For a complee list of changes see the ChangeLogs (libqalculate and qalculate-gtk), or, for even more details, git logs (libqalculate and qalculate-gtk). Qalculate! has long been available for GNU/Linux and Mac OS X, but now it is finally also compatible with Microsoft Windows (although there is a fork by Cheng Sun with Windows compatibility, which has contributed code to this version). This pre-release version is likely not as stable as version 1.0.0 (although it does include some important bug fixes), but you are nevertheless invited to try it, report any issues you find and share you opinion.

Download the installer here: qalculate-1.0.99.msi. Qalculate! version 1.0 includes the following changes:

• Increased efficiency and stability. Slow calculations can in most cases now be terminated in a controlled manner and the application should no longer potentially crash when trying to calculate extremely large numbers.
• Enhanced factorization.
• Revised temperature unit handling.
• Enhanced automatic unit conversion, including a new default mode which keeps original non-SI units if no better alternative (that uses fewer units and exponents) is found.
• A long list of bug fixes and minor feature enhancements.

For a complete list of changes see the git logs for libqalculate and qalculate-gtk. Qalculate! version 0.9.12 includes fixes to unit parsing in adaptive parsing mode, build fixes and other minor bug fixes. The fork with support for Microsoft Windows has been merged (compilation on Windows has however not been tested). Qalculate! version 0.9.11 includes both some important bug fixes and a number of new features. Among other things mixed units conversion has been added and users of the graphical user interface will notice the new enhanced history view. The RPN functionality has received much needed attention and should now be more usable.

• Updated history view. The calculation log is now presented in an actual list. Buttons and functions have been added for calculation with previous expression and results (GTK+ UI)
• Enhanced RPN stack manipulation (swap, rotation and copy) and arithmetics buttons next to stack list and combine RPN options in a single menu (GTK+ UI)
• Calculation of text in spinboxes for integer function arguments (GTK+ UI)
• Option to use multiple instances by default (GTK+ UI)
• Various other minor enhancements and bug fixes...

Qalculate! version 0.9.10 includes a small number of important bug fixes. Only libqalculate has been updated.

Changes:

• Unit conversion fixes (e.g. "1/s to ms" and "1/ns to GHz")
• Fixed parsing of degrees sign (used in defult symbol for temperature units)

Qalculate! version 0.9.9 is a minor release with some important bug fixes, as well as a few new features.

Changes:

• libqalculate will no longer cause segmentation faults when using a locale unsupported by the users system
• Parsing of "today" fixed and "tomorrow" and "yesterday" added
• Qalculate! now compiles, without errors and warning, using clang
• Only a single instance of the GUI will run by default (use command line switch '-n' for old behaviour)
• New commands/options in qalc which list available variables, functions and units
• New command in qalc for deletion of variables

After almost a decade of very little development, the project has been revived and during the last two months many improvements have been made, until it is now time to release a new version. Qalculate! version 0.9.8 includes many bug fixes, but due to limited testing some new bugs have probably been introduced. Any external applications using libqalculate need to be recompiled to function properly with the new version.

Changes:

• Lots of bug fixes and minor improvements
• Three different parsing modes can be chosen from (providing mainly different handling of implicit multiplication). The default 'adaptive' mode has been enhanced.
• By default prefixes will not be added to for example imperial units.
• Changed handling of degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit. Conversion will take place already during parsing.
• When converting to unit without prefix, no prefix will be added to the result unless the unit expression is prepended with '?' ('0' works in the opposite direction).
• Option to ignore commas in numbers (for use as thousands separator).
• Possibility to abort slow number printing without using crash prone thread cancellation (use Calculator::startPrintControl() and related functions).
• New function: fibonacci (Qalculate! can now tell you that the millionth fibonacci number is approximately 1,953282129 * 10^208987, although for obvious reasons the exact number cannot be displayed).
• New units: Hartree, Rydberg, Dalton (same as u).
• Physical constant have been updated with the CODATA values from 2014.
• Currencies have been updated to reflect the available data from ECB.
• Use ~/.local and ~/.conf to store configuration and definitions
• The GTK+ UI has been ported to GTK+ 3 and has been polished in the process.
• The convert dialog has been transformed into a tab page in the main window, with auto-selection of unit category and continuous conversion. (GTK+ UI)
• Less obtrusive display of errors and warnings. They are now shown as tooltips for an icon next to the expression entry. (GTK+ UI)
• Spinners show calculation/display progress and an icon in the expression entry halts the process, instead of a message dialog. (GTK+ UI)
• A tooltip for the result display will show the result in text format less open to interpretation. (GTK+ UI)
• Better resizing of main windows. Tabs will be resized instead of result display and keypad view will remember size independently of the history view. (GTK+ UI)
• 'to' can now not only be used for conversion to unit expressions. "to bin", "to oct", "to hex" and "to bases" changes number base displayed, "to factors" factorizes, "to fraction" displays as fraction, and "to base" and "to optimal" auto-converts units. (CLI and GTK+ UI)
• The KDE UI has been abandoned for now and is not included in this release.

