  • Fractions.
  • Gamma Function.

  • Add a few lot more unit-conversions.
  • Simplify all stack-based statistics on one pop-up dialog.
  • Add more stack-based statistics.
  • Three additional themes.
  • Options setting to keep the screen from timing-out.
  • Change behavior of % in RPN to multiply by “Y” if it is present.
  • Give each mode its own stack, memory and history.

  • Basic action bar where applicable.

V1.10 Released

CHANGELIST
  • Graphic overhaul to gorgeous 3D bitmaps!
  • New custom-tailored tablet layouts!
  • The stack dialog is now built into the tablet layout (no more pop-up).
  • ICS and Jelly Bean devices now have the “Holo” theme for options and settings menus.
  • Dialog pop-ups have been changed to a slightly Holo-inspired look.
  • Some dialogs will no longer take up the whole screen (device dependent).
  • The free version theme had to be completely redesigned for the 3d look.
  • Stack depth can now be set from 20-50 in increments of 10.
  • Primary and secondary button sizes adjusted on the portrait, phone layout.
  • All themes have been renamed.
  • Fixed some misspellings in the conversions.
  • Numerous other, minor improvements.

All screenshots have been updated.

Large update in the works…

I have another update coming in a week or so few weeks.  I’ll be upgrading the overall look and feel, including more-realistic looking 3D button skins. Pop-up dialogs will be tweaked (slightly inspired by the Android Holo theme). ICS and JellyBean devices will also get the Holo-themed options and settings menus.

Also included in this update will be a much nicer, dual-pane tablet layout for 10″ tablets. I’m not sure if 7″ tablets will have enough real estate for it but I will see.

8/9/2012 *Edit* I’m working on the last few bits of polish and testing.  I’m hoping to release V1.10 in a few days.  7″ tablets did make the cut for a dual pane horizontal layout.  I’ll post a full change-list upon release.
