Version 3.10.2 - 12.10.2017

The bad news: The previous version of PocketCAS had a few crashing bugs.
The good news: Our new crash-reporting system helped us find them more easily.
The better news: This update fixes them!

Version 3.10.1 - 30.9.2017

Remember that issue we mentioned in yesterday's Release notes for PocketCAS 3.10 where tapping a keyboard button would open a new, blank editor? Guess what — we were able to reproduce and finally fix it :-)

Version 3.10 - 29.9.2017

New Feature (iOS 11): Drag-and-drop support! You can now:
- Use drag-and-drop on the sides of entries to re-order them.
- Drop text onto PocketCAS' entry list to create a new entry with that text.
- Drag-and-drop a formula inside PocketCAS to create a new entry with the formula's text.
- Drop an image onto a 'Calculation' entry to attach it to the calculation as an image annotation.
- Drag plots outside PocketCAS to export them in transparent PNG or PDF format. (The exported type can be configured in the application settings, but also depends on the receiving application.)
- Drag formulas outside PocketCAS to export them in transparent PNG, PDF, or text format. (The exported type can be configured in the application settings, but also depends on the receiving application.)
New Feature (iOS 11): File management! PocketCAS uses iOS 11's new document picker. This lets you create subfolders, save documents anywhere you like, tag them, browse them in the Files app, and more. The file browser will even show thumbnail previews of the first entry for documents that have been edited with PocketCAS 3.10 before.
New Feature (iPhone X): PocketCAS will fully support the iPhone X's display from day one.

Improvement (Mac): Added a hotkey to search the function list in the entry editor.
Bugfix: Fixed a few bugs in the computation kernel (CAS).
Bugfix (Mac): Fixed crashes under OS X Mavericks.
You might be wondering why there's no entry "Added support for the 10.5-inch iPad Pro's display" in here. Well, that display was supported by PocketCAS right out of the box!

Version 3.9.1 - 16.1.2017

This version fixes a rare crash (mostly happening on macOS) when manipulating plots introduced in version 3.9.

Version 3.9 - 13.1.2017

This update switches PocketCAS to a different C++ library. This should have very little impact on you, except for improved performance in some cases :-)
However, in case you notice anything weird, please let us know via our support form.

In addition, this version contains:

Improvement: Added a "Safe Mode" that doesn't load results and variables in documents, to avoid crashes. On iOS, this mode automatically activates when the app crashes during launch.
Bugfix: Fixed a crash on iPhone when trying to open the graph settings for a second time.

Version 3.8.5 - 2.1.2017

This update fixes a crash under iOS 8 and earlier.

Version 3.8.3 - 14.11.2016

New feature: PocketCAS for Mac now supports the MacBook Pro's new touch bar.
Bugfix: Fixed some keyboard problems on iOS 10 when rotating the device.

Version 3.8.2 - 27.7.2016

In this update, we have renamed the "Time Graphing" feature to "Animated Graphs" in order to avoid a possible copyright dispute. We also changed the name of the animated variable from "T" to "anim". However, we also took the opportunity to add a new feature: You can now customize the name of the animated variable yourself – this should help with maintaining compatibility with your existing documents.

In addition, this update fixes a few bugs:

CSV files without a newline at the end will now be parsed properly.
Indeterminate limits will now return an error when the limits from above and below differ.
Printing plots has been fixed.
Menus will no longer appear behind the math keyboard on iOS 8.

Version 3.8.1 - 11.4.2016

We have a few bug fixes for version 3.8 in this update:

Bugfix: The system keyboard shows up again in the 'Tools' menu of the iPhone version. Protip: You can show that keyboard more quickly by just swiping up with one finger on the PocketCAS keyboard.
Bugfix: Fixed the cursor jumping when typing at the beginning of very long entries.
Bugfix: Fixed a crash when deleting the "X/Y Precision" fields in the 3D plot settings.

Version 3.8 - 5.4.2016

This is one of the largest updates to PocketCAS to date, with more than 300 changes to the codebase. We hope you enjoy it!

