Release 0.8.1 "Sale" - Multi-equation solver

[c3d]

Features

• Multiple-equation solver (HP's MES), solves for variables one at a time
• The | operator (aka where) applies to library equations
• The | operator respects variables with units in expressions
• simulator: Add support for copy and paste (to/from simulator)
• Add support for cylindrical and spherical 2D and 3D vectors
• Positional graphic combination operations (e.g. GraphicRatio)
• Switch to Greek or Cyrillic keyboard maps based on character menu
• Add EDIT menu commands to transient alpha (e.g. ▶F3 is Word→)
• Index the help file for performance (about 5x faster on DM42)
• Accept verbatim code and RPL code snippets in the help file
• Parse and show help topics taking all aliases into account
• Convert lists and equations to RPL programs with →Program

Bug fixes

• Show tagged values for vectors and matrices
• Update the target global variable after running root
• Show all variables in the SolvingMenu (with a settings to control it)
• Unit-related commands accept tagged objects and expression-enclosed units
• Add angular units (e.g. radians) in angular equations
• Correct unit for V in Cantilever Shear (was n instead of N)
• Purge now correctly restores UI patterns settings
• Add missing font parameter to →Grob (HP calculator compatibility)
• Include equations and xlibs to list of symbolic objects
• Fix precision loss for atan, acos and asin for some values
• Add angles for atan2 when using hardware-accelerated floating-point
• Remove spaces and separators in the names of library equations
• keyboard: Replace ASN with ->NUM
• Preserve trailing decimal separator in FIX mode with NoTrailingDecimal
• Fix backspace and delete operation around number separators
• Fix the definition of cosh for complex values (was computing sinh)
• Accept uppercase and lowercase .48s when saving/restoring state
• Accept both Ω or Ω as spellings for Ohm (different Unicode)
• Only update the state file when disk operations are successful

Improvements

• Add arcsin, arccos and arctan spellings
• solver: Reorganize solver code
• documentation: Udpate equation documentation with examples
• Save UI patterns as hexadecimal numbers (also in Modes command)
• Use only tabs in library.csv
• Keep cursor at end of buffer when moving through history with word right
• Clear selection when BSP is used with a non-empty selection
• Ensure debug_printf always refreshes the screen
• Switch to binary search for command parsing (~100x faster)
• Rename some statistical functions for consistency
• Fix the list of authors in the online help
• doc: Update performance data
