Hello everyone!

2.3.1 is released!
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/w-calc/Wcalc-2.3.1.tar.bz2
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/w-calc/Wcalc-2.3.1.universal.dmg

This release is, as you may guess from the small version bump,
primarily a bugfix release. Over the last six months, it's been slowly
accumulating minor fixes, and the volume has gotten to the "new
version" level.

The most important change for Debian users is also the most
insignificant: some language in the licensing leftover from the dawn
of wcalc was incompatible with the GPL. This was discovered by Vincent
Lefevre (Debian bug 435751) back in August, and was fixed in CVS
immediately, but there hasn't been a new release until now. Hopefully,
this hasn't made life too difficult for Danielle.

Wcalc also got some attention from the authors of WIMS, leading to the
introduction of the ability to read information from the environment.
I believe the relevant example page is here. Hopefully this release
makes integrating wcalc with WIMS a little more straightforward.

Other than that, the bug fixes are mostly minor things that have been
raised on the mailing list or that I stumbled across myself:
preference behavior, some display issues, erratic behavior with regard
to engineering notation and some compound operations, that sort of
thing. I also had a few conversations with some folks who wished the
wcalc documentation was a little more accessible. To that end, I've
put the Wcalc manual and the list of all available conversion units in
webpages linked on the right side of the home page. If it makes one
person's life easier, well, then excellent!

You may have noticed that Wcalc is available only in source or
Universal-Binary form. That's because I've finally gotten an Intel
Mac, and my ability to make PPC binaries is somewhat restricted. If I
have the time, I may add a PPC binary at some point, but until then,
this will have to do. Also, for what it's worth, I discovered that in
the previous release, the Mac CLI didn't have history support (though
it did appear to have tab-completion). The problem has been addressed
in this binary release.

As per usual: enjoy! Let me know if you find anything unpleasant.
