-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Jan 18 08:14:30 UTC 2026 - Andreas Stieger <andreas.stieger@gmx.de>
- units 2.25:
* Changed units_cur to ignore invalid CPI data
* Add support for multivariate functions
* Because comma is used for multivariate functions, the comma is
no longer allowed in unit names. Four units whose names
contained the comma were renamed with an underscore replacing
the comma. Affected units: lambda_C,p; lambda_C,n; lambda_C,mu;
and lambda_C,tau.
* Extended (hyperbolic) trigonometric functions to include secant,
csc cot, sech, coth, csch and their inverses.
* Added some multvariate units like windchill, heatindex, bmi,
hypot
* Added "search _" to list the run-time variables (which start
with _)
* Added --list-units (noniteractive) and "search ." (interactive)
to list all unit definitions.

- units 2.16:
* Fix missing USD currency code (update to units_cur and
definitions.units only).
- includes changes from 2.15:
* The old timegenie service has vanished. A new units_cur script

a library
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Oct 15 14:28:28 UTC 2015 - mpluskal@suse.com
- Update to 2.12
* Updated and revised units database, with constants now based
on 2014 CODATA.

~/.units_history, or to the file specified with --history (-H)
option.
* Fixed bug where '_' didn't give last result after conversion
to function.
* Fixed sporadic segmentation fault with --log.
* Comments allowed on interactive input with '#', most useful
with logging.
* Added configure test for rl_completion_suppress_append, which
helps compilation under MacOS.
* Comment processing happens before checking UTF-8
validity---comments are allowed to contain bogus UTF-8.
* Changed units_cur to skip bogus precious metals data from
timegenie and to skip currencies with no rate.
- Cleanups spec file with spec-cleaner
- Update usage of gpg signature

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Mar 27 21:48:50 UTC 2014 - andreas.stieger@gmx.de
- GNU Units 2.10:
* Added '_' to represent the previous result.
* Added support for rational exponents with numerators larger
than 1 so you can do calculations like liter^2|3.
* Added logging with --log (-L) option.
* Fixed some unit definitions (R_infinity, planckmass), and added
R_K90 and K_J90 for the conventional values of the von Klitzing
and Josephson constants.
* Don't use readline unless reading from a tty.
* Display of nonlinear unit definitions shows the range over which
the unit is defined and the required dimensions of the argument.
* Unit completion with readline will now complete nonlinear units,
functions (e.g. cuberoot), prefixes, and unit list aliases. It
will no longer insert a space after the completion.
* Running "units --version" returns success.
* Combining "--version" with "--terse" gives a terse version
output.
* Combining "--version" with "--verbose" or running with "--info"
gives a detailed output of how units was compiled and where its
supporting files are found.
* A nonlinear unit can be defined equal to another nonlinear unit
using the syntax: "newfunc() oldfunc".
* Domain and range specified with nonlinear units can be open
intervals, indicated by parentheses instead of brackets.
* The "noerror" keyword on a nonlinear unit supresses error
checking with "units --check" for that unit.
* Changes to units_cur to work with timegenie changes and to
support Python 3.
The Python module unidecode is now required for units_cur.
* The method for finding supporting files has changed when units
is compiled to be relocatable.
* Fix to compile with Bison 3.0.
* Improved error messages for various cases.
* Some simple icons are included.
- licence is GPL-3.0+
- run minimal unit tests
- spec file cleaning
- note that make install fails with smp_flags
- support optional build with units_cur for updating units
(requires python-Unidecode, not in Factory)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Sep 9 10:01:03 UTC 2013 - pgajdos@suse.com
- updated to version 2.02:
* Added support for %a and %A output formats (hexadecimal floating point), and
eliminated the restriction on the number of displayed digits when specifying
an output format with the --output-format (-o) option. Improved error
handling for formats specified with --output-format.
* Added --digits (-d) to specify the number of digits to display. Giving
'--digits max' (-dmax) will use the full available precision.
* Added support for various Unicode minus sign symbols. Units now treats the
figure dash (U+2012), the en dash (U+2013), and the minus (U+2212) as
identical to the ASCII hyphen/minus symbol (U+002D).
* The !message command in units data files has been fixed so it does not
produce output when the --quiet option is given.
* Improved error handling when unit names end with numbers without a '_'.
* Modified units_cur to work with XML format as the txt format disappeared.
* Corrected error in definition of the nat.
* Improved manual.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Aug 7 11:50:03 UTC 2012 - pgajdos@suse.com
- updated to version 2.00:
General changes:
* Unit lists provide conversion to sums of units (e.g. feet and inches).
* Added --round (-r) and --show-factor (-S) options for use with unit lists.
* Added unit lists aliases (e.g. time, usvol).
* A python script, units_cur, can update currency data.
* Units now flushes its output so you can talk to it with a pipe.
* Units now works in UTF-8 if the system supports it.
* Added --locale (-l) option to set the locale.
* English units such as the gallon are defined in all locales, with US
definitions by default except in the en_BG locale. You can force
the desired definition (Great Britain or US) by setting the
environment variable UNITS_ENGLISH to GB or US.
* Revised and extended the documentation, with more examples.
* Added locale mapping to address Windows locale names.
* Updated and revised units database, including UTF-8 definitions and
the 2010 CODATA.
* Fixed parsing bug for "1..2" or "1.2.3". These now give an error.
* Unit names can end with a number in the form of a subscript that
starts with a '_', as in 'X_3'.
Changes for units definition files:
* Changed location and names of unit database, splitting off currency
Files are /usr/local/share/units/{definitions,currency}.units and
the personal units file is $HOME/.units instead of $HOME/units.dat.
* Personal units filename can be changed with MYUNITSFILE environment variable.
* Prefixes can be defined in any order: it is no longer necessary to
define longer ones before shorter ones.
* New definitions replace previous ones. Personal units file is read
after the system file rather than before.
* Changed syntax for function definitions. Instead of [in-unit,out-unit]
you must now write units=[in-unit,out-unit]. Use 'units -c' to find
places in your personal data files that need to be updated.
* Add optional domain and range to function definitions with syntax
domain=[min,max] and range=[min,max]. Either min or max can be
omitted to signal infinity.
* Unit list aliases can be defined with !unitlist command.
* Added !var and !varnot and !endvar to include definitions based on
environment variable settings.
* Added !set to set environment variables (if they aren't already set).
* Added !message to display a message
* Data files are in UTF-8, with !utf8 and !endutf8 commands to mark
definitions that require UTF-8 support.
* Improved error handling when reading units.dat.

* Type 'search text' to list units that contain 'text' in their name.
* Precedence of '*' changed to match precedence of '/'.
(Multiplication by juxtaposition retains a higher precedence than
'/'.) The --oldstar option selects the old precedence and --newstar
forces the new precedence.
