Enhancement and Bug Fix Release 2.2 The primary goal of this release is to complete the macOS challenge initiated with the 2.1 release: the introduction of the new interactive SWIFT mode. This release modified the runtime of the Interactive Swift mode, ensuring that it exclusively runs 'off' the main thread. This change includes MathLib calls, and any user functions invoked, as well as potentially long-running user expressions involving chained property operators. This release signifies the first ‘proper’ macOS app that never becomes unresponsive. For fine details of this release, refer to the in-app documentation beginning with “Release 2.2,” which includes bookmarks to related sections.

Touchup Release 2.15 (from Release 2.10) This release marks the completion of the initial journey of the ProgCalc app. It is now fully functional on iPhones, iPads, and Macs, with features extended to each device’s capabilities. For fine details of this release, refer to the in-app documentation beginning with “Release 2.15,” which includes bookmarks to related sections.

Enhancement and Bug Fix Release 2.1 This release introduces a new interactive mode called SWIFT, in addition to RPN, infiX, and infiXE, for Mac computers running ProgCalc.app as a “Designed for iPad” app. Release 2.1 supports a full macOS keyboard and provides direct command-line access to the ProgCalc Swift language. Now, you can write however complex multiple Swift statements on a single command line using a full macOS keyboard without any mouse intervention. Line editing features are provided to assist your entry. Simply press [return] to submit your entry. If there are any errors, the same editing features are available, while the app positions the cursor precisely at the location where the built-in Swift compiler encountered an issue. Additionally, you can re-edit your commit at any time until you initiate a new one. The app document, starting with “Release 2.1,” provides detailed information about the new SWIFT mode, including bookmarks to related sections. However, that’s not all. There are also numerous small enhancements and bug fixes included in this release.

Enhancement and Bug Fix Release 2.01 The iPad and macOS versions of ProgCalc keypad visual bugs have been fixed. The bug began appearing after the v2.0 update, when the infix mode control bar row was added. When using the app in rpn mode, switching from the background to the foreground, switching back to ProgCalc from another app, or triggering the iOS day/night color shift, the infix-mode only control bar row became visible, but with touch malfunctions. All visual modes (portrait, landscape, and split view modes) were affected. This issue has been resolved. ProgCalc MathLib rounding functions have been fixed after another long-undetected bug. Refer to document Section 11.10.2 for more details. This release also introduces an enhancement for rpn mode by adding a complementary control bar row for iPad and macOS keypads. Refer to Figure 10.2 in Section 10.3, or simply launch the app and switch to rpn mode. The document has been slightly modified to include Figure 10.2 and Section 11.10.2 has been amended.

Enhancement and Bug Fix Release 2.0 ProgCalc Math Library Property Operators have undergone significant improvements. Notably, previously unimplemented features, such as the absence of stride operand support in most cases, have been incorporated. Additionally, more accurate implementations have been opted in. For a comprehensive overview of all the changes introduced in this release, refer to the built-in app documentation, specifically in Section 11, titled “Release Notes,” subsection Section 11.10, “Release 2.0.”

Bug Fix Release 1.91 Several bugs related to property operator entry in infiX and infiXE interactive modes have been resolved. To test these fixes, try using the .map, .gmap, .gmapr, .bmap, .reduce, .zip, and .contains property operators in the interactive infix modes. These operators now work correctly with non-scalar types and non-scalar expression results, including operator chaining (e.g., .bmap(agm).map(sin).gmap(fixedround, 32)), without displaying confusing transient error messages. Additionally, some macOS shortcut keys have been updated or added. For detailed information about all the changes in this release, refer to the built-in app documentation, specifically in Section 11.9, “Release Notes.” All subsections have been updated. Late Bugs Detected: In infiX / infiXE interactive modes, memory registers ($m0 through $m11) are treated as scalar variables by default. If you store a tuple in a memory register and attempt to use chained property operators like '.map(.elem_access_op)' interactively (e.g., $m4.map(.y)), it will fail with: "syntax error, unexpected 'vector element access operator" However, the same operation works when compiled and run in a program: $m4.map(.y) // works in compiled programs This happens because memory registers are implicitly declared as scalars, and type-casting is not available interactively. var $m4: scalar // type-cast is not available interactively. Workaround: Now assume that you've stored a tuple value in the $m4 memory register. Define a tuple-type global variable that mirrors $m4, and avoid purging it. // type-cast is required. Refreshes value from $m4 on each execution. var m4: tuple = $m4 as tuple // purge(m4) Now, the same operation will work interactively -- use [2nd][swap|VARS] view to enter 'm4': m4.map(.y) // works — 'm4' has explicit tuple type Note that a tuple resulting from a 'vexpr' works interactively just as it does in a compiled program. For example, you can interactively create an array object, convert it to a tuple, and extract the .y field from each element to build a list of y-values: [ your_array ].map ( cis ) .map ( .y ) In general, any interactive expression requiring an explicit type cast will fail. For instance, starting with a 'vexpr' tuple and attempting '.map(.y)' will result in a syntax error in interactive mode, even though it works when compiled as type information would be available.

Enhancement and Bug Fix Release 1.9 This release introduces dynamic font sizes to accommodate various size configurations, including macOS’s dynamic window size changes. It also resolves several rare bugs and improves upon the bug reported in the previous release, version 1.8, which was labeled as “Known Bugs.” Detailed information about all changes in this release is available in the built-in app documentation, specifically in Section 11.9, “Release Notes.” Late Bugs Detected: Global variables and functions defined but not purged by the program are visible on the [2nd][swap|VARS] view (Section 2.5.3), in user tabs ([user.in.circle], [f(x)], and [abc]) after the program completes. On iOS platforms, you can delete these elements in these views by swiping left. When ProgCalc is running on Mac as an iOS application, this deletion is not working. The workaround is to write a small Swift program and manually purge these stray elements. Example: Suppose you have stray program elements like ‘var t:tuple’, ‘var q:quat’, and ‘func someFunc(a: scalar, tt:tuple) -> array’. To purge them, write this small Swift program: var v, p; // re-defined as scalars; valid (Section 4.2.4). func someFunc() { } // someFunc() is also completely redefined; also valid. purge(v, p, someFunc) This workaround will remove the stray global variables and functions.

** Revision Release 1.8 ** 1. To improve user experience, the macOS shortcut keys have been redesigned for better intuitiveness and predictability. The range of shortcut keys has also been expanded. The new shortcut assignments align with RPNscfi.app, enabling seamless use of both applications with greater familiarity. 2. Integer factorization sample programs have been updated. 3. Internal improvements. ** Documentation Changes ** Please refer to Section 11.8, “Release Notes,” in the app documentation.
