Update Progress

The new update is in beta status. All features are in place. Time to test.

All mathematical changes are in place.  I still have some work to do on the user-interface.  Ideally, I am hoping to release the update by the end of January.

I just wanted to check-in and let everyone know progress is going very well for the new-features list (below).  I’ve added a few things to the list even. There is still a lot to do though and I’ll give an ETA when I’m closer to being finished.

 

Next Update

I have an ambitious list of new features in mind for the next update:

  • New Icons.
  • Successive EQUALS presses will repeat the last calculation.
  • Expression-based history.
  • Copy / Paste.
  • Fractions.
  • Gamma Function.
  • Delta Percentage.
  • Degrees Minutes Seconds.
  • Random Number Generator.
  • Add a few lot more unit-conversions.
  • Simplify all stack-based statistics on one pop-up dialog.
  • Add more stack-based statistics.