The graphical user interface has been ported to GTK+ 3 (unfortunately the KDE version has been abandoned for now) and lots of bugs have been fixed. Even a few new features have been introduced in the process. Only few more fixes and a lot more testing are needed before I will release a shiny new version of Qalculate.
After a long time without updates, a new version of Qalculate! is available for download. This is a bug fix and build update release. Qalculate! should now compile and work on most modern systems.

The gtk+ version of Qalculate! was updated to handle new behaviour in pango >= 1.10.0. In some cases the big (bloated) Qalculate! application is not the most efficient and user friendly interface. Why should you, for example, need to load and learn to use the full application just to convert a simple binary number to a decimal, or to see what the price of a foreign product is in your national currency with the current exchange rates. Therefore, I am now releasing three small utilities: Qalculate! Bases, Qalculate! Currency, and Qalculate! Units. The full libqalculate capabilities is of course available in these applications (arbitrary precision, expression evaluation, etc.), but in graphical user interfaces more fine-tuned for the specific purposes. The screenshots should be self-explanatory. A new full release with mostly bug fixes.

Changelog:

• Use gnomevfs instead of wget if available
• Allow user to specify wget options
• Add -export-dynamic to LDFLAGS to fix libglade without libgnome
• Update currencies
• Close gnuplot and disable save button when no series defined (GTK+)
• Fix round halfway numbers to even menu item (KDE)
• Also process operators entered with keypad (KDE)
• System tray icon and close to system tray option (of by default, KDE)
• Do not create qalculate symlink to qalc (confusing when installing GUI in other location)

This is a bug fix release of libqalculate.

Changelog:

• Fix (1/2)^n < 0.5 in equalities (bug #1265104)
• Fix transformation of unicode signs in expressions with quotes
• Fix conversion of 0 ºC to ºF
• New units: mph and mpg

The purpose if this release is to check and lower the version numbers of required libraries. Some additional enhancements did however sneak in... qalculate-gtk has not been updated but needs to be recompiled if libqalculate is updated.

Changelog:

• Remove requirement glib-2.0 >= 2.4 and require libxml2 >= 2.3.8
• Do not use unicode prefix names for long names
• Add even(), odd() and shift() functions and operators "<<" and ">>"
• Compile with kdelibs and Qt >= 3.1 (KDE)
• Add glib-2.0 and libxml-2.0 to PKG_CHECK_MODULES (KDE)
• Display prefix in object info (KDE)

• Use KIO instead of wget for fetching exchange rates (KDE)
• Close gnuplot and disable save button when no series defined (KDE)

This release includes several major bug fixes and new features in the KDE interface. The new version also adds support for bitwise operators (~, &, |). This means that '&&' or 'AND', and '||' or 'OR' must be used for logical operations.

Changelog:

• Bitwise operators
• XOR function
• Update currencies (more added)
• Do not crash when saving data sets
• Put buttons on the right (KDE)

• and more...

This release includes a completely new graphical user interface using KDE with all features of the old GTK+ GUI. It features a redesigned main window, with new features such as a history view (instead of in its own window), selectable result and tooltips for variables, functions and units in the result. Note that this does NOT mean that the old interface will be abandoned. The Qalculate! package has been split in three: liqalculate, qalculate-gtk and qalculate-kde.

Changelog:

• New KDE GUI
• Allow use of 'e' as well as 'E': 5e2 = 5E2 = 500
• Update solve2()

• Try with assumptions set to unknown in solve function if not successful
• Be more picky in comparisons with units
• Fix comparison of unit with unknown
• Fix 0.5!

