Release 0.8.6 "Daniel" - Bug fixes and optimizations
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
This release is mostly intended to fix a number of issues reported by
users or discovered during testing.

Features
--------

* Fancy digits are now accepted for decimal and based numbers.
  This means that `1.⁳³²` is now a valid input to `Str→`, ensuring
  that we can parse the output of `→Str` if it uses fancy characters,
  or that copy-paste works from the stack to the editor.
* Accept array arguments for `min` and `max`, applied element-wise in
  the same way as addition for example.
* Add `CompatibleBasedNumbers` setting to render `16#AB` as `#ABh`
  like HP calculators.
* Improve protection against mismatched QSPI and PGM. Only binaries
  issued from the same build are now accepted. This is mostly of
  interest to developers, although releases that are very close to one
  another, like v0.8.4 and v0.8.5 were, can require this protection.
* On DM32, numbers with an explicit numerical base keep that base if
  it's 16, 10, 8 or 2. For example, `10#200` and `#200₁₀` will display in
  base 10 irrespective of the `Base` setting, just like `#200d`.
* Add `ϵ` character (Greek Lunate epsilon), which appears in some
  equations.
* Add text alignment options to `DrawText`, making it possible to
  align text horizontally or vertically. See examples at end of the
  `Texts` program in `Demo.48s`
* Add `UnitsSIPrefixCycle` command to set the variable with the same
  name to customize SI prefixes cycling for units on the command-line.
  After `"KMG" UnitsSIPrefixCycle`, typing the `Cycle` key (__×10ⁿ_ or
  _EEX_) with `1_B` will cycle through `1_KB`, `1_MB`, `1_GB` and back
  to `1_B`.
* Accept `u` as an alternative SI prefix for "micro-", e.g. `1_us`.
  This is intended to allow entering of the "micro" prefix using
  transient alpha mode.
* Add help lookup for solver variables. When in the `SolverMenu`,
  holding the function key for a vairable brings up the help for the
  corresponding variable in the equations library.
* Add `SiDensity` (`SIDENS` on HP) and `Fanning` functions to the
  library. These functions are used by some equations in the library.
* Add `invert` alias for 1/x operation (like `negate` for `neg`).

Bug fixes
---------

* Fix unit scale cycling for multi-character units
* Fix incorrect computation of output matrix size for non-square
  matrices. `[[1 2]][[3 4]] +` now works.
* Negation on based numbers and polynomials now works.
* Conversion of decimal values smaller than 1.0 to integer no longer
  crashes (this could only happen with the `RanM` command)
* Render `-` for first term of polynonials if negative
* On DM42, update the bases menu when cycling based numbers
* Fix parameter mixup for call to `program::run`. In theory, this
  could lead to programs not evaluating correctly if `NoLastArguments`
  setting was set, although another bug apparently made this very
  unlikely to be observed.
* Update index footer to point to `https://48calc.org` instead of
  obsolete `https://github.io` location.
* Updating a `for` loop variable from within the loop now behaves like
  on HP calculators, and can be used to control loop exit.
* Do not draw activity indicator in graphical mode. This was a
  regression introduced with `BusyIndicatorRefresh`.
* Mark `xroot` command as implemented in the `PowersMenu`
* Use consistent case for variable `x` in the equations library
* Do not error out comparing text values
* doc: Fix typo `latter` -> `letter`

Improvements
------------

* Add auto-cleaner optimizations for matrix and vector operations.
  This reduces the memory usage and frequency of garbage collections.
* Reduce `random` bias for integer input, e.g. `-10 10 random` no
  longer has a +0.5 bias on average.
* doc: Several updates and fixes to the documentation, notably with
  respect to the description of the current status, and instructions
  for Windows developers.
* Add `→Prg` alias for `→Program`
* Add the simulator minimum window size
* Add `rmdir` as an alias for `pgdir`. "This is Unix".
* Add `L` (uppercase) spelling for "liter" unit
* doc: Avoid overlapping aliases in `Rcl/` help text by adding some
  aditional text to the `Rcl*` help.
* doc: Add documentation for `SolverMenuSolve` and `SolverMenuRecall`
* doc: Fix documentation for `AssignKey`
* doc: Add documentation for comparisons
* doc: Remove duplicate `dup`
* doc: Update documentation about `add`
* doc: Refer to `CharactersMenu` and `Catalog` in alpha overview
* doc: Update keyboard sequences typography
* doc: Remove false claim that interactive stack is not implemented
* doc: Update implemented / unimplemented list