New Feature: Support for split screen multitasking and iPad Pro! Sorry for the delay, but we had to reorganize quite a few things to support e.g. "small" mode in split screen mode. But it's finally here!
New Feature: Plot defaults. You can now change the default settings for plots in the menu (or in the app preferences on the Mac).
New Feature: Importing variables. You can now create new "Import Document" entries that will load all variables from the document you specify. This lets you e.g. create a "function library" that can be shared by multiple other documents.
New Feature: CSV Import (requires iCloud Drive). You can now load CSV files into variables to process them. See the new tutorial for an example.
New Feature: "Chaining" entries. You can now append "//!next" to the end of an entry to also recalculate the following one. (See the Scripting tutorial for an example.)
New Feature: Subfolders for documents. A few caveats: This only works with iCloud Drive enabled in PocketCAS and you have to manually create subfolders in the "iCloud Drive" app on your device.
Improvement: Documents, PDFs and images can now also be exported to other apps (not only via email).
Improvement: Improved the accuracy of drawing implicit plots (e.g. circles) when zooming in very far.
Improvement: You can now view the text editor's hotkeys by pressing and holding the Cmd button on Bluetooth keyboards.
Improvement: PocketCAS now supports Shared iPad for schools.
Improvement: Added planes and lines to the 3D plot tutorial.
Improvement: Even when a document causes the app to crash, it should not get stuck in a crash loop anymore.
Bugfix: Speaking of crashes, we fixed several possible crashes and other bugs. Let us know in case you still encounter problems!

Version 3.7.5/3.7.6 (iOS) - 1.11.2015

Fixed one more crash when the device was running low on memory.

Version 3.7.4 (iOS) - 15.10.2015

The app should no longer crash on launch under iOS 7.
The app should no longer crash when switching documents.
Dialogs in the entry editor will no longer be obscured by the keyboard under iOS 9.
Plotting should be even more reliable now.

Version 3.7/3.7.1 - 12.10.2015

This update improves support for iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan. It includes support for App Transport Security as well as using the new San Francisco font everywhere. Plus, the following things have been improved:

Some plots that did not appear in the previous version should appear again now. In case you do still encounter plots that do not show up, please try appending "//!dontDrawSpecialPoints" to that plot's line and contact us.
There now is an iCloud Drive folder for PocketCAS.
Along with that, iCloud document syncing might be slightly more reliable now.
You can now "Handoff" documents in iCloud between your devices. Just open a document on one device and it will automatically show up in the other's lock screen or Dock.
Results of ifactor() will no longer be simplified back to the original input.

Version 3.6.11/13 - 9/23.7.2015

This version is another minor release. But we have great plans for the next major update! For example, we're thinking of the following new features:

Changing the default settings for plots
Importing functions and variables from other PocketCAS documents
Importing data in e.g. CSV format

But we're also really interested in how we can make PocketCAS better for YOU! If you want to let us know, please fill out our short survey at http://pocketcas.com/feedback. Your feedback helps us a lot!

For now, this version contains:

Improvement: Significantly improved the accuracy of detecting zeroes and extremes in plots. Most extremes should now be properly recognized as e.g. 2.0 instead of 1.9998. This is not yet perfect (for some plots 100% accurate detection might be impossible), but please let us know if you encounter any unexpected results.
Improvement (iPad): Slightly tweaked the routines responsible for sizing popovers.
Bugfix: Fixed a rare issue where tapping keyboard buttons would insert their values twice.
Bugfix: Improved handling of logarithmic plots, especially when zoomed out.

