What's new in Soulver 3.10.3

Apr 10, 2024
  • CSS Units:
  • CSS units (em, rem & px) will now always be formatted without spaces and using a standard US decimal character (.) so they can be immediately pasted into CSS files
  • Volume units:
  • Added slightly more accuracy to volume & substance calculations in certain cases
  • Rates of liters/meters^2 are now resolved to a unit of meters
  • Natural language functions:
  • You can now use "@" as a synonym for "at" in natural language phrases, like in compound interest "$5k after 3 years @ 7.5%" (= ($6,211))
  • Conditionals:
  • Support for "if x then…" in addition to if x == true then…", where x is a boolean
  • Fixed a bug where natural language functions were not working in the "then" position in conditionals (thanks Ian)
  • Timezones:
  • Added timezones for French territories: Mauritius, French Guiana, Martinique, La Réunion, & Guadeloupe
  • Functions:
  • Support for specifying the value of a unit using a function, like "sin(30) radians", or "abs(-40) meters"
  • Line references:
  • Support for adding a SI scalar to a line reference, for example "[123]k EUR", where [123] is a token reference to a previous line
  • Specifiers:
  • Support for "dec" as a shorthand for "decimal", like "0x123 to dec" (thanks Nasco)
  • Calendar calculations:
  • The "days left in 2024" function now returns a whole number of days (rather than fractional)
  • Support for converting timespans into "months and days"
  • Localizations:
  • Diacritics are now ignored in unit and function names in the Spanish localization (use either "días" or "dias" for example) (thanks Carlos)
  • Bug fixes:
  • Fixed an issue where the log() function was not working with hex and binary numbers (thanks Emile)
  • Fixed a very obscure bug where Soulver could use excessive CPU in the background when a list of fractions similar to dates was present in a heading comment in a US locale (thanks Jon)
  • Fixed a hang when performing lcm with a list of numbers that included 0 (thanks Daniel)
  • Fixed a bug where a line reference could lose its referent when deleting multiple lines above its referent's line
  • "tonne" now maps to metric ton, rather than short tons.

New in Soulver 3.10.2 (Mar 11, 2024)

  • Fixed a few bugs that popped up in 3.10.1 (thanks Andre, Rob & Guillermo for the speedy reports)

New in Soulver 3.10.1 (Mar 8, 2024)

  • Pounds & Ounces:
  • Added support for "pounds & ounces" as a composite result format. This will be the new default for expressions using pounds (lb), such as "13.5 lb" (= 13 lb 8 oz)
  • Pounds & ounces conversions can manually be done using the converter "in pounds & ounces" or "in lb oz"
  • You can still use "in lb/pounds" to express the result as decimal pounds.
  • Date & Time Zone Calculations:
  • Added support for interval calculations involving years and formats like "1953 − today"
  • Added support for dates in the format "13 March 23" (Year assumed to be 23 here)
  • Added support for time zone calculations in the "time in Copenhagen 3 hours (from now/ago)" format
  • Timespans:
  • Support for double unit timespans like "in minutes and seconds", "in hours and minutes" and so on
  • Soulver uses timespans more frequently in operations on single quantities of time. For example, "25 min / 12" = (2 min 5 seconds), "1h20m + 45m" = (2 hours 5 mins)
  • When "as timespan" is explicitly specified for the result of a date interval calculation, fixed time units are used, not variable ones
  • Added "time span" as an alternate expression for "timespan"
  • Number Formatting:
  • Numbers in SI notation will now conform to your decimal point settings. Formerly, they were formatted to 3 dp regardless
  • Added support for SI symbols (k, M, G) to line references
  • Crypto currencies will no longer round to two decimal places by default.
  • In situations where it's unambiguous, Europeans can now use either ,
  • or .
  • as a decimal point, such as in "1,3 + 1.3" (= 2,6)
  • Lists:
  • Added support for expressions inside parentheses in lists like "max (100 * 2) 50 100" (= 200)
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed an issue with single letters not acting as custom prefix currency symbols, such as R100 for South African Rand (thanks to Hein)
  • Fixed an issue where custom currency symbols were not applied without a further application restart after changing your number format
  • Fixed an issue where a single currency symbol in parentheses was interpreted as a comment, such as ($100) (thanks to Andre)
  • Fixed an issue where a short month name in parentheses could cause a comment not to be correctly recognised (thanks to Markus & Nigameash).
  • Fixed a problem with raising volume units to the power of a third (thanks to Daniel)
  • If multiple variables shared the same name, only one was included in the quick total. This issue has now been fixed (thanks TJ)
  • Fixed an issue with "February 29" without a year component not being recognized as a valid date (😪, thanks Patrick)
  • Fixed an issue with defining the decimal point of several lines with variable dependencies
  • Fixed an issue related to a peculiar symbol that could cause the application to crash when pasted (thanks to Jason)
  • Fixed an issue that caused a crash when executing sinh(10000)

New in Soulver 3.10 (Jan 16, 2024)

  • List operation improvements:
  • Support for "min", "max", "gcd" and "lcm" on lists of numbers.
  • For example:
  • "min 5, 3, 7" (= 3)
  • "max 50, 20, 10" (= 50)
  • "gcd 10, 20, 5" (= 5)
  • "lcm of 210, 40, 8" (= 840)
  • Time ago/from now in location:
  • New "time ago/from now in location" phrase
  • For example:
  • "3 hours ago in London"
  • "30 min from now in Sydney"

New in Soulver 3.9.2 (Oct 30, 2023)

  • Assertions:
  • Added an assert() function that you can use to verify an expected variable condition is true
  • For example, assert(expenses < $400), if you expect expenses to always be less than $400
  • The answer column will show red exclamation marks & the variable value to bring your attention to a line with a failing assertion
  • Scientific Notation:
  • Explicitly format answers in scientific notation using "in scientific notation" or "in sci": i.e "10500 in sci" (= 1.05e4)
  • Bug fixes:
  • Fixed a bug that could sometimes cause a crash on launch
  • Fixed a bug with certain expressions involving a currency conversion followed by a division not working correctly (thanks Anton)
  • Fixed a bug where clock times that use dot instead of colon could fail to work correctly in interval calculations (thanks Raphael)
  • Fixed a bug that could produce unwanted duplicate lines in a duplicated document (thanks Felipe)
  • Fixed an issue with laptimes not summing with unit expressions of time in subtotals (thanks Jasper)
  • Multiplying incompatible units now produces an error (thanks Oliver)
  • Fixed an issue with the "fraction of x" phrase inside a variable declaration (thanks Max)
  • Improved QuickSoulver behaviour across multiple displays (thanks Stefan)
  • Numbers with ordinal prefixes (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc) are now ignored as comments, and won't affect results (thanks Frank)

  • Currency Conversions:
  • You can now specify an explicit rate you'd like used for a particular currency conversion:
