* Fix missing USD currency code (update to units_cur and definitions.units only).- includes changes from 2.15:

* 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.

* Thu Mar 27 2014 andreas.stiegerAATTgmx.de- GNU Units 2.10:

* Don\'t use readline unless reading from a tty.
* Display of nonlinear unit definitions shows the range over which the unit is defined and the required dimensions of the argument.
* Unit completion with readline will now complete nonlinear units, functions (e.g. cuberoot), prefixes, and unit list aliases. It will no longer insert a space after the completion.
* Running \"units --version\" returns success.
* Combining \"--version\" with \"--terse\" gives a terse version output.
* Combining \"--version\" with \"--verbose\" or running with \"--info\" gives a detailed output of how units was compiled and where its supporting files are found.
* A nonlinear unit can be defined equal to another nonlinear unit using the syntax: \"newfunc() oldfunc\".
* Domain and range specified with nonlinear units can be open intervals, indicated by parentheses instead of brackets.
* The \"noerror\" keyword on a nonlinear unit supresses error checking with \"units --check\" for that unit.
* Changes to units_cur to work with timegenie changes and to support Python 3. The Python module unidecode is now required for units_cur.
* The method for finding supporting files has changed when units is compiled to be relocatable.
* Fix to compile with Bison 3.0.
* Improved error messages for various cases.
* Some simple icons are included.- licence is GPL-3.0+- run minimal unit tests- spec file cleaning- note that make install fails with smp_flags- support optional build with units_cur for updating units (requires python-Unidecode, not in Factory)
* Mon Sep 09 2013 pgajdosAATTsuse.com- updated to version 2.02:
* Added support for %a and %A output formats (hexadecimal floating point), and eliminated the restriction on the number of displayed digits when specifying an output format with the --output-format (-o) option. Improved error handling for formats specified with --output-format.
* Added --digits (-d) to specify the number of digits to display. Giving \'--digits max\' (-dmax) will use the full available precision.
* Added support for various Unicode minus sign symbols. Units now treats the figure dash (U+2012), the en dash (U+2013), and the minus (U+2212) as identical to the ASCII hyphen/minus symbol (U+002D).
* The !message command in units data files has been fixed so it does not produce output when the --quiet option is given.
* Improved error handling when unit names end with numbers without a \'_\'.
* Modified units_cur to work with XML format as the txt format disappeared.
* Corrected error in definition of the nat.
* Improved manual.- employ gpg-offline
* Thu Nov 01 2012 pgajdosAATTsuse.com- updated to version 2.01:
* Fixed error in electronmass
* New definition for au
* Fixed DESTDIR support for installation

* Tue Aug 07 2012 pgajdosAATTsuse.com- updated to version 2.00: General changes:
* Unit lists provide conversion to sums of units (e.g. feet and inches).
* Added --round (-r) and --show-factor (-S) options for use with unit lists.
* Added unit lists aliases (e.g. time, usvol).
* A python script, units_cur, can update currency data.
* Units now flushes its output so you can talk to it with a pipe.
* Units now works in UTF-8 if the system supports it.
* Added --locale (-l) option to set the locale.
* English units such as the gallon are defined in all locales, with US definitions by default except in the en_BG locale. You can force the desired definition (Great Britain or US) by setting the environment variable UNITS_ENGLISH to GB or US.
* Revised and extended the documentation, with more examples.
* Added locale mapping to address Windows locale names.
* Updated and revised units database, including UTF-8 definitions and the 2010 CODATA.
* Fixed parsing bug for \"1..2\" or \"1.2.3\". These now give an error.
* Unit names can end with a number in the form of a subscript that starts with a \'_\', as in \'X_3\'. Changes for units definition files:
* Changed location and names of unit database, splitting off currency Files are /usr/local/share/units/{definitions,currency}.units and the personal units file is $HOME/.units instead of $HOME/units.dat.
* Personal units filename can be changed with MYUNITSFILE environment variable.
* Prefixes can be defined in any order: it is no longer necessary to define longer ones before shorter ones.
* New definitions replace previous ones. Personal units file is read after the system file rather than before.
* Changed syntax for function definitions. Instead of [in-unit,out-unit] you must now write units=[in-unit,out-unit]. Use \'units -c\' to find places in your personal data files that need to be updated.
* Add optional domain and range to function definitions with syntax domain=[min,max] and range=[min,max]. Either min or max can be omitted to signal infinity.
* Unit list aliases can be defined with !unitlist command.
* Added !var and !varnot and !endvar to include definitions based on environment variable settings.
* Added !set to set environment variables (if they aren\'t already set).
* Added !message to display a message
* Data files are in UTF-8, with !utf8 and !endutf8 commands to mark definitions that require UTF-8 support.
* Improved error handling when reading units.dat.
* Thu Aug 26 2010 pgajdosAATTsuse.cz- Updated to version 1.88

* Added support for
*
* as an exponent operator.
* Type \'search text\' to list units that contain \'text\' in their name.
* Precedence of \'
*\' changed to match precedence of \'/\'. (Multiplication by juxtaposition retains a higher precedence than \'/\'.) The --oldstar option selects the old precedence and --newstar forces the new precedence.
* Thu Mar 29 2007 schwabAATTsuse.de- Add bison to BuildRequires.
* Mon Dec 04 2006 schwabAATTsuse.de- Update to units 1.85.
