 * Fixed several bugs in transcendental functions with complex arguments.

 * Fixed a bug in which `a s' simplified "x / .5" to ".5 x".

 * Fixed numerous other bugs in various parts of Calc.

 * Completed the "Hooks" section of the "Internals" chapter of the manual.


Version 1.04:

 * Included a copy of revision history (from README) in calc.el.

 * Added the "calc-split" feature to split calc-ext.el into smaller bits.

 * Changed calc-unpack to unpack floats and fractions, too.

 * Added "mant", "xpon", and "scf" functions for decomposing floats.

 * Fixed a bug in the "y" command with positive prefix arguments.

 * Rearranged binary shift/rotate command keys to be a bit more convenient.

 * Fixed a bug in which simplifying "(0/0) * 2" crashed with a Lisp error.

 * Made `H F' [ffloor] and friends faster for very large arguments.

 * Made calc-define-del more robust.

 * Handled pasting of data into the Calculator using the mouse under X.

 * Made overlay-arrow variables buffer-local to avoid interference.

 * Fixed a problem in which Calc Trail buffer got stuck after a C-x C-w.


Version 1.03:

 * Changed math-choose to compute n-choose-m faster when m is large.

 * Fixed some problems with TeX mode.

 * Fixed a bug that prevented `b s' from working without a prefix argument.

 * Added "calc-eval" function.

 * Improved calc-grab-region.


Version 1.02:

 * Fixed a bug in Tutorial: telephone pole height/distance were switched!

 * Fixed a few other things in the manual.

 * Added "full-calc" command.

 * Added "calc-insert-variables" (`Z I') command.

 * Quick Calc now works even if you are already in the minibuffer.

 * Fixed a bug in math-mul-bignum-digit which affected math-and, etc.

 * Definition of "Hectares" was wrong in units table.

 * Fixed a bug in calc-execute-kbd-macro concerning undo and refresh.

 * Bound "calc-undo" to `C-x u' as well as `C-_' and `U'.

Version 1.01:

 * Added a tutorial section to the manual.

 * Next and Prev for node Strings in the manual were reversed; fixed.

 * Changed "'bignum" in calc-isqrt-bignum-iter to "'bigpos".

 * Fixed a bug that prevented "$" from working during algebraic entry.

 * Fixed a bug caused by an X (last-X) command following a K (macro) cmd.

 * Fixed a bug in which K command incorrectly formatted stack in Big mode.

 * Added space between unary operators and non-flat compositions.
   (Otherwise, "-(a/b)" in Big mode blended the minus sign into the rule!)

 * Fixed formatting of (-1)^n in Big mode.

 * Fixed some problems relating to "not" operator in Pascal language mode.

 * Fixed several bugs relating to V M ' and V M $ sequences.

 * Fixed matrix-vector multiplication to produce a vector.

 * Introduced Z ` ... Z ' commands; renamed old Z ' to Z #.

 * Fixed various other bugs.

 * Added calc-settings-file variable suggested by C. Witty.


Version 1.00:

 * First official release of Calc.

 * If you used the Beta test version (0.01), you will find that this
   version of Calc is over 50% larger than the original release.
   General areas of improvement include much better algebra features;
   operations on units; language modes; simplification modes; interval
   arithmetic; vector mapping and reduction.  Other new commands include
   calc-fraction and calc-grab-region.  The program has been split into
   two parts for faster loading, and the manual is more complete.
