Announcing the release of bc-1.08.2, and its bundled dc-1.5.2.
This release fixes some small bugs noticed in the 1.08.1 release
(see below for details).
GNU bc and dc are arbitrary precision calculators. GNU bc uses a
more traditional algebraic notation, and somewhat C-like function
definitions; the behavior is largely specified by POSIX.2. GNU dc
uses so-called "reverse-Polish notation (RPN) and macro recursion;
there is no formal specification, but it should be compatible with
traditional implementations of dc.
This release can be downloaded from
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bc/bc-1.08.2.tar.gz (458 KiB)
or
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bc/bc-1.08.2.tar.lz (330 KiB)
and all of the usual mirrors thereof.
Changes in bc from 1.08.1 to 1.08.2:
Remove last vestages of K&R C; this allows gcc-15+ to compile
the code without special options.
Some typo and formatting fixes in the documentation.
Changes in dc 1.5.1 to 1.5.2:
Plug a small memory leak.
