CCCalc 2.1 - Changelog

What's new in CCCalc 2.1:

December 14th, 2010

Printing feature:
· Now you may print the calculation tape

Minimize window instead of program termination:
· The new option sets the CCCalc to not terminate when its window is closed, like, for instance, the Skype application does.

Improvement in expression input:
· When CCCalc inserts a new number while you entering an expression, it now uses a copy of the previous number instead of zero, which is marked as a current selection. This makes no changes to a key sequence needed to enter an expression in general, but gives some small conveniences. For example, to calculate any number squared you need to enter it once and press "*".

Special button for change sign operation:
· The new button of the virtual keypad which changes sign of the current number makes this operation more obvious and convenient.

What's new in CCCalc 2.0:

June 15th, 2010

Multiple calculation history:

There are three new commands in menu "File":
· Open
· Sav As
· Close
· They works almost the same with these commands in, say, Microsoft Word with a bit of difference. CCCalc always works with some calculation history which is stored automatically on your hard drive without any action from you side.

· Now you may save the history to the file of you choice with the menu command "Save As". After that CCCalc switches to this file instead of the previous one: it will open it automatically on start and save everything there. The file name is displayed in the title of CCCalc's window. To switch CCCalc to another file you need to open it with command "Open" or save this calculation history to another file.

· The command "Close" switches CCCalc to the "unnamed" calculation history which is stored in file "cccalc.txt" in "/Application Data" folder.

· Note that there is no "Create" command. If you need to create an empty history, simply save the current one to the file of your choice and then clear it pressing F8.

Update notifications:

· Now CCCalc will notify you when a new version or update is published. When it happens you will see the icon like this near the Excelsior logo on the left-bottom corner of the page.

· When you see it, simply hover the mouse pointer there and you'll know what to do. Note that there is no need to do it immediately, choose the moment when it is convenient for you.

German localization:

· Thanks to Lesmo16, who volunteered in the translation and respective testing, the program will "speak German" if it is the language of your computer.

What's new in CCCalc 1.9:

October 27th, 2009

· Virtual keypad added
· It contains buttons for almost all action available in CCCalc. The keypad provided for people who prefer using mouse instead of keyboard. It also should help new users to know what is possible here and what is not.

· Personal calculation history
· Calculation history now is saved in personal user profile instead of Program Files. It solves the problem with lack of write permissions on Windows Vista and also provides personal calculation history for each user on the computer.

· A number of usage convenience improvements
· For instance, now when you insert square root sign, CCCalc keeps the caret not moving and so you need not to move it explicitly to add operation after this number.

· Internals refactored
· It greatly simplifies future UI improvements, and the first one of this kind is the virtual keypad.
