Qalculate!
- the ultimate desktop calculator
Qalculate! is a multi-purpose cross-platform desktop calculator. It is simple to use but provides power and versatility normally reserved for complicated math packages, as well as useful tools for everyday needs (such as currency conversion and percent calculation). Features include a large library of customizable functions, unit calculations and conversion, physical constants, symbolic calculations (including integrals and equations), arbitrary precision, uncertainty propagation, interval arithmetic, plotting, and a user-friendly interface (GTK, Qt, and CLI).
Qalculate! is free software, licensed under the GNU Public License v2 (or later).

Qalculate! version 5.5 released
Changes:
- a(i) and a[i] syntax (the latter with support for functions) for element in vector
- Set ans variable to solution(s) of equation (as if solve() function were used)
- New function: factor()
- Use hours or minutes as default unit for conversion to time unit of expression with time format but no units (e.g. "0:00:12 to s")
- Always use four digits for year in date (e.g. "0064-07-18" instead of "64-07-18"), and support input of date using DD-MM-YYYY format
- Fix solving of x^4-4x^3+10x^2-12x+1=0, and similar, in exact mode
- Fix dual/auto approximation when unable to find exact solution to equation
- Fix rounding in 1/# conversion to integer (e.g. "1/2 to 0.99")
- Fix unability to find approximate solutions to some high degree equations (e.g. "x⁴ − 4x³ + 10x² − 12x = −1")
- Fix automatic variable detection in select()
- Fix terminal columns and rows when piping/redirecting input (CLI)
- Fix ans variables with calculate as you type activated (CLI)
- Fix compilation without readline (CLI)
- Option to disable cursor blinking (Gtk, Qt)
- Place approximate value before exact in calculate as you type result (Qt)
- Fix display of units automatically appended to expression in parse status (Qt)
- Fix reading of expressions from file (Qt)
- Minor bug fixes and feature enhancements
