28-Sept-2007 - galculator 1.3.1 released.
This release fixes some minor bugs in build process and GUI.

05-Sept-2007 - galculator 1.3 released.
This release introduces so-called paper mode, a new galculator view intended to be more intuitive by means of "Do your calculations as you would do them on a paper". Screenshots and a short description are available. Along with this new GUI feature, various bugs all over the GUI - core interface have been fixed, with the arithmetic core stable and flawless since a handful of releases.
Download version 1.3 here.

This is a bugfix release. Thanks to all reporters! Changelog says:

  • updated translations
Download here.
06-05-2005 - libglade problems
In the past various users reported problems with libglade not able to connect its signal handlers, letting galculator to segfault. Finally, Jim came up with a solution, thanks! Solutions are described here. Code in CVS has been fixed, too.
I'll release a maintainance release soon.
04-03-2005 - x86_64 RPM build/the future
A Suse 9.2 x86_64 RPM build of galculator 1.2.4 is available now. Thanks to Vosilij for packaging!

Besides that, it's been pretty quiet on this homepage. The 1.2.4 release of galculator turned out to be pretty stable and usable. You are using galculator and you seem to be quite happy with its current state.
One big issue on the todo list is a change of the number subsystem to enable arbitrary precision arithmetic, 64 bit integers and some rounding (GMP?). Unfortunately I don't have the time these days to focus on such a big change.
Anyway, multidimensional functions and some kind of auto completition for the formula entry would be nice in the near future. Just make use of feature requests and mailing list if you have any ideas for galculator.
