The config("triground") controls rounding for the following
trigonometric and hyperbolic functions:
sin, cos, tan, cot, sec, csc
asin, acos, atan, acot, asec, acsc
versin, coversin, vercos, covercos
aversin, acoversin, avercos, acovercos
haversin, hacoversin, havercos, hacovercos
ahaversin, hacoversin, havercos, ahacovercos
exsec, aexsec, excsc, aexcsc
crd, acrd
cas, cis
sinh, cosh, tanh, coth, sech, csch
asinh, acosh, atanh, acoth, asech, acsch
In addition to taking a complex root (such as via the power
function on a complex value), "triground" is used for:
exp, polar
For the above mentioned functions, the rounding mode used to
round the result to the nearest epsilon value is controlled by,
and defaults to:
config("triground", 24)
As with other config options, the call returns the previous mode,
without a 2nd argument, returns the current mode without changing it:
config("triground")
Improved "SEE ALSO" for the hyperbolic function help files.
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.
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.
Added config("tilde_space", boolean) to help/config, along with
a few few minor text improvements. Updated cal/regress to test
config("tilde_space").
Added config("fraction_space", boolean). The "fraction_space" controls
whether or not a space (' ') is printed before and after fractions.
By default, config("fraction_space") is false.
For example, with the default, config("fraction_space", 0):
; base(1/3),
; 1/7
1/7
With config("fraction_space", 1):
; base(1/3),
; 1/7
1 / 7
NOTE: Use of config("fraction_space", 1) can break printing and scanning
of fractional values via "%r".
NOTE: Use of config("fraction_space", 1) can break printing and scanning
of complex values via "%c".
Added config("fraction_space", boolean) to help/config, along with
a few few minor text improvements. Updated cal/regress to test
config("tilde_space").
Added config("tilde_space", boolean). The "tilde_space" controls
whether or not a space (' ') is printed after leading tilde ('~').
By default, config("tilde_space") is true, which is a change
from past behavior. For example, now:
; 1/3
~ 0.33333333333333333333
With config("tilde_space", 0):
; 1/3
~0.33333333333333333333
To disable "tilde_space", use config("tilde_space", 0) on the
command line and/or use config("tilde_space", 0),; in your ~/.calcrc.
Thanks goes to <GitHub use ljramalho> for this suggestion.
Added config("tilde_space", boolean) to help/config, along with
a few few minor text improvements. Updated cal/regress to test
config("tilde_space") and to account for the new default.
Similar to scientific mode, engineering mode also displays numbers in
base 10 exponential notation, with the difference that exponents are
always multiples of 3, to facilitate the interpretation in terms of
SI prefixes.
The mode is activated in config thru "engineering" or "eng. For base
and base2, it uses the special value 1000.
Updated the help files help/config, help/display, help/epsilon,
help/fprint, help/printf, and help/strprintf to give more
examples of how display digits and epsilon precision interact
with displaying values.
Added more information about %g in the help file help/printf.
The '\a' is now recognized in a printf format string as the
single byte audible bell character (byte 0x07 in ASCII encoding).
The following is a partial list of escape sequences recognized
in strings and in printf formats:
\a audible bell byte 0x07 in ASCII encoding
\b backspace byte 0x08 in ASCII encoding
\f form feed byte 0x0c in ASCII encoding
\n newline byte 0x0b in ASCII encoding
\r return byte 0x0a in ASCII encoding
\t tab byte 0x0d in ASCII encoding
\v vertical tab byte 0x09 in ASCII encoding
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!
