Major Update
Financial functions
- 10 new functions for doing common financial calculations, for example:
- Compound interest: "$5,000 after 10 years at 5%" (= $8,144.47)
- Monthly/annual/total mortgage payments: "monthly repayment on $10,000 for 6 years at 6%" (= $165.73)
- Monthly/annual/total interest: "monthly interest on $10,000 for 6 years at 6%" (= $26.84)
- Return on investment: "$500 invested $1,500 returned" (= 2x)
- Annual return on investment: "annual return on $1,000 invested $2,500 returned after 7 years" (= 13.99%)
- Present value of money: "present value of $1,000 after 20 years at 10%" (= $148.64)
Sheets & Search
- Quickly open sheets or folders via a Spotlight search from within Soulver using "Open Quickly" (Command-Shift-O)
- Added keystrokes to switch to the next/previous sheet in the sidebar
Totals
- Lines that form parts of a calculation on a subsequent line are now excluded from the quick total (i.e variable declarations, and lines referenced by line references)
- Added "count as another quick statistic option (accessible by control-clicking on the quick total)
Accessibility
- If VoiceOver is enabled, it will now be read out the answer automatically after you stop typing
- Control the delay or disable this feature from the Accessibility window (under Soulver > Integrations > Accessibility)
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug where timespans (between two dates) & plain units of time were not totalling
- Fixed a bug with multi-word variables not being recognised when another variable already exists with a partial match
- Fixed a bug where date words (like "today") after slash comments could affect the answer
- Fixed an issue where adding up rates would not display in terms of the larger of the units used

- For countries that span multiple time zones, the time zone of the country's capital city will be used

Major Update
Soulver has become even more useful in this release, with the addition of time zone conversions (by city or code), laptime support (HH:MM:SS), random number generation & if statements. This update also introduces "QuickSoulver" for doing quick calculations in Soulver, or anywhere in the system (via the menu bar, or global hotkey).
QuickSoulver
- Perform "throwaway" calculations in a Spotlight-like interface
- QuickSoulver floats above other windows, so you can use it from anywhere in macOS
- Access QuickSoulver from the menu bar (enable this in the QuickSoulver preference pane)
- Global hotkey (set the hotkey in the QuickSoulver preference pane)
Keystrokes:
- ⌘C (with no selection) copies the current line's answer & dismisses
- ⌘S saves as a new sheet
Time zone conversions
- Convert times between time zones using city names or standard 3 or 4 letter codes (e.g "6pm Sydney to Chicago", "2am PST to GMT")
- Added functions for getting the current time in a time zone: "Time in AEST", "PDT time", "Paris time", "Time in Tokyo"
- Added a function for getting the time difference between time zones: "time difference between Seattle and Moscow"
- 61 time zone codes & 500 city names are supported
- No internet connection required
Laptimes
- Do calculations in 'laptimes' (time in the format HH:MM:SS). I.e "03:45:32 + 01:22:19" (= 05:07:51).
- Laptimes can also be converted to/from regular units of time, and timespans.
- Milliseconds (after a final dot) can be omitted. Hours and minutes must still be specified (e.g 32 seconds will be '00:00:32'). This is necessary to distinguish a lap time from a clock time.
Random numbers
- New random number generating function: "random number between 1 and 10" to select a random integer in the given range
- To generate a random floating point number, do: "random number between 0 and 1" (the answer will be something like 0.1273981722)
Multipliers
- Added a multiplier specifier (e.g "4/2 as multiplier" = 2x)
ISO8601 date formatting
- Added an ISO8601 specifier for dates and timestamps (e.g "1583398800 as iso8601" = 2020-03-05T09:00:00Z)
If statements
- Added conditionals to Soulver. The syntax is "if x then y else z". The else component is optional. See the online documentation for more detailed examples.
- Added standard comparison operators (==, !=, <, >, <=, >=) and a boolean type ('true' or 'false')
Files & sheets
- Making a new Soulver file no longer requires the file to be saved to disk before editing
- You can now open Soulver 2 files using the Open dialog (⌘O). As a result the import menu item has been been removed. You still import from the Open dialog, by clicking "Options" and ticking the checkbox
Totals
- When totalling lines with incompatible types, the bottom-most summable lines will be added and shown in the final total
- The quick total now respects your chosen font, rather than using the system font
URL Schemes
- Added a new URL to open a specific sheet. To make a URL for opening a sheet, control-click on the sheet in the sidebar, and choose "Copy Link", or from the "Sheet" menu.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug that broke variable peeking (holding down shift and hovering over a variable to see its value on that line)
- Fixed a multi-line text editing bug, where a phantom answer could remain on an emptied line (thanks Tim!)
- Mod now works with numbers with units too
Localizations
- Improvements to the Russian & German localizations (thanks Michael & Matthias!)
improved
fixed
Minor improvements:
- You can now omit the "to/as" in unit conversions. I.e: "10 USD CAD" will now work
- In addition & subtraction with mixed units, where the units share a common base unit, the answer will now be in terms of the larger unit rather than the last unit. I.e "10 km + 100 m" (= 10.1 km)
- Added support for numbers in scientific notation "e" syntax . I.e: "1e3" (= 1,000)
Bug fixes:
This version fixes the following issues:
- A bug where the results of certain feet/inch calculations were being formatted incorrectly
- A bug where you could not successfully enter dot separated dates with the Western European region settings, while automatic thousands separator insertion was enabled
- A bug where variables with units were not being recognized in certain phrase functions
- An issue that affected currencies expressed with both a symbol and a code (i.e '$100 USD', where $ could refer to another currency in your region, like AUD/CAD/NZD)
- An issue where variable declarations with units of currency will no longer be rounded to 2 dp
