Fixed how the *.tar.bz2 are formed. The calc-2.12.8.0.tar.bz2 file
that was formed for calc version 2.12.8.0 was missing most files.
Expanded 'make chk' to also verify that 'make distchk' and 'make
distlist' execute successfully. This will help check a regression
of the bug that produced the bogus calc-2.12.8.0.tar.bz2 file.
Added additional regression tests related 0^(zero_expression)==1.
Fixed a mistake in "help intro" where some inserted text
changed the value of "." and thus made the next result
incorrect.
Clarified in "help factor" that 1 is returned if no
factor below the limit was found.
Removed Makefile variable ${MAKEFILE_REV}.
The missing cscript/square.calc file has been restored.
Fixed compiler errors and warnings related to GCC.
In particular, gcc/9.3.1 and gcc/10.2.1 now compile
calc without any compiler errors or warnings,
even with -Werror -Wextra -pedantic.
To print out information about the calc compliation
environment, we added the following make rule:
make calcinfo
Improved how 'make debug' operates.
Moved help/contrib to CONTRIB-CODE. The help/contrib file
is now build from a copy of CONTRIB-CODE.
Created a new calc bug report Email address. Created a new calc
question Email address. Created a new calc contribution Email
address. See the BUGS file for details.
Added "help questions" to print the QUESIONS help file.
If the environment variable $CALCHELP is defined and is non-empty,
then calc help files will be in the direcgory by the $CALCHISTFILE
environment variable.
If the environment variable $CALCCUSTOMHELP is defined and is
non-empty, then custom calc help files will be in the direcgory
by the $CALCCUSTOMHELP environment variable.
The calc-tester mailing list has been retired. See:

Calc as defined 0^0 as 1. However in the past, 0 raised to
an expression that evaluted to zero returned 1. The result
was that 0^0 was different than 0^(6-6) or even 0^(0).
Now, calc will return 1 for 0^(0) and 0^zero when zero == 0.
This code %g is preliminary.
Fixed some code style issues to match the current code style.
Added regression tests and help file updates to printf and strprintf.
Fixed use of magic number -4: using -P instead.
Noted two problem areas with XXX comments in qio.c:
1) need a qprintfg function
2) re-write to not modify conf->outdigits
Fixed a man page warning about ./myfile where the leading dot
was mistook for an nroff macro. Thanks goes to David Haller
<dnh at opensuse dot org> for providing the patch.
Improved gen_v1(h,n) in lucas.cal for cases where h is not a
multiple of 3. Optimized the search for v(1) when h is a
multiple of 3.
Fixed a Makefile problem, reported by Doug Hays <doughays6 at gmail
dot com>, where if a macOS user set BINDIR, LIBDIR, CALC_SHAREDIR
or INCDIR in the top section, their values will be overwritten by
the Darwin specific section.
Some folks might think: “you still use RCS”?!? And we will say,
hey, at least we switched from SCCS to RCS back in … I think it was
around 1994 ... at least we are keeping up! :-) :-) :-)
Logs say that SCCS version 18 became RCS version 19 on 1994 March 18.
RCS served us well. But now it is time to move on. And so we are
switching to git.
Calc releases produce a lot of file changes. In the 125 releases
of calc since 1996, when I started managing calc releases, there
have been 15473 file mods!
