Major Update
Live Weather
- Get real-time weather data for most locations on Earth (thanks to Weather on macOS Ventura)
- Simply type "weather in (city or airport code)" for the current temperature and weather conditions. Lines with weather queries will live-update during the day
- You can also query for "temperature/temp", "feels like/apparent temperature", "high" and "low"
- Weather queries depend on place names already recognized by Soulver (this includes most large cities around the world)
- You can add additional places for weather queries in the Calculator > Additional Places settings
Sheets & Sync
- New "Keep on Top" option under the Window menu for sheets
- Soulver matches the behavior of the Notes app where you can go Window > Open Sheet in New Window and then Window > Keep on Top to make a particular sheet (or Soulver file) always float above other windows on your Mac
- New option to automatically resolve sync conflicts by selecting the most recently edited version of a sheet
Date & Time Calculations
- Support for lowercase timezone abbreviations (gmt, aest, pst, etc)
- A couple of new date calculation functions: "days until April", "days left in March"
- Dates formatted in ISO8601 are now recognized in expressions
- "Sept" can now be used to refer to September (in addition to "Sep")
- "SIN" can be used to refer to Singapore now (in the past this conflicted with the sin() trigonometry function)
Misc
- Added a menu item under the Help menu to reset suppressed warnings
- You can now suppress the dialog offering to automatically rename variables for you after changing a variable's name
Bug fixes
- Fixed an issue with auto-complete and variables beginning with "total" (thanks Bill!)
- Fixed a bug with an incorrectly identified comment in a variable declaration (thanks Russ!)
- Fixed an issue with the next/last/this weekday function returning inaccurate answers in some cases
- Fixed an issue where automatic variable renaming was triggering unnecessarily when clicking away from a variable declaration line
- Fixed a crash that could occur for some users on macOS Ventura 13.1+ after variable renaming

Minor Update
Specifier Shorthands
- Added some short form specifiers for quicker conversions:
- Use "num" for number ("35% as num" = 0.35)
- Use "bin" for binary ("123 as bin" = 0b1111011)
- Use "iso" for the iso8603 date format ("today as iso" = 2022-11-24T12:00:00+03:00)
Wolfram|Alpha
- Your Mac's preferred unit system is now respected in Wolfram|Alpha queries
- Your preferred number format is now respected in Wolfram|Alpha queries
- Wolfram|Alpha queries may now be performed in QuickSoulver
- It can take a few minutes for newly created Wolfram|Alpha AppIDs to be activated. This is now better communicated in Soulver's settings
Misc
- Multi-word variables are now automatically formatted with non-breaking spaces
- Alfred workflow has been updated and now works with Soulver installed in non-standard locations
- Some minor bug fixes & various general improvements to the calculation engine

Major Minor Update
Editor
- More easily "comment out" numbers by selecting text and pressing the quotation marks (") key. This will wrap the text in quotation marks the calculator will ignore it.
- Email addresses are now recognized (in addition to web URLs)
Quick Total
- The quick total now compresses to the right of the answer column during scrolling: this reduces overlap with other answers
- Median is supported as a quick statistic
Statistics of Lists
- Perform statistical operations on lists of lines, like "total of 3, 4, 5 7 and 9" = (28), or "average of 12, 30 and 90" (=44)
- Supported statistics include sum/total, average/mean, count, and median
Units & Conversions
- Feet and inches can now be specified using ' and ". For example: 3' 4" + 9' 2" = 12 feet 6 inches
- Added decimetres unit (dm)
- Added microgram unit (mcg)
Rounding to Nearest x
- Added "to nearest (x)" rounding function. Examples:
- "37 to nearest 10" (= 40)
- $490 rounded to nearest hundred (= "$500")
- 2,100 to nearest thousand (= 2,000)
Multiples
- Added additional functions for "multiple on" and "multiple off" (in addition to "multiple of"):
- 100 is what multiple of 50 (= 2x)
- 50 is what multiple off 100 (= 0.5x)
- 100 is what multiple on 50 (= 1x)
Conditionals
- Added an additional conditional syntax with a variable declaration: "profitable = true if income > expenses"
- "Unless" is now supported in conditionals: "profitable = true unless expenses > income"
- Support for "and" (&&) and "or" (||): "Overweight = BMI >= 25 and BMI < 30"

- Fixed an issue with unexpected behaviour when typing Korean characters (thanks Daeok)

- Soulver 3 now requires macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or later
