Added Makefile variable ${VER} to holdthe calc major release version.
The calc major release version is a 3 level version (x.y.z).
Under macOS, the current version of both libcalc and
libcustcalc are set to the current calc major release version.
Under macOS, to reduce dependency chains, we remove functions and
data that are unreachable by the entry point or exported symbols.
In particular, the linker is run with "-dead_strip" and with
"-dead_strip_dylibs".
The macOS ld documentation states that option should not be used
when linking against a dylib which is required at runtime for some
indirect reason such as the dylib has an important initializer.
The libcustcalc appears to have such an initializer.
Under macOS, to reduce dependency chains, we remove functions and
data that are unreachable by the entry point or exported symbols.
In particular, the linker is run with "-dead_strip" and with
"-dead_strip_dylibs".
Dropped the use of Makefile variable ${SET_INSTALL_NAME}.
Under macOS it was always needed, elsewhere it was not.

Removed the ${CAL_PASSDOWN}, ${HELP_PASSDOWN}, ${HELP_PASSDOWN},
${CSCRIPT_PASSDOWN} Makefile variables as the new Makefile
include files keep Makefile variables in sync.
Fixed the ability of calc to compile when CUSTOM is undefined
(i.e., -UCUSTOM). The libcustcalc is always built, regardless
of the $(ALLOW_CUSTOM} Makefile variable. However when CUSTOM
is undefined, the bulk of custom functions are not defined.
Moved makefile variables that configure calc and configure how to
compile calc from Makefile into a new Makefile.config file.
The Makeifle includes the Makefile.config file.
The cal/Makeifle includes the Makefile.config file.
The cscript/Makeifle includes the Makefile.config file.
The custom/Makeifle includes the Makefile.config file.
The help/Makeifle includes the Makefile.config file.
Now, the Makefile.config file will consistently configure
calc and how calc is compiled and built by all calc Makefiles.
The platform target section from the old Makefile has been moved to
a new file, Makefile.target. The custom/Makefile no longer includes
Makefile.
The Makeifle includes the Makefile.target file.
The cal/Makeifle includes the Makefile.target file.
The cscript/Makeifle includes the Makefile.target file.
The custom/Makeifle includes the Makefile.target file.
The help/Makeifle includes the Makefile.target file.
Now, the Makefile.target file will consistently set
target information for all calc Makefiles.
The cal/Makeifle includes the Makefile.local file.
The cscript/Makeifle includes the Makefile.local file.
The custom/Makeifle includes the Makefile.local file.
The help/Makeifle includes the Makefile.local file.
Thus, one may modify or append many Makefile variables
in all calc Makefiles.
Dropped support of Makefile.simple and custom/Makefile.simple.
The calc version 2.14.3.0 is the last release that supported
the Makefile.simple and custom/Makefile.simple files.
Now, a make that supports makefile conditional syntax is required.
The platform target section from the old Makefile has been moved
to a new file, Makefile.target. The Makefile.target is shared
by both Makefile and custom/Makefile. The custom/Makefile no
longer includes Makefile (instead it includes ../Makefile.target).
Updated comments in Makefile.local for how to Diagnosing memory,
thread, and crash issues under RHEL and macOS.
We no longer support the Makefile variable ${ALLOW_CUSTOM} to be empty.
Normally ${ALLOW_CUSTOM} is:
ALLOW_CUSTOM= -DCUSTOM
Now, to disable custom disable custom even if -C is given, use:
ALLOW_CUSTOM="-UCUSTOM"
Added comments in Makefile.local for how to reduce dependency chains
under macOS. XXX - this doesn't yet work so don't uncomment - XXX.
Improved .gitignore to ignore .static, calc-static,
sample_many-static and sample_rand-static.
Improved error messages when trying to compile with
with one calc type (when BLD_TYPE=calc-dynamic-only or
BLD_TYPE=calc-static-only) and install with the other.
When installing with BLD_TYPE=calc-static-only, the
installed calc and calc-static are links to each other.
Thanks to GitHub user @urtleWilly for this suggestion.
The dynamic shared libraries are not installed if they are not
built. So when installing with BLD_TYPE=calc-static-only, the
install rule will not attempt to install dynamic shared libraries.
Thanks to GitHub user @urtleWilly for bringing to our attention,
problems related to building a statically linked calc under macOS.
The following are the changes in this release:
Updated COPYING to include the actual text of "The Unlicense".
Made minor formatting changes to the file.
The Darwin specific ${DARWIN_ARCH}, thay by default was unset,
is now the ${ARCH_CFLAGS} Makefile variable. Comments about
various "-arch name" have been moved to the ${ARCH_CFLAGS} area.
For old Apple Power PC systems, the following is added:
COMMON_CFLAGS+= -std=gnu99
COMMON_LDFLAGS+= -std=gnu99
ARCH_CFLAGS+= -arch ppc
Old Apple Power PC systems should be detected by the
"uname -p" command returning "powerpc". One may force the
Power PC mode by adding to the end of any make command:
make ...make_args... target=Darwin arch=powerpc
or by adding the following in the Makefile.local file:
target= Darwin
arch= powerpc
Improved the output of the calcinfo rule by adding echos
of various uname values as well as some top Makefile variables.
Fixed the BUGS file with respect to using `make debug`.
Added a final ls of `debug.out` for `make debug`.
Test if the arch value (`uname -p`) is "powerpc".
PowerPC based systems no longer try to use xcrun to determine where
things like INCDIR (include files) are located.
The following are the changes in this release:
Added cal/fnv_tool.cal, a calc resource file defining:
find_fnv_prime(bits)
deprecated_fnv0(bits,fnv_prime,string)
fnv_offset_basis(bits,fnv_prime)
fnv1a_style_hash(bits,fnv_prime,prev_hash,string)
Fixed sorted order of cal/README.
The following are the changes in this release:
Ported calc to the s390x IBM Mainframe running RHEL9.1.
Added cal/splitbits.cal:
splitbits(x, b)
Given an integer x, split the value into a list of integers,
each of which is at most b bits long.
The value b must be an integer > 0.
The number of elements in the returned list is:
ceil((highbit(x) + 1) / b)
If x == 0, then a list of 1 element containing 0 is returned.
If x < 0, then the two's compliment of abs(x) is returned.
Even though calc represents negative integers as positive values
with sign bit, the bits returned by this function are as if
the integer converted as if the integer was a two's compliment value.

; help resource

The following are the changes in this release:
Fixed version numbers in two cases in CHANGES that referred
to the 2.14.2.x instead of 2.14.1.x.
Rename MINGW Makefile variable (a holdover from MINGW32_NT-5.0)
to OSNAME.
Fixed FUNCPTR typedef in hist.c to fix deprecated compiler warnings.
Fixed when USE_READLINE, READLINE_LIB, READLINE_EXTRAS, and
READLINE_INCLUDE are set to empty (disable use of the GNU-readline
facility).
Fix cases of spaces before tabs in Makefile and Makefile.simple.
Fixed obsolete references to the atoz() in LIBRARY to use the
correct internal function name of str2z().
Fixed obsolete references to the atoq() in LIBRARY to use the
correct internal function name of str2q().
Document in help/unexpected that * operator has has a higher
precedence than << in calc, which differs from C. Thanks
goes to GitHub user @inguin for pointing put this difference.
Fixed obsolete references to the atoz() in LIBRARY to use the
correct internal function name of str2z().
Fixed obsolete references to the atoq() in LIBRARY to use the
