   1 1.09 (20080630)
   2 =======================
   3 * Fixed bug with Conversion function: "Category" type must be found like "from" and "to" because the combobox sorts its items alphabetically.
   4 * 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.
   5 * Fixed bug when closing an expression with right parentheses.
   6
   7 1.08 (20080520)
   8 =======================
   9 * Added macro DISABLE_HTMLHELP_SUPPORT for disabling the compilation of htmlhelp support.
  10 * Added RSH operator.
  11 * It is possible to change the numeric base (hex/oct/bin/dec) during a calculation.
  12 * Conversion layout has been implemented (HTML Help documentation is fixed too).
  13 * Corrected precision underflow/overflow when working with trigonometric functions.
  14 * cbrt() function is not used if compiling into ReactOS build system.
  15 * Resources are moved into /res directory.
  16 * Added new (partial) support for other languages: bulgarian, spanish, german, dutch, polish, russian, slovak, ukraianian.
  17 * Decimal precision of number with standard layout has been limited to 16 digits because the output display is smaller here (GMP version only).
  18 * Fixed buffer overflow with function update_lcd_display().
  19 * The decimal point is now preserved when switching to temporary scientific notation.
  20 * The content of the output display is now cleared before doing a paste from clipboard.
  21 * The position of the calculator on the screen is kept when switching between various working layouts (standard/conversion/scientific).
  22
  23 1.07 (20071219)
  24 =======================
  25 * Added support for GNU multi-precision libraries. LibGMP and LibMPFR are required for compiling ReactOS Calc with big number support.
  26 * When calculating the standard deviation, the population can be 'n' or 'n-1' as the true Microsoft Calculator does.
  27 * Unified language support: just one executable for all.
  28 * Fixed type bug into CopyMemToClipboard() when compiled with WideChar support.
  29 * The code for handling the memory functions has been simplified and now it calls directly the RPN engine.
  30 * Fixed bug into statistical window, when uploading numbers with different bases.
  31 * Fixed bug into integer limitation: now if the selection changes on QWORD, DWORD, WORD or BYTE, then the result is modified immediately.
  32 * Fixed bug signaled by remi-aldo about a the precision issue.
  33 * Fixed bug into shortcuts from keyboard: modulo shortcut was missing.
  34 * Implemented coloured buttons.
  35 * ReactOS Calc has been compiled for working with x86-64 (still untested on the real hardware).
  36
  37 1.06 (20070518)
  38 =======================
  39 * The decimal separator is copied into the clipboard, but only if it has been typed by the user.
  40 * Now the [+/-] button can change the sign of any number into the output display.
  41 * Added italian translation of the help file.
  42
  43 1.05 (20070503)
  44 =======================
  45 * Fixed bug when the following input keys are pressed: [0] [.] [+/-] and another number, then the dot and the sign were lost.
  46 * The ERROR message at division by zero is displayed again.
  47 * [Exp] button won't work if the output display is zero (0e+100 is always zero).
  48 * Now [.] can start a number directly: if it is pressed when display is empty then "0." is pushed automatically.
  49
  50 1.04 (20070430)
  51 =======================
  52 * Fixed a bug when zero is the first number entered.
  53 * The change of the sign +/- doesn't work if the display is empty or zero.
  54 * Added logical operators into decimal mode (obviously, only the integer part is processed).
  55 * Fixed decimal precision to highest possible resolution.
  56 * Decimal point and thousand separator are now regional dependant.
  57 * Added memory subtraction and memory swap commands.
  58 * Added 2*PI constant (generated by "inv"+"pi").
  59 * Added Help popups for calculator functions.
  60 * Added User's manual and Help file support.
  61 * Now the PASTE menu command is disabled if the clipboard doesn't store good data.
  62 * Fixed bug with BACK button.
  63 * Fixed ":q" command from clipboard to the 'cancel' button.
  64
  65 1.03 (20070404)
  66 =======================
  67 * Added double-click check on statistic window.
  68 * Fixed focus selection when switching from statistic window with RET button.
  69 * EQUAL button will now reduce a number entered with exponential notation (if it's possible).
  70 * Version number was not updated to 1.02 in previous version.
  71
  72 1.02 (20070402)
  73 =======================
  74 * Fixed a "copy-paste" error into hyperbolic functions.
  75 * Now context menu is enabled only when child controls are clicked.
  76
  77 1.01 (20070331)
  78 =======================
  79 * Fixed english translation for "Radians" and "Gradians".
  80 * Corrected conversion between radians and gradians angles.
  81 * Added work-around for catching keys without the keyboard hook (selectable at compile time).
  82 * The version number of the programme has been moved from the resource files to ABOUT.C.
  83 * "DOT" function can be used for starting a number (integer part will be zero).
  84 * Added repeat function.
  85 * If the number is grater than maximum resolution, it will be displayed with exponential notation.
  86 * Removed mouse and keyboard focuses from displayed buttons.
  87 * Added normal and small icons.
  88
  89 1.00 (20070323)
