  29
  30 1.11 (20090404)
  31 =======================
  32 * Updated translations (thanks to the friends at ReactOS' community).

  34 * Added support for newer conversion units.
  35 * Fixed mistake into english translation (lenghts -> lengths).
  36 * Now decimal and thousand separators can be also read directly from registry (NT only, not 9x/ME).
  37 * Fixed bug when pressing an operator twice (like '1++2=' caused error).
  38 * Now unary operators and constant generators won't break RPN queue.
  39
  40 1.10 (20080813)
  41 =======================
  42 * Added Norvegian and Korean translations.
  43 * Fixed Polish and Slovak translations.
  44 * Fixed percent mode.

  46 * Fixed conversion method, now scientific notation is recognized too.
  47 * Added compilation for UNICODE executables.
  48 * Plain MINGW toolchain does not support wWinMain function, so I switched to old WinMain if it is not under ReactOS' build tree.
  49 * Detect error if UNICODE version is launched into Win9x (avoid the lock).
  50
  51 1.09 (20080630)
  52 =======================
  53 * Fixed bug with Conversion function: "Category" type must be found like "from" and "to" because the combobox sorts its items alphabetically.
  54 * Fixed bug with memory function and GNU multi-precision libraries: the memory must be initialized to zero when the calculator starts, otherwise "MP" will crash.
  55 * Fixed bug when closing an expression with right parentheses.
  56
  57 1.08 (20080520)
  58 =======================
  59 * Added macro DISABLE_HTMLHELP_SUPPORT for disabling the compilation of htmlhelp support.
  60 * Added RSH operator.
  61 * It is possible to change the numeric base (hex/oct/bin/dec) during a calculation.
  62 * Conversion layout has been implemented (HTML Help documentation is fixed too).
  63 * Corrected precision underflow/overflow when working with trigonometric functions.
  64 * cbrt() function is not used if compiling into ReactOS build system.
  65 * Resources are moved into /res directory.
  66 * Added new (partial) support for other languages: bulgarian, spanish, german, dutch, polish, russian, slovak, ukrainian.
  67 * Decimal precision of number with standard layout has been limited to 16 digits because the output display is smaller here (GMP version only).
  68 * Fixed buffer overflow with function update_lcd_display().
  69 * The decimal point is now preserved when switching to temporary scientific notation.
  70 * The content of the output display is now cleared before doing a paste from clipboard.
  71 * The position of the calculator on the screen is kept when switching between various working layouts (standard/conversion/scientific).
  72
  73 1.07 (20071219)
  74 =======================
  75 * Added support for GNU multi-precision libraries. LibGMP and LibMPFR are required for compiling ReactOS Calc with big number support.
  76 * When calculating the standard deviation, the population can be 'n' or 'n-1' as the true Microsoft Calculator does.
  77 * Unified language support: just one executable for all.
  78 * Fixed type bug into CopyMemToClipboard() when compiled with WideChar support.
  79 * The code for handling the memory functions has been simplified and now it calls directly the RPN engine.
  80 * Fixed bug into statistical window, when uploading numbers with different bases.
  81 * Fixed bug into integer limitation: now if the selection changes on QWORD, DWORD, WORD or BYTE, then the result is modified immediately.
  82 * Fixed bug signaled by remi-aldo about a the precision issue.
  83 * Fixed bug into shortcuts from keyboard: modulo shortcut was missing.
  84 * Implemented coloured buttons.
  85 * ReactOS Calc has been compiled for working with x86-64 (still untested on the real hardware).
  86
  87 1.06 (20070518)
  88 =======================
  89 * The decimal separator is copied into the clipboard, but only if it has been typed by the user.
  90 * Now the [+/-] button can change the sign of any number into the output display.
  91 * Added italian translation of the help file.
  92
  93 1.05 (20070503)
  94 =======================
  95 * Fixed bug when the following input keys are pressed: [0] [.] [+/-] and another number, then the dot and the sign were lost.
  96 * The ERROR message at division by zero is displayed again.
  97 * [Exp] button won't work if the output display is zero (0e+100 is always zero).
  98 * Now [.] can start a number directly: if it is pressed when display is empty then "0." is pushed automatically.
  99
 100 1.04 (20070430)
 101 =======================
 102 * Fixed a bug when zero is the first number entered.
 103 * The change of the sign +/- doesn't work if the display is empty or zero.

 106 * Decimal point and thousand separator are now regional dependant.
 107 * Added memory subtraction and memory swap commands.

 111 * Now the PASTE menu command is disabled if the clipboard doesn't store good data.
 112 * Fixed bug with BACK button.
 113 * Fixed ":q" command from clipboard to the 'cancel' button.
 114

 117 * Added double-click check on statistic window.
 118 * Fixed focus selection when switching from statistic window with RET button.
 119 * EQUAL button will now reduce a number entered with exponential notation (if it's possible).
 120 * Version number was not updated to 1.02 in previous version.
 121
 122 1.02 (20070402)
 123 =======================
 124 * Fixed a "copy-paste" error into hyperbolic functions.
 125 * Now context menu is enabled only when child controls are clicked.
 126
 127 1.01 (20070331)
 128 =======================
 129 * Fixed english translation for "Radians" and "Gradians".
 130 * Corrected conversion between radians and gradians angles.
 131 * Added work-around for catching keys without the keyboard hook (selectable at compile time).
 132 * The version number of the programme has been moved from the resource files to ABOUT.C.
 133 * "DOT" function can be used for starting a number (integer part will be zero).
 134 * Added repeat function.

 136 * Removed mouse and keyboard focuses from displayed buttons.
 137 * Added normal and small icons.
