* Made exchangerate-api the default currency server
* Adjusted US survey units to use the international foot by default due to deprecation of the US survey foot
* abs() function works on units with dimensions, like -27 degrees.
* Support unicode operators for division and multiplication
* Ignore QUIT signal, which is sent by Ctrl-Backslash and Ctrl-4.
* Suppress repeated unit values in display of unit definitions
* Unit reductions that take more than 1000 steps now give a \"circular reference\" error.
* More detailed reporting from the --check (-c) option.
* Fixed bug in positioning pointer to errors in input when the input has leading spaces.
* Fixed parser memory leak with numbers too large or small for type double.
* Allow multiple divisions in expressions that start with \"/\", e.g. \"/m/s\"
* Sun Dec 25 2022 Andreas Stieger - units 2.22:
* Fixed bug: segfault on inverse conversions of tables in verbose mode
* Added support for ExchangeRate-API in units_cur
* Minor unit definition fixes and updates, including updates to planetary data and a change in Rinfinity and hartree to increase accuracy.
* Do not update currency.units at build
* Tue Jun 08 2021 pgajdosAATTsuse.com- require python3-requests [bsc#1186820]
* Thu Mar 11 2021 pgajdosAATTsuse.com- use python3 by home:lorenz
* Mon Nov 16 2020 Andreas Stieger - units 2.21:
* Fix bug arising when some environment variables are undefined
* Improve error reporting when input files are missing or invalid- remove obsolete texinfo macros on Factory- make the executable position independent
* Thu Oct 01 2020 Andreas Stieger - units 2.20:
* Add abs(), ceil(), round(), floor(), Gamma(), lnGamma(), factorial(), erf() and erfc() functions.
* Add densities of all of the elements
* Add several new unit systems

* Invoke the pager more intelligently depending on the size of the screen
* Fix bug where unit lists conversions displayed excess precision (e.g. non-integer output for integer input)
* Display precision warning when conversion to unit lists uses all of the available precision
* Wed Jul 31 2019 Andreas Stieger - units 2.19:
* Unit definitions updated to reflect new 2019 revisions to SI and the 2018 NIST CODATA.
* Added definitions of country and USA state areas, and physical properties of selected woods.
* Changes only to definitions.units in this release.
* Thu Oct 25 2018 astiegerAATTsuse.com- units 2.18:
* The units_cur script now supports multiple currency sources
* Add hyperbolic functions: sinh, cosh, tanh, asinh, acosh, atanh
* Add log to arbitrary integer bases: log3, log4, log72, etc.
* Units can be redefined without a warning by adding \'+\' before the unit name in definitions.units.
* Add \'quit\' and \'exit\' commands.
* Add support for CGS electromagnetic units (activated using the - u option or the UNITS_SYSTEM environment variable)
* Add !prompt command to add a prefix to the \"You have:\" prompt
* Texts specified with !message appear in the log file
* Wed Jun 27 2018 astiegerAATTsuse.com- units 2.17:
* Updates to units database
* Update units_cur to handle bad records returned by yahoo server
* Move currency.units out of /usr/share because the file is not static and /usr/share is supposed to house static files. The new location is $sharedstatedir which may be /var/lib
* Wed Nov 01 2017 astiegerAATTsuse.com- units 2.16:
* Fix missing USD currency code (update to units_cur and definitions.units only).- includes changes from 2.15:
* The old timegenie service has vanished. A new units_cur script uses yahoo.com server. The new script works directly in Python 2 or Python 3 and no longer depends on unidecode.
* Some currency definitions (e.g. currencies pegged to the euro) have moved out of definitions.units into currency.units.
* Added bitcoin to currency.units
* Fixed a memory leak bug for invalid exponent operations
* Mon Apr 03 2017 astiegerAATTsuse.com- units 2.14:
* Eliminated parser memory management limitation affecting long input expressions (e.g. a sum of more than 100 units)
* Control characters are treated as white space rather than producing an error about invalid UTF-8.
* Thu Jun 23 2016 astiegerAATTsuse.com- units 2.13:
* Corrected error in heat of vaporization of water
* Fixed bug where single character unicode prefixes couldn\'t combined with the second \"s\", so microsecond couldn\'t be abbreviated.
* Fixed bug where -H \'\' option would write history to ~/.history.
* Added -fpic compile option so that it is possible to compile to a library
* Thu Oct 15 2015 mpluskalAATTsuse.com- Update to 2.12
* Updated and revised units database, with constants now based on 2014 CODATA.
* Readline history is persistent and is saved to ~/.units_history, or to the file specified with --history (-H) option.
* Fixed bug where \'_\' didn\'t give last result after conversion to function.
* Fixed sporadic segmentation fault with --log.
* Comments allowed on interactive input with \'#\', most useful with logging.
* Added configure test for rl_completion_suppress_append, which helps compilation under MacOS.
* Comment processing happens before checking UTF-8 validity---comments are allowed to contain bogus UTF-8.
* Changed units_cur to skip bogus precious metals data from timegenie and to skip currencies with no rate.- Cleanups spec file with spec-cleaner- Update usage of gpg signature- Move info scriplet to preun- Enable units_cur builiding by default
