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)

  • 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
