Functions

• Add root(n; x) for nth roots, including negative values and quantities with units. For example, root(5; -32) returns -2.
• Fix factorials in user-defined functions, such as f(n) = n!.

Constants and units

• Search constants by name or unit with Ctrl+Space. Select a result with the arrow keys and insert it with Enter, Tab, or a click.
• Improve searching and keyboard selection in the Constants panel.
• Correct the units of the muon, proton, and neutron energy equivalents.
• Allow powers of grouped quantities, such as (2[m])^2.
• Correct results shown in J/m² and J/m³ when using prefixed units.

Input

• Fix undo and redo, and copy and paste.
• Fix clipped text and excess space in wrapped input with different fonts.
• Fix crashes when typing operators in long, wrapped expressions.
• Restore digit grouping while typing, following the selected number format.
• Add an option to turn off automatic input adjustments, such as operator replacements and closing brackets.
• Add optional Enter-to-accept autocomplete and Escape-to-clear behavior.
• Add an option to use a steady cursor instead of a blinking one.
• Preserve comments as written and prevent them from affecting result formatting.
• Improve recalling expressions from history and focus the editor after startup.
• Remove the empty-history hint.

Results

• Restore free copying.
• Copy a whole calculation, including all displayed result formats, either across multiple lines or as a single line.
• Add optional removal of trailing decimal zeroes.
• Simplify live previews to show just the results.
• Keep live result previews above the editor when recalling long expressions from history.
• Avoid unnecessary extra simplification lines.
• Restore the F2-F5 and F7-F10 notation shortcuts.

Sessions and settings

• Add private tabs that discard their contents when closed and are not restored on the next launch. Use Ctrl+Shift+N (Cmd+Shift+N on macOS) to open one.
• Allow switching between private and saved sessions, and optionally open a private tab at startup.
• Add Reset All Settings..., keeping sessions, history, and user definitions.
• Fix global user definitions missing from restored sessions.
• Make session renaming, cloning, closed-tab recovery, and pane controls easier to find in the menus. Cloning also copies unfinished input.
• Organize the result context menu into Copy, Remove, Split, and Session groups.
• Move Number Format... directly under Settings and simplify the result and appearance menus.
• Apply font changes across all windows and fix font selection on macOS 27 and later.
• Fix commands acting on the wrong window when used from a floating panel.

Appearance and panels

• Add separate system and SpeedCrunch theme choices for menus, panels, and the status bar.
• Add a compact Classic layout for input and results. Modern remains the default.
• Improve text contrast, menu readability, and panel button visibility.
• Match menu icons to the theme and dim disabled menu items and shortcuts.
• Tidy panel spacing, borders, and rounded corners.
• Keep side panels at full height and remember table column order.
• Preserve floating panel positions and visibility across restarts, and prevent floating panels from being grouped unexpectedly.

Keypad

• Add a compact Classic keypad appearance and 50% zoom.
• Restore Zoom in the keypad's right-click menu and fix inconsistent sizing when changing zoom levels.
• Update scientific layouts with nth-root, square, and argument-separator buttons, and group related operations together.
• Replace the obsolete lg button with log10.

Other improvements

• Reduce startup delays when restoring sessions, history, and panels.
• Make update checks more responsive and prevent them from delaying window closure.
• Add Help > App Diagnostics with a report that can be copied when asking for help. Show operating system details in About SpeedCrunch.
• Fix a crash when closing windows with certain panels open.
• Add portable macOS ZIP packages that keep settings and sessions beside the app in a SpeedCrunch-data folder.
• Set the default macOS minimum version to 14.4 on Apple Silicon.
