gcalctool – v4.3.21

Application

gcalctool

Description

gcalctool is the default GNOME desktop calculator.

It has Basic, Financial and Scientific modes. Internally it uses
multiple precision arithmetic to produce results to a high degree
of accuracy.

This release is for the GNOME 2.5 call for tarballs.

Changes since the last version
(4.3.16).

  • Fixed bug 65806. For the “1/x”, “x^2”, “x!”, “e^x”, “10^x” and
    “y^x” labels, all occurances of “x” and “y” are now italicized. The
    “e” in “e^x” is no longer italicized.
  • Fixed bug 127316. The “fix” introduced in gcalctool v4.1.18 to
    fix Sun Bugtraq bug #1258472 against CDE dtcalc (which was also a
    problem with gcalctool) was incorrect.
  • Fixed bug 127672. The “=” key on a Swedish keyboard is on the
    upper level of a key (i.e. the Shift key needs to be down). Added
    another mask/keysym pair to the “=” entry to handle this.
  • Fixed bug 125625. gcalctool now handles “clicked” events rather
    than “pressed” ones.
  • Fixed bug 124928. Plugged several memory leaks (thanks Kjartan
    Maraas).
