Release 3.2.1

This is a production release that has one fix for bcl(3). It is technically not a bug fix since the behavior is undefined, but the BclNumbers that bcl_divmod() returns will be set to BCL_ERROR_INVALID_NUM if there is an error. Previously, they were not set.

Release 3.2.0

This is a production release that has one bug fix and a major addition.

The bug fix was a missing auto variable in the bessel j() function in the math library.

The major addition is a way to build a version of bc's math code as a library. This is done with the -a option to configure.sh. The API for the library can be read in ./manuals/bcl.3.md or man bcl once the library is installed with make install.

This library was requested by developers before I even finished version 1.0, but I could not figure out how to do it until now.

If the library has API breaking changes, the major version of bc will be incremented.

Release 3.1.6

This is a production release that fixes a new warning from Clang 12 for FreeBSD and also removes some possible undefined behavior found by UBSan that compilers did not seem to take advantage of.

Users do NOT need to upgrade, if they do not want to.

Release 3.1.4

This is a production release that fixes one bug, changes two behaviors, and removes one environment variable.

The bug is like the one in the last release except it applies if files are being executed. I also made the fix more general.

The behavior that was changed is that bc now exits when given -e, -f, --expression or --file. However, if the last one of those is -f- (using stdin as the file), bc does not exit. If -f- exists and is not the last of the -e and -f options (and equivalents), bc gives a fatal error and exits.

Next, I removed the BC_EXPR_EXIT and DC_EXPR_EXIT environment variables since their use is not needed with the behavior change.

Finally, I made it so bc does not print the header, though the -q and --quiet options were kept for compatibility with GNU bc.

Release 3.1.0

This is a production release that adjusts one behavior, fixes eight bugs, and improves manpages for FreeBSD. Because this release fixes bugs, users and package maintainers should update to this version as soon as possible.

The behavior that was adjusted was how code from the -e and -f arguments (and equivalents) were executed. They used to be executed as one big chunk, but in this release, they are now executed line-by-line.

The first bug fix in how output to stdout was handled in SIGINT. If a SIGINT came in, the stdout buffer was not correctly flushed. In fact, a clean-up function was not getting called. This release fixes that bug.

The second bug is in how dc handled input from stdin. This affected bc as well since it was a mishandling of the stdin buffer.

The third fixed bug was that bc and dc could abort() (in debug mode) when receiving a SIGTERM. This one was a race condition with pushing and popping items onto and out of vectors.

The fourth bug fixed was that bc could leave extra items on the stack and thus, not properly clean up some memory. (The memory would still get free()'ed, but it would not be free()'ed when it could have been.)

The next two bugs were bugs in bc's parser that caused crashes when executing the resulting code.

The last two bugs were crashes in dc that resulted from mishandling of strings.

The manpage improvement was done by switching from ronn to Pandoc to generate manpages. Pandoc generates much cleaner manpages and doesn't leave blank lines where they shouldn't be.

Release 3.0.3

This is a production release that adds one new feature: specific manpages.

Before this release, bc and dc only used one manpage each that referred to various build options. This release changes it so there is one manpage set per relevant build type. Each manual only has information about its particular build, and configure.sh selects the correct set for install.
