Packages changed: qalculate (3.20.1 -> 4.2.0) toolbox (2.3+git20220117.bd53c7c -> 2.3+git20220603.bbeda2e) === Details === ==== qalculate ==== Version update (3.20.1 -> 4.2.0) - Update to 4.2.0: - Option to plot real and imaginary parts separately (enabled by default) - Variable spacing of x values in plot (unless step size is used) - Updated plot() function with arguments for specification of plot options (in any order after the third argument) - Polar plot style - Ask the user for the desired sinc() variant (unnormalized or normalized) - Support for binary-coded decimals (BCD) - Show names with underscore capitalized and with underscore removed (with some exceptions) - Additional information units - Units for volumetric flow rate - Tradtional numbers (e.g. dozen, score) - Show warning when log() is used with a single argument, and always show second argument of log() - Show single digit suffixes using Unicode subscript (CLI) - Make names with a single character followed by digits case-sensitive with suffix by default - Accept more than two arguments in gcd() and lcm() - Interpret a single vector argument as a list of arguments if function requires more than one argument - Fix limit of floor(), ceil(), and trunc() - Fix plotting of derivatives and integrals - Fix randpoisson() - Fix reactivation of object, after object that caused deactivation is removed - Update to 4.1.1: - Restrict use of reciprocal in unit conversion, e.g. invert in "5m/s to s/m" (= 0.2 s/m) but not in "500/lb to g" (= 1.1/g) - New mHg unit (allows use with prefixes other than milli) - Always display abbreviated unit name (symbol) with abbreviated prefix (when unit only has short name) - Minor improvements to automatic unit conversion - Fix display of (1 + f(x))/n - Save definitions on exit (only) if definitions has changed regardless of interactive mode status (qalc) - Update to 4.1: - Use non-breaking narrow space as digit separator in reasonably short numbers, and between quantity and unit - Update value of austronomical unit - Fix segfault (when compiled with -D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS) with local digit grouping when separator is empty (e.g. with ignore locale) - Fix freezes and crashes with extrememly large vectors and matrices - Fix segfault (when compiled with -D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS) in matrix multiplication - Minor bug fixes and feature improvements (see the ChangeLog for more details) - Update to 4.0: - New matrix syntax (column separated by space or comma, rows separated by semicolon, as in matlab) - Do not make any difference between a vector and a matrix with a single row, or between a scalar and matrix with a single element - Support input of functions, units, and variables with underscores omitted in names (e.g. µ0 = µ_0, FermiCoupling = fermi_coupling), with some exceptions - Option to disable "simplified" percentage calculations (e.g. interpret 100 + 20% as 100 + 0.2 instead of 100 × 120%) - Option to truncate numbers (instead of round to nearest) in result - Convert K, Hz, and 1/m to J (and derived units) using conversion factor constants (e.g. 1/(550nm) to eV ? 2.25 eV) - Allow use of M as 10^6 without unit - New ksi unit - New functions: divisors(), rate(), vertcat(), horzcat() - New plastic number (?) constant, and new "hbar" name for reduced Planck constant, and add second Unicode codepoint for µ-sign in constants - Allow zero (1st and/or 2nd argument) in comb() and perm(), and return zero if second argument (k) is greater than the first (n) - Calculate statistical functions (e.g. mode(), min(), max(), percentile()) separately for each column of matrix - Return the lowest value if there are multiple values with equal frequency in mode() - Parse text argument as expression if concatenate function name is found in text string, and fix concatenate returning date - New layout for output of result of matrices and equations (qalc) - Fix Unicode handling on platforms where char is not signed - Fix bitrot() - Fix segfault in multisolve() when initial order of equations is not optimal - Fix segfault with empty sqrt inside sqrt, e.g. sqrt(1+sqrt()) - Fix incompletely calculated nounit(), e.g. in unit conversion - Update to 3.22.0: - New functions: linearfit(), quadraticfit(), cubicfit(), ramlatency(), parallel() - Merged inv() and inverse() functions - Improved and extended parallel operator (|| is interpreted as parallel if units are used) - Allow nested subfunctions - Do not stop testing function argument values after first failure - Solve x^(x^(-a))=b - Improved simplification: Im(-x)=-Im(x), Re(-x)=-Re(x) - Handle units in plot data (remove and set as y-axis label) - Avoid precision loss on output of interval when saving approximate variable - Fix pearson() and spearman() - Fix display of incompletely solved equation with dual approximation in some cases - Fix genvector() when step size requires evaluation - Fix a%%-b (interpret %% as mod, not percent) - Fix asin(x)+bcos(x)=c - Minor bug fixes and feature improvements - [qacalc] Support "--" as end of options - [qacalc] New --defaults command line option - [qacalc] Configurable SIGINT (Ctrl+C) action (exit orderly by default) - [qacalc] Vertical space option (vspace) - [qacalc] Clear command with Ctrl+L shortcut - [qacalc] Apply same logic with separate to command, as with "to" at end of expression, when result contains no unit - [qacalc] Fix "to unicode" - Update to 3.21.0: - Ask (once) for correct interpretation of ambiguous implicit multiplication - Fix crash when using the dock menu to show the RPN dock stack for the first time - Fix link in new version dialog - Fix parenthesis highlighting when cursor is at end of expression - Fix initial value of interval display in preferences dialog - Fix saving of approximation mode - Improved simplification of radical expressions - Improved Im(), Re(), and arg() functions - Improved output of complex forms (other than the default rectangular) in exact mode - Function for drill bit size conversion - Fixes for equations with complex inverse trigonometric and hyperbolic functions with no solution - Fixes for complex x^(ax)=b ==== toolbox ==== Version update (2.3+git20220117.bd53c7c -> 2.3+git20220603.bbeda2e) - Update to version 2.3+git20220603.bbeda2e: * Allow to choose runtime and try to retain the user's groups * (Try to) Avoid problems when packages touching bind mounts are upgraded * Try to make sure that (some) foreign distro images (kind of) work as toolboxes * Do not stop a toolbox with something running inside * Exit if neither podman or docker are usable * Support passing just the name of the container to create and enter command * Fix cleanup logic and make toolbox start a little less verbose * Always pull when creating a new toolbox * Add a "more sandboxing" mode
