Re: [q-lang-users] ANN: QCalc

[Albert G. <Dr....@t-...>]

RC8 is out now. This candidate is now feature-complete and is slated to
become the official 1.0 version soon.

RC8 has the following new features:

- Shift-F3 now opens a multiline cell editor. Handy for complicated
formulas.

- The new task window element allows you to render graphics and
animations inside a table cell. I also added a convenience function to
plot diagrams from spreadsheet data using gnuplot
(http://www.gnuplot.info/).

Please refer to the QCalc manual for details. In particular, the new
gnuplot interface is described here:

http://q-lang.sourceforge.net/qcalc/qcalc.html#gnuplot

And here's the link where you can download the sources again:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=96881&package_id=251927

Note that to make the gnuplot interface work, you'll need the very
latest cvs version of gnuplot, available from
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=2055. For your convenience, I've
also made rpms for this version available, you can find these as
gnuplot-4.3-1*.rpm here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=96881&package_id=106009

Also, to make the mplayer.qcalc example work, you'll need the very
latest cvs version of the Q interpreter which fixes a bug in the
interpreter's atfork handler. I've also uploaded new rpms as
q-7.8-7*.rpm which have been built from this version; you can find these
here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=96881&package_id=103965

Cheers,
Albert
