Quote: Free42 HISTORY
28-08-2009: release 1.4.54
* The new BCDFloat code, introduced in version 1.4.52, uses a different
convention for representing NaN and infinities: instead of using special
values in the exponent, it now uses dedicated flags, and has a narrower
exponent field. The code that converts between decimal and binary, when
switching between Free42 Decimal and Free42 Binary while keeping the same
state file, did not deal with this new convention, and, as a result,
switching between those versions could cause numbers to become NaN or
Infinity when they shouldn´t.
This release fixes this. It is only relevant to those who switch between
Free42 Decimal and Free42 Binary.
17-08-2009: release 1.4.53
* Decimal version: fixed a bug in the subtract routine that could cause
incorrect, malformed results in some cases, e.g. 4 ENTER 3 / 1 - 3 * 1 -
returned -:.E-25.
