Release Digest: GNOME, September 20, 2004

gcalctool 4.4.19

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 GNOME 2.8.1 when it becomes available.

Note that gcalctool now requires the Gtk+ libraries that come
with GNOME 2.6 or later in order to build.

Changes since the last gcalctool version in the 4.4.X series
(4.4.18).

  • Fix for gcalctool menu system string problems.

See:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152742

for more details.

Thanks to Egmont Koblinger and Danilo Å egan for
finding/fixing this.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

gcalctool for GNOME 2.8.X is in the “gnome-2-8” branch. If you need
to do any string translations, then don’t forget to checkout
gcalctool with the “gnome-2-8” tag.

You can download this new version from:

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gcalctool/4.4/

[Although some of the ftp mirrors may take a little while to
sync].
