- units 2.16:
* Fix missing USD currency code (update to units_cur and
definitions.units only).

* The old timegenie service has vanished. A new units_cur script
uses yahoo.com server. The new script works directly in Python 2
or Python 3 and no longer depends on unidecode.

have moved out of definitions.units into currency.units.

a library
* Thu Oct 15 2015 mpluskal@suse.com

~/.units_history, or to the file specified with --history (-H)
option.
* Fixed bug where '_' didn't give last result after conversion
to function.
* Fixed sporadic segmentation fault with --log.
* Comments allowed on interactive input with '#', most useful
with logging.
* Added configure test for rl_completion_suppress_append, which
helps compilation under MacOS.
* Comment processing happens before checking UTF-8
validity---comments are allowed to contain bogus UTF-8.
* Changed units_cur to skip bogus precious metals data from
timegenie and to skip currencies with no rate.
- Cleanups spec file with spec-cleaner
- Update usage of gpg signature
- Move info scriplet to preun

* Mon Apr 07 2014 andreas.stieger@gmx.de
- GNU Units 2.11:
* Many long options didn't work
* units_cur wouldn't print to stdout
* Sat Mar 29 2014 andreas.stieger@gmx.de
- install documentation files, including COPYING
* Thu Mar 27 2014 andreas.stieger@gmx.de
- GNU Units 2.10:
* Added '_' to represent the previous result.
* Added support for rational exponents with numerators larger
than 1 so you can do calculations like liter^2|3.
* Added logging with --log (-L) option.
* Fixed some unit definitions (R_infinity, planckmass), and added
R_K90 and K_J90 for the conventional values of the von Klitzing
and Josephson constants.
* Don't use readline unless reading from a tty.
* Display of nonlinear unit definitions shows the range over which
the unit is defined and the required dimensions of the argument.
* Unit completion with readline will now complete nonlinear units,
functions (e.g. cuberoot), prefixes, and unit list aliases. It
will no longer insert a space after the completion.
* Running "units --version" returns success.
* Combining "--version" with "--terse" gives a terse version
output.
* Combining "--version" with "--verbose" or running with "--info"
gives a detailed output of how units was compiled and where its
supporting files are found.
* A nonlinear unit can be defined equal to another nonlinear unit
using the syntax: "newfunc() oldfunc".
* Domain and range specified with nonlinear units can be open
intervals, indicated by parentheses instead of brackets.
* The "noerror" keyword on a nonlinear unit supresses error
checking with "units --check" for that unit.
* Changes to units_cur to work with timegenie changes and to
support Python 3.
The Python module unidecode is now required for units_cur.
* The method for finding supporting files has changed when units
is compiled to be relocatable.
* Fix to compile with Bison 3.0.
* Improved error messages for various cases.
* Some simple icons are included.
- licence is GPL-3.0+
- run minimal unit tests
- spec file cleaning
- note that make install fails with smp_flags
- support optional build with units_cur for updating units
(requires python-Unidecode, not in Factory)
* Mon Sep 09 2013 pgajdos@suse.com
- updated to version 2.02:
* Added support for %a and %A output formats (hexadecimal floating point), and
eliminated the restriction on the number of displayed digits when specifying
an output format with the --output-format (-o) option. Improved error
handling for formats specified with --output-format.
* Added --digits (-d) to specify the number of digits to display. Giving
'--digits max' (-dmax) will use the full available precision.
* Added support for various Unicode minus sign symbols. Units now treats the
figure dash (U+2012), the en dash (U+2013), and the minus (U+2212) as
identical to the ASCII hyphen/minus symbol (U+002D).
* The !message command in units data files has been fixed so it does not
produce output when the --quiet option is given.
* Improved error handling when unit names end with numbers without a '_'.
* Modified units_cur to work with XML format as the txt format disappeared.
* Corrected error in definition of the nat.
* Improved manual.
- employ gpg-offline
* Thu Nov 01 2012 pgajdos@suse.com
- updated to version 2.01:
* Fixed error in electronmass
* New definition for au
* Fixed DESTDIR support for installation
* Changed configure script for success with Solaris
* Small changes to manual
- removed build.patch
* Tue Aug 07 2012 pgajdos@suse.com
- updated to version 2.00:
General changes:
* Unit lists provide conversion to sums of units (e.g. feet and inches).
* Added --round (-r) and --show-factor (-S) options for use with unit lists.
* Added unit lists aliases (e.g. time, usvol).
* A python script, units_cur, can update currency data.
* Units now flushes its output so you can talk to it with a pipe.
* Units now works in UTF-8 if the system supports it.
* Added --locale (-l) option to set the locale.
* English units such as the gallon are defined in all locales, with US
definitions by default except in the en_BG locale. You can force
the desired definition (Great Britain or US) by setting the
environment variable UNITS_ENGLISH to GB or US.
* Revised and extended the documentation, with more examples.
* Added locale mapping to address Windows locale names.
* Updated and revised units database, including UTF-8 definitions and
the 2010 CODATA.
* Fixed parsing bug for "1..2" or "1.2.3". These now give an error.
* Unit names can end with a number in the form of a subscript that
starts with a '_', as in 'X_3'.
Changes for units definition files:
* Changed location and names of unit database, splitting off currency
Files are /usr/local/share/units/{definitions,currency}.units and
the personal units file is $HOME/.units instead of $HOME/units.dat.
* Personal units filename can be changed with MYUNITSFILE environment variable.
* Prefixes can be defined in any order: it is no longer necessary to
define longer ones before shorter ones.
* New definitions replace previous ones. Personal units file is read
after the system file rather than before.
* Changed syntax for function definitions. Instead of [in-unit,out-unit]
you must now write units=[in-unit,out-unit]. Use 'units -c' to find
places in your personal data files that need to be updated.
* Add optional domain and range to function definitions with syntax
domain=[min,max] and range=[min,max]. Either min or max can be
omitted to signal infinity.
* Unit list aliases can be defined with !unitlist command.
* Added !var and !varnot and !endvar to include definitions based on
environment variable settings.
* Added !set to set environment variables (if they aren't already set).
* Added !message to display a message
* Data files are in UTF-8, with !utf8 and !endutf8 commands to mark
definitions that require UTF-8 support.
* Improved error handling when reading units.dat.
* Thu Aug 26 2010 pgajdos@suse.cz

units database.
* Added support for ** as an exponent operator.
* Type 'search text' to list units that contain 'text' in their name.
* Precedence of '*' changed to match precedence of '/'.
(Multiplication by juxtaposition retains a higher precedence than
'/'.) The --oldstar option selects the old precedence and --newstar
forces the new precedence.
* Thu Mar 29 2007 schwab@suse.de

library and linked with other programs.

functions (log, ln, log2, sin, cos, tan, exp) which can have units as
arguments but they must reduce to dimensionless (e.g.
log(watts/horsepower)), supports sqrt(unit) and cuberoot(unit), higher
roots as unit^(1|4); functions can be defined in units.dat along with
their inverse, and conversion to a function by specifying it's name alone
as the "want" item; tables with linear interpolation)
