handyCalc 0.40 is released

handyCalc 0.40 is the first version for the 0.4x. It does not has much improvements, but you can see a new on screen keyboard, which saves runtime memory and more easily for you to operate. I hope you like it.

More improvements is under development and need more time to merge to the main project. And the performance will be optimized to reduce the startup time and improve the graph plot in the version 0.4x.

handyCalc 0.39 is ready for Cupcake

The keyboard issue in cupcake has been fixed in this version. Further cupcake support will come in the future version.

And the % button in the screen keypad has been removed. People always complain about 100-25% doesn’t equals 75%, while handyCalc take 25% as 0.25 (there is no data type for percentage in the core). The logic is confusing, so I do not recommend to use it. But you can still type % in your hardware keyboard to use it.

Sorry for the calculation bug in v0.38

There is a serious calculation bug in the math core of v0.38, sorry about that.
The latest version v0.38b has fixed that. Please update.
