Gcalctool is the default GNOME desktop calculator.

It has Basic, Advanced, Financial and Scientific modes. Internally it uses multiple precision arithmetic to produce results to a high degree of accuracy.

This release is for the GNOME 2.10.1 call for tarballs.

Note that in order to build, gcalctool now requires Gtk+ v2.6.1 (or later).


Changes since the last gcalctool version (5.5.41).

* Fixed bug 170158 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170158)

GENIUS 0.7.3 has been released:

Something I've been meaning to do for a long time has been to reduce the default precision that genius will have mpfr use for floats. So far it has been 256 bits which is I suppose way overdoing it. It just slows down calculations. Moving to 128 bits speeds up lots of things especially if you evaluate functions like sin or exp a lot and it's way more then is really needed. Reducing further would not get such a dramatic impact and then why would we be using gmp at all, we could have used `double' and saved a lot of trouble (hey a poem!) :): You can always jack it back up to 256 in the preferences if you really care for so much precision.

So now you can write simple little Ruby scripts to mine the data store for information, for example:

=============================
require 'revolution'

r = Revolution::Revolution.new

r.get_all_contacts.each {|c|
puts "First name: #{c.first_name}"
puts "Last name: #{c.last_name}"
puts "Work email: #{c.work_email}" if !c.work_email.nil?
}

last_week = Time.new.to_i-(7*24*60*60)
next_week = Time.new.to_i+(7*24*60*60)
r.get_all_appointments(last_week, next_week).each {|appt|
puts "Summary: #{appt.summary}"
puts "Location: #{appt.location}"
puts "Start time: #{appt.start}"
}

r.get_all_tasks.each {|t|
puts "Task (#{t.uid})"
puts "Summary: #{t.summary}"
puts "Description: #{t.description.slice(0,70)}"
puts "Start date: #{t.start}"
}
=============================

If you have RubyGems installed, you can install the Gem using "gem install --remote revolution", or you can download a zip file here:
