Description Rich Burridge 2006-10-30 16:34:40 UTC 
The operation of % operator has changed. It's now same as dividing 
the number by 100 (= one percent of the original number).

---

Example: non-arithmetic precedence mode

5
%
Display now shows 0.05

---

Example: arithmetic precedence mode

Calculating expression "5%" yields 0.05.
Comment 1 Joachim Noreiko 2006-11-02 16:25:49 UTC 
The examples are currently only for "classic" calculator mode (non-arithmetic precedence mode).

Calculating expression "5%" yields an error.
Comment 2 Joachim Noreiko 2006-11-02 16:33:39 UTC 
Nope, got it wrong again.
My version is 5.7. I'll have to leave this until I upgrade.

Let's put the bug back into a New state while you get your house in order...

Change checked into CVS HEAD. Closing as FIXED. I'll generate a new
gcalctool tarball for GNOME 2.17.3 in about a weeks time.
