To celebrate, I shall be buying myself a pint (that's a UK pint, 1.2 of your US pints or 568ml).<br /><br />Thanks to everyone for your support. Please ignore the one-star "5 + 5 does not equal 12" reviews. It seems that showing OCT in the display, disabling the 8 and 9 keys and providing built-in help is not enough....<br /><br />Nick<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8452273698699265759-8069531005780787589?l=brain-overspill.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brain Overspillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15271399109080170995noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452273698699265759.post-7441105409540185522011-01-09T22:00:00.007Z2011-01-12T09:31:06.932ZWhat's new:<br /><ul><li>Reverted to old package name to fix upgrade issues.</li></ul>It seems that the custom home screens provided by HTC, Samsung etc don't like it when you change the name of the app's main activity, and leave a broken shortcut on the home screen and possibly in the app menu as well.<br />Unfortunately this means I've had to revert the name and release again.<br /><br />If you get an error such as "the linked application is no longer installed on your phone", then please uninstall RealCalc via the Market app and then download it again. If this does not fix it, please try rebooting your phone after uninstalling, then reinstall.<br /><br />Apologies to those who installed v1.4.4 and have already hit this problem, as you'll need to uninstall a second time to get v1.4.5. Anyone upgrading straight from v1.4.3 to v1.4.5 should be ok.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8452273698699265759-744110540954018552?l=brain-overspill.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brain Overspillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15271399109080170995noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452273698699265759.post-19387089330387254512011-01-09T15:00:00.001Z2011-01-12T09:31:06.935ZWhat's new:<br /><ul><li>Fixed number display formatting on Android 2.3.</li><li>Minor bug fixes.</li></ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8452273698699265759-1938708933038725451?l=brain-overspill.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brain Overspillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15271399109080170995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452273698699265759.post-55268702885622303302010-09-08T21:00:00.001+01:002011-01-12T09:31:06.938ZWhat's new:<br /><ul><li>Fixed blank keys on custom Arabic roms.</li><li>Fixed possible force-close when switching between normal and RPN modes.</li><li>Minor bug fixes.</li></ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8452273698699265759-5526870288562230330?l=brain-overspill.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brain Overspillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15271399109080170995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452273698699265759.post-79222633111456253542010-08-28T16:09:00.000+01:002010-08-28T16:09:45.223+01:00&nbsp;What's new:<br /><ul><li>Added number format option to select characters used for decimal separator and digit grouping (replaces previous digit grouping options).</li><li>Added option to swap 1/x and % keys.</li><li>Added option to keep screen on.</li><li>Fixed RPN stack push behaviour.</li><li>Fixed power/root functions for odd integer roots of negative numbers.</li><li>Bug fixes.</li></ul>I seem to have forgotten to post the v1.4.1 release, so for the record....<br /><br />What's new in v1.4.1:<br /><ul><li>High-res key legends and icons.</li><li>Moved memory and history clear functions to main menu.</li><li>Changed application label to 'RealCalc' to avoid confusion with built-in calculator.</li><li>Added comma-separated digit grouping (see Settings).</li><li>Added copy-and-paste function.

Press SHIFT-DEC to return to normal decimal operation. It is possible to get into these modes unintentionally if you do a long press on the plus, minus or divide keys. You can disable long-press support in the settings if this is a problem.<br /><br />If you have keys not working and you are definitely not in one of these modes, please email me, I cannot help if you only leave a comment on the market.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8452273698699265759-2542995418537778286?l=brain-overspill.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brain Overspillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15271399109080170995noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452273698699265759.post-4624044064931444042009-12-02T10:10:00.000Z2009-12-02T10:10:38.394ZWhat's new:<br /><ul><li>Disabled keys now grayed out in hex/oct/bin modes.</li><li>Fixed number formatting for locales which use comma for decimal point.</li><li>RPN stack no longer cleared on calculation error.</li><li>Fixed rare bug where DEL/AC keys are disabled after switching from RPN to normal mode.<br /></li></ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8452273698699265759-462404406493144404?l=brain-overspill.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brain Overspillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15271399109080170995noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452273698699265759.post-59369921948315576612009-11-20T08:45:00.000Z2009-11-20T08:45:07.067ZWhat's new:<br /><ul><li>Added RPN operation mode (can be enabled in Settings).</li><li>Added long-click support as and alternative to SHIFT key.</li><li>Fixed hours/days conversion.<br /></li></ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8452273698699265759-5936992194831557661?l=brain-overspill.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brain Overspillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15271399109080170995noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452273698699265759.post-41763411167613873382009-11-13T00:00:00.000Z2009-11-13T00:00:09.335ZWhat's new:<br /><ul><li>Unit conversions for distance, area, volume, mass, etc (new CONV function above EXP key).<br /></li><li>Full built-in help accessible from the menu.</li><li>Repeat calculation feature.</li><li>Dialog for decimal places (TAB key).</li><li>Fixed minor display rounding bug.<br /></li></ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8452273698699265759-4176341116761387338?l=brain-overspill.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Brain Overspillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15271399109080170995noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452273698699265759.post-12695792066799940912009-11-08T21:09:00.002Z2009-11-08T21:26:47.271ZWhat's new:<br /><ul><li>New settings screen.<br /></li><li>Calculation result history.
