Summary of changes to "Calc"
------- -- ------- -- ----
Emacs 24.4
* The date forms use the Gregorian calendar for all dates.
(Previously they were a combination of Julian and Gregorian
dates.) This can be configured with the customizable variable
`calc-gregorian-switch'.
* Support for ISO 8601 dates added.
Emacs 24.3
* Algebraic simplification mode is now the default.
To restrict to the limited simplifications given by the former
default simplification mode, use `m I'.
Emacs 24.1
* Support for musical notes added.
* Support for logarithmic units added.
* Calc no longer uses the tex prefix for TeX specific unit
names when using TeX or LaTeX mode.
* Added option to highlight selections using faces.
* Gave `calc-histogram' the option of using a vector to determine the bins.
* Added "O" option prefix.
* Used "O" prefix to "d r" (`calc-radix') to turn on twos-complement mode.
Emacs 23.2
* Added twos-complement display.
Emacs 23.1:
* Gave `j *' (cal-sel-mult-both-sides) an option to expand the
denominator.
* Use `calc-embedded-word-regexp' for finding words in
`calc-embedded-word' in place of delimiters.
* Remove version numbering; use Emacs version for reference.
* Added support for using registers.
* Added support for Yacas, Maxima and Giac languages.
* Added a menu.
* Added logistic non-linear curves to curve-fitting.
* Added option of plotting data points and curve when curve-fitting.
* Made unit conversions exact when possible.
* Lowered the precedence of negation.
For changes in Emacs 23.1 and later, see the main Emacs NEWS file.
