libqalculate-5.9.0

[Bruce Dubbs]

New minor version.

[Bruce Dubbs]

Qalculate! version 5.9 (library and CLI)

Changes:

• Improve speed of sort(), rank(), and mode() functions (and other dependent functions)
• Parse ± before implicit multiplication when not preceded by number (e.g. "7 km ± 5m")
• Always consider x^(a + b) equivalent to x^a × x^b (fixes "x^(y + z) − x^y × x^z")
• Simplify (x = a || x ≥ a + 1) and (x ≤ a || x ≥ a + 1), and similar, when x and a are integers (fixes "abs(x − 1) = abs(1 − x)")
• Do not remove duplicate whitespace characters from text strings (in quotation marks)
• Add exact values for multiples of pi/12 (15°) in sin() and cos(), and tan(7/12pin)
• Fix floating point conversion when comma is used as decimal separator
• Fix (almost) endless loop with increasingly complex equations in some cases when x + x^(1/a) is transformed to x = (b − x)^a)
• Fix and improve function() function
• Fix loading of approximate variable with both approximate and exact values (e.g. in vector)
• Fix missing parenthesis for exact number shown as approximate in vector
• Fix conversion to non-unit expression beginning with zero (when not before decimal separator) or minus
• Fix exchange rates updated after calculation of expression with only one currency
• Fix segfault in some corner cases when converting approximate units before uncertainty calculation
• Fix crash on Windows during output of extremely small or large (> 10^323228497) floating point number
• Remove intltool build dependency
• Fix compilation with readline < 7.0 and mpfr < 4.0
• Do not show calculate-as-you-type result for incomplete object name (e.g. "integ" interpreted as "int(e × g)")
• Ellipsize large matrices and vectors when a subset of output, e.g. in a failed function, in qalc
• Completion for commands and options
• Do not show result for variable assignment when --terse and --file are used
• Minor bug fixes and feature enhancements
