Added the following new trigonometric functions:
exsec(x [,eps]) exterior trigonometric secant
aexsec(x [,eps]) inverse exterior trigonometric secant
excsc(x [,eps]) exterior trigonometric cosecant
aexcsc(x [,eps]) inverse exterior trigonometric cosecant
Added to test 95dd and test9500.trigeq.cal to the calc regression test
suite to perform extensive test of trigonometric functions.
Added to test 34dd, some if the missing inverse trigonometric tests.
The trigonometric file files have had several bug fixed.
The EXAMPLE sections of trigonometric file have
been made consistent.
Added these new help files in anticipation of
the code for these new (i.e., to be written) builtin functions:
hacovercos hacoversin havercos haversin
ahacovercos ahacoversin ahavercos ahaversin
Added complex multiple approximation function to commath.c so
that users of libcalc may directly round complex number to
nearest multiple of a given real number:
E_FUNC COMPLEX *cmappr(COMPLEX *c, NUMBER *e, long rnd, bool cfree);
For example:
COMPLEX *c; /* complex number to round to nearest epsilon */
NUMBER *eps; /* epsilon rounding precision */
COMPLEX *res; /* c rounded to nearest epsilon */
long rnd = 24L; /* a common rounding mode */
bool ok_to_free; /* true ==> free c, false ==> do not free c */
...
res = cmappr(c, eps, ok_to_free);
The complex trigonometric functions tan, cot, sec, csc were implemented
in func.c as calls to complex sin and complex cos. We added the
direct calls to comfunc.c so that users of libcalc may
call them directly:
E_FUNC COMPLEX *c_tan(COMPLEX *c, NUMBER *eps);
E_FUNC COMPLEX *c_cot(COMPLEX *c, NUMBER *eps);
E_FUNC COMPLEX *c_sec(COMPLEX *c, NUMBER *eps);
E_FUNC COMPLEX *c_cot(COMPLEX *c, NUMBER *eps);
Improved help files for sin, cos, tan, cot, sec, csc. In case
of tan, cot, sec, csc corrected help file was corrected to
indicate that complex arguments are allowed. This was a help
file oversight from long ago when those trigonometric functions
Expanded the calc regression test suite test 34dd to test various
real and complex values for sin, cos, tan, cot, sec, csc.
Improved trig help files.
Added new vercos(x, [,eps]) for versed cosine and covercos(x, [,eps])
for inverse versed cosine.
Added new avercos(x, [,eps]) for inverse versed cosine and acovercos(x, [,eps])
for inverse coversed cosine.
Added new aversin(x, [,eps]) for inverse versed sine and acoversin(x, [,eps])
for inverse coversed sine.
Improved trig function help files to reference use of complex arguments
that while supported were not documented.
Removed old Makefile testing rules for make dbx and make gdb.
Improved "make run" to execute calccalc using shared libraries
from the local directory, and with reading of the startup scripts
disabled.
Changed "make prep" to perform various tests that are used to
help verify that calc is ready for a release.
Added Makefile testing rule testfuncsort to check for the sort
of the builtin function list. Changed the order that builtin
functions are listed by "show builtin" and the help/builtin to
match the sorting of "LANG=C LC_ALL=C sort -d -u".
Add new logn(x, n [,eps]) builtin to compute logarithms to base n.
Verify that eps arguments (error tolerance arguments that override
the default epsilon value) to builtin functions have proper values.
Previously the eps argument had little to no value checks for
many builtin functions.
Document in help files for builtin functions that take eps arguments,
the LIMIT range for such eps values.
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!
