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
The following are the changes in this release:
For historical purposes, in lucas.cal, gen_v1(1, n) always returns 4.
Fixed some compiler warnings, thanks to a report by Mike
<michael dot d dot ince at gmail dot com>.
Added work around for a gcc warning bug, thanks to a report by Mike
<michael dot d dot ince at gmail dot com>.
Fixed errors in various help files such as:
mat randbit seed srandom types
Removed the MAXSTRING symbol because it was no longer used by calc.
Increased HIST_SIZE (depth of the history stack) from 10k to 32k.
Increased TTYSIZE (reallocation size for terminal buffers) from 100 to 8191.
Increased MAXDEPTH (maximum depth of input stack) from 10 to 255.
Increased interactive input buffer size from 1024 to 256k. This has the
effect of increasing the maximum length of an input line from a tty.
This helps with an interactive bug that was reported by Ruslan Kabatsayev
(b7 dot 10110111 at gmail dot com).
The calc man page indicates that -d also disables the printing of the
leading tilde.
Added information to "help command" about how to silence messages
while reading calc resource files.
Fixed an error message buffer overflow thanks to a report by
Frank Peters <nlp at northernlightsphoto dot biz>.
Replaced all use of the C funcion sprintf() with snprintf().
Replaced all use of the C funcion vsprintf() with vsnprintf().
Replaced all DONT_HAVE_VSPRINTF with DONT_HAVE_VSNPRINTF.
Replaced all Makefile var ${HAVE_VSPRINTF} with ${HAVE_VSNPRINTF}.

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.
We part of our experimenting with GitHub, we reset the history
of this repository.
Anyone who was tracking the calc "pre-release" on GitHub prior
to version 2.12.6.0 should do a:
git reset --hard origin/master
git cleanup -f
Or you may just want to start over:
rm -rf calc
git clone https://github.com/lcn2/calc.git
Sorry about that. The previous GitHub repository was an useful
experiment. Based on what we learned, we decided to rebuild it.
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!