This release includes some structural changes, a text-based interface, some major speed-ups and a number of bug fixes. Libqalculate is now installed as a shared library and in addition to the now optional gtk+ GUI, there is now a text-based/command line interface with an executable named qalc and access to the full functionality of Qalculate!.

Changelog:

A new exciting release of Qalculate! is ready with a lot of bug fixes and some interesting new features, including a periodic table, lots of physical constants, and new more flexible internal systems and user options for precision and object names (now case-insensitive).

Changelog:

• Periodic Table and functions to retrieve element data
• Non-abbreviated names are now case-insensitive

The element data is rather limited at moment and I'm not exactly a chemist, so if someone is willing to step forward and fill in the missing properties I would very much appreciate it. I could also use some more suggestions on functions that you think should be included, how the user interface can become more user-friendly, and any new features that would be useful. Qalculate! is now available in Gentoo.

If you downloaded version 0.6 yesterday, you should try again today. This release features completely rewritten math structures, including how expressions are represented, simplified and calculated internally. This means that all known bugs and mathematical errors have been fixed, and hopefully results in much improved reliability. As almost no code was left untouched, a bunch of new bugs should however be expected.

User visible changes include

• Correct calculations :-)
• Selectable assumptions and definition of separate unknown variables
• Some infinity support
• Some new and changed variables and functions (some removed)
• New result drawing routines
• Exact mode -> "Always Exact", "Try Exact" and "Approximate" approximation choices
• Fixed plotting
• Multiplication sign selection
• New boolean entry
• Do not create a new thread (and stack space) for every calculation
• ...

Relatively long time has gone by since the last release, but this does not mean that development has stalled. I am currently rewriting the core math code, including how expressions are represented, simplified and calculated internally.

The rewrite will take some time, but will hopefully result in much improved reliability. Some functionality will be lost in the process and some will be added, such as assumptions (although the current version makes some inconsistent on its own) and display of the actual expression calculated, but most user-visible features will remain unchanged. Also, the API will be closer to being ready for a separate library release.

I seriously considered fully moving to Giac, but found that it was still lacking the stability needed for a desktop application and I also felt that I was moving too far a way from the main purpose of Qalculate!, which is to be a user-friendly and efficient tool for a wide array of everyday and simple scientific calculations. Those who need a full CAS will probably be more efficient with the tools provided with Giac. This version includes some important bug fixes (mostly related to trigonometric functions and multiple roots) and a new solve function.

Changelog:

• Fix multiple real roots as far as possible
• Fix polynomial division (sin() / tan() was broken)
• Fix trigonometric function units
• Equation solver independent of Giac and isolation of x in comparisons
• Fix comparison of approximate values
• Elasticity and extremum functions
• Do not display any extra trailing zeros
• Fix invocation of newly created function
• Minimal integrate function without Giac
• Nicer complex number display
• Fix precision dialog
• Additional minor bug fixes

The mode for calculation of multiple roots is seriously broken. Make sure that you disable it! This version includes a relatively large number of feature enhancements and fixes. The user interface has been partly redesigned (see screenshots) and does now have convenient completion for expressions. Note that gtk+-2.4 is recommended for this release, as it is needed for some of the new features.

Changelog:

• Redesigned GUI with menubar, history window, etc.
• Full completion of variables, functions and units in the expression entry
• Context-sensitive popup menu for the result
• Customizable expression entry font.

• Actions for automatic unit conversion: convert to best unit and convert to base units
• Allow use of [] for creation of matrices and vectors
• Polynomial division
• Imperial and U.S. capacity units
• New functions: sum (old sum renamed to total), product, area, code, char, cis, derangements, sec, re, im, time, week, weekday, year, month, day, asec, sech, asech, csc, acsc, csch, acsch, cot, acot, coth, acoth

Changelog:

• Replace strptime
• Fix parsing of text/date arguments
• Fix gtk warnings on start-up
• Use gtk's new file dialog

This release adds complex numbers and optional support for Giac, a computer algebra system. Even though some bug fixes have been made, this version is considered less stable than the previous. Most changes dates back to early November before a long break and I'm still waiting for the time and motivation to do the necessary rewrite of the core math structures.

Changelog:

• Complex numbers
