There turned out to be one blocking technical issue for full adpotion of tpa format, and that was the fact that the printed representation of floating values inside the tpa file might not reproduce the same double when read. This change therefore introduces the "hexact" floating point format, based on the the %La format string, which produces a hex representation with exact round trips. While working on this, it was convenient to add a new representation "compact" which is basically the shorter of decimal and scientific representations, without trailing zeros. This is now the default float format, but of course one can select decimal or scientific formats to restore prior appearance. However, full-precision compact format is now the (only) format for editing cell contents, as it is accurate and efficient. Of course you can enter floating point values in any format you like when typing in a formula. The addition of several new floating point options overloaded the menus in terminal teapot, so this change also revamps those menus slightly, including eliminating the unused MenuChoice struct, and just specifying menus with an array of strings. Closes #63. |

The current release has the following features:
- curses based user interface with easy to understand menus
- FLTK 1.3 based GUI following common user interface conventions
- Cross-platform compatibility
- UTF-8 support
- portable sheet file format uses XDR or ASCII format
- tbl, LaTeX, HTML, CSV or formatted text files can be generated and simple SC and WK1 sheets can be imported
- typed expression evaluator with the types int, float, string, error, pointer to cell and empty
- iterative expressions
- powerful cell addressing
- three-dimensional sheets
- new expression evaluator functions can be added very easy
- a user guide, available as PDF and HTML
- It is still a small and simple program!
teapot should work on any system which supports the following:
- ANSI C
- An XDR library (included in the GNU C library, otherwise use http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/portablexdr/ )
- For the text interface: SYSV curses or ncurses library
- For UTF-8 in the text interface: libncursesw and a UTF-8 locale
- For the FLTK interface: C++
- For the FLTK interface: FLTK 1.3
A GNU zipped tar file of the prior release V 2.3.0 is available from:
