Default is radian mode, You set the option in the right click menu
like the other options.
Note: degree mode does not affect hyperbolic trigonometric functions.
This is how Mac Calculator, Windows Calculator, and Google Calculator
work.
Deskcalc already contains support for all the functions in scientific mode
but up until now you had to know what they were called and type them in to
figure them out. Scientific mode gives you access to most of the available
functions via buttons.
Pushing one of the the scientific mode buttons inserts the function name
along with an innertube () at the current cursor location. If you have some
text highlighted when you push a scientific mode button it will put that
text inside the innertube. So you can type 0.5, then highlight the text with
the mouse, and then push the sin button and you will get sin(0.5).
The contextual menu has been altered to support the new mode.
Instead of having a single show keypad option in the contextual menu there
are 3 new options instead. Compact mode, Basic mode, and Scientific mode.
Basic mode is the default mode showing the basic keypad. Compact mode is the
same as show keypad turned off, showing just a bare text field. Scientific
mode is the new mode which adds buttons for the different transcendental
functions and constants that Deskcalc supports. You can also use Alt+0, Alt+1,
and Alt+2 keyboard modifiers to switch between the modes.
In addition to accepting the word 'pi' for the circumference of the unit
circle, Deskcalc now also recognizes the UTF-8 character π which has a
dedicated button in scientific mode. I also changed the parser so that
lowercase 'e' always means Euler's number and uppercase 'E' always means
'times 10 to the' so 1E5 means 1 times 10 to the 5th.
Another small tweak I did was to adjust the minimum basic mode width so that
the window is flush with the tab.
I also renamed fColums to fColumns, took out some spaces and other style
changes and bumped the version to 2.2.0.

for some MAPM functions, since they will otherwise
just return 0, instead of indicating an error.
Thanks! Fixes ticket #6398.

ln and log, which is hopefully more in line with expectations of users.
Thanks a lot!

actual digits. Therefore the buffer was always too small leading to memory
corruption. Use the version that allocates the string for us instead, then trim
it and assign it to the result.

* Moved the ExpressionParser class to shared. It's now built into its own
static library.
* Added hexadecimal number support to the expression parser as well as
Evaluation*() methods to get a number instead of a string.
