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 an early one for the GNOME 2.13/2.14 release train. It's being provided to get early feedback on a couple of new features.
Changes since the last gcalctool version (5.6.31).
* Fixed bug #317378 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317378)
Exponential notation now works correctly in arithmetic operator
precedence mode.
* Adjusted the mpcmim() routine in mp.c. The fix for Sun bug #4006391
needed to also preserve v->toclear and v->pointed.
* Work on enhancement request #157961. Implemented the bit twiddling
panel for non-arithmetic precedence mode. It's automatically displayed
when in Scientific mode.
* Fixed bug #316382. The "useless" cursor is no longer displayed in
the calculator display area.
* Implemented enhancement request #148104. Added in a modulo operation.
This is available in Scientic Mode. A Mod B return the remainder when
you divide A by B. A and B must be integers. Keyboard shortcut for this
operation is "M".
* Fixed bug #162453. The memory register dialog now uses GtkEntry widgets
to display the register values. Gnopernicus can now correctly speak the
contents of each memory register. There is also a close button to easily
dismiss this dialog.
* Fixed bug #314540. The memory register window is now a dialog rather
than a top-level window.
* Fix to prevent invalid numeric entry in arithmetic operator precedence
mode, depending upon the current base.