Version 3.6.5 - 9.6.2015

For now, this version contains:

New feature: PocketCAS now displays points in plots where a function is not defined, e.g. for x=1 in (x^2-1)/(x-1). Please let us know if you find plots where this is not the case!
Improvement: The crossP() function now also works for vectors.
Improvement: Single units will now be displayed with a "1", e.g. "N" will become "1 N".
Improvement: List/vector accesses will now be displayed as e.g. "v[0]" instead of "at(v, 0)".
Improvement (iOS): Tutorials will now only be autosaved when they're modified.
Improvement (Mac): The app's icon looks slightly better now.
Bugfix: Some matrices were accidentally displayed as lists.
Bugfix: Some plots would not show up when printing.
Bugfix: Arc seconds are handled properly now.
Bugfix: The app would crash for a few particular integrals.
Bugfix: Some plots would still crash.
Bugfix (iOS): Some plots had the wrong colors.
Bugfix (iPad): Trying to duplicate an entry could crash the app.
Bugfix (iPad): The matrix editor would sometimes not show up.
Bugfix (iPad): Keyboard sizes other than M sometimes did not show up properly.

Plus several minor improvements that didn't make it into this list ;-)

Version 3.6 (iOS) - 22.10.2014

This version of PocketCAS improves support for iOS 8 and the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. There have been a lot of minor improvements that make the app easier to use on larger-screen phones:

Improvement: PocketCAS will now run at native resolution on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
Improvement: PocketCAS now uses the default iOS text editor, which should be a lot nicer to use, especially for e.g. selecting text.
Improvement: On the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, graphs and formulas are laid out horizontally in landscape mode.
Improvement: The keyboard size on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus has been increased.
Improvement: You can now swipe from the left of the screen in the entry editor to go back to the main view.
Improvement: You can now swipe from the right on an entry to delete it.

Improvement: Full-screen graphs now extend to the status bar.

Version 3.6 (Mac) - 15.10.2014

This version of PocketCAS improves compatibility with OS X Yosemite. In particular, 3D graphs should work properly on Retina displays and the editor toolbar has also been improved. A bug regarding to translations not working properly has also been fixed. If you encounter any remaining compatibility issues, please let me know!

Version 3.5.3 - 6.10.2014

Please apologize the late fix for the crashes in the last version. One more update (featuring an improved text editor, iPhone 6 support, and some smaller improvements) will be released as soon as Apple approves it.

Please note that this is the last version of PocketCAS that supports iOS 5 and 6. I'd love to keep supporting older iOS versions, but some features (e.g. a somewhat improved text editor) are impossible without iOS 7.

Bugfix: Fixed crashes when trying to open the app's settings and matrix editor.

Version 3.5.2 - 3.10.2014

Unfortunately, this version still crashes when trying to open the application settings or the matrix editor. The issue appeared to be fixed on my devices, but seems to still be present in the App Store build. I am very sorry about these problems and will do all I can to provide another update as soon as possible. Until then, you can access the PocketCAS settings from Settings.app as well. Matrices can also be created manually via e.g. [[1,2],[3,4]] (see the Linear Algebra tutorial for more examples).

Bugfix: Fixed crashes when trying to open the app's settings and matrix editor.
Bugfix: Fixed the export and support actions on iPads running iOS 8.
Bugfix: Fixed crashes when trying to create plots with very large numbers under iOS 8.

Bugfix: Fixed a bug where the Y-component of special points was not shown in the plot.

Version 3.5 - 2.9.2014

Please note that upcoming versions of PocketCAS will require iOS 7 or later. I'd love to keep supporting iOS 6 and below, but some features (e.g. a somewhat improved text editor) are impossible without iOS 7. PocketCAS 3.5 still supports iOS 5.1, though :-)

New feature: Time series plotting! You can now create plots that depend on the variable T. When you press the "Play" button in the top left of the plot, the plot will be animated for changing values of T. Try it out with the corresponding tutorial! (Note that this feature might be slow on single-core (iPhone 4 and below/iPad 1) devices.)
Improvement: You can now hide individual calculations lines completely by appending a semicolon, similar to other CAS software.
Improvement: Results will now be simplified automatically. Note that automatic simplification still is less aggressive than the simplify() function.
Improvement: You can now select custom colors for your plots.
Improvement: You can now hide special points in a 2D plot, i.e. zeroes, extremes and intersections.
