other locales that don't use a period can adjust accordingly.
623 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.3.4
625 * Fixed bug 120605. Gcalctool debug messages are no longer translatable

729 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.2.94
731 * Further work on bug 114364. The items in the constants menu are now always

733 calctool in the OpenWindows DeskSet worked.
737 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.2.93
739 * Fixed bug 114364. When you select "Edit Constants" from the Con menu, the
740 values of each constant are shown in Decimal. The label:

742 has also been added to the "Edit Constant" popup to clarify this.
746 Overview of changes in gcalctool 4.2.92
748 * Fixed bug 115653. Adjusted the keyboard mnemonic checking code to now
