This project is so simple + that I don't see any benefit in using cmake. +- Add icons and .desktop files. +- Tell the window manager not to allow resizing the window. The + app can't resize anyway, so trying to make the window bigger just + results in a confusing mess. Making it smaller works, but parts + of the UI get cut off so it's unusable. Probably, tiling window + managers will ignore this (not much I can do about that). +- Fix a few -Wall warnings. +- Fix a segfaulting bug. To reproduce, start up the old hcalc and + press Backspace 6 times (or so; eventually it will crash). +- Add command-line options to control the window size (-small -medium + -large). +- Add command line options to control the starting number base (-hex, + -dec, etc). +- Add a man page. There was no documentation at all. +- Change "q" to quit, to uppercase Q or control-Q. I kept exiting when + trying to type a 1. +- Get rid of ^C = quit keystroke. +- Add ^C and ^V keystrokes for copy and paste. Now hcalc is fully + functional without using the mouse. +- Add modulus operation. % key, or right-click on / button. +- Add C as a synonym for Escape (CLR key). +- Add Delete as a synonym for backspace (DEL key). +- Fix a bug: stop allowing hex digits a-f when in decimal mode. +- Add ~/.hcalc.cfg, which holds the state of hcalc. Written on exit, + read on startup. Also add -default arg, to prevent reading this. +- Add -quiet option to silence the X bell. +- Allow changing the window size while running (toggle between the 3 + sizes). +- Add a 'make install' target, which will install the binary, icons, + man page, and .desktop file (with DESTDIR support for packagers). diff --git a/inst/usr/doc/blah/README b/inst/usr/doc/blah/README new file mode 100644 index 0000000..be32bfd --- /dev/null +++ b/inst/usr/doc/blah/README @@ -0,0 +1,27 @@ +README for Urchlay's fork of hcalc +---------------------------------- + +This is a fork of hcalc with some fixes and enhancements. + +Original hcalc is by DJ Delorie, and can be found here: +https://www.delorie.com/store/hcalc/ +This version dates back to the late 90s, when computer monitors had +lower resolution. It uses a 125x147 window, which is pretty small and +hard to read on a modern display (particularly a 4K one). It's also +harder to click on the tiny buttons. + +Sometime around 2007, Theodore Kilgore forked hcalc and made some +changes: +- Increase the application's window size by 2x (from 125x147 + to 250x294). This helps some with modern displays. +- Make the window manager's close button work. +- Change the build system from make to cmake. +- Add a copy of the GPL as COPYING, since the original version + doesn't have it (though the site states that it's GPL). +This was released as hcalc-1.2, and can be found here: +https://github.com/jlec/hcalc/ +Also, this is the version packaged by Gentoo. + +In 2024, I (B. Watson, urchlay@slackware.uk) have made many further +changes. See CHANGES for the list. See the man page for full +documentation (something that was lacking in the previous releases). diff --git a/inst/usr/doc/blah/TODO b/inst/usr/doc/blah/TODO new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d60c774 --- /dev/null +++ b/inst/usr/doc/blah/TODO @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +- Cleaner way of switching window sizes at runtime. -- cgit v1.2.3
