Major Update
Soulver 3.9
Platforms
- Support for macOS 14 Sonoma & iPadOS 17
Automatic Conversions in QuickSoulver
- Common unit conversions are automatically performed for you for single unit expressions
- For example, "500 s" (= 8 minutes 20 seconds), "21 miles" (= 33.8 km), "31 C (= 87.8 F)", etc
- Hex & binary numbers are automatically converted to decimal
- Foreign currencies are automatically converted into your Mac's local currency
Editor
- The editor can now automatically convert numbers with foreign number formats into your preferred number format when pasting
- New preference to replace the backtick (`) with the plus operator (+). If you rarely use backtick, you'll find this a much more convenient key to use for +.
- When hovering over a reference to a line that declares a variable, hold shift to show a popup with the variable's name
Currency Conversions
- You can now specify an explicit rate you'd like used for a particular currency conversion:
- Example: "50 EUR in USD at 1.05 USD/EUR"
- Or use the shorter version: "50 EUR in USD @ 1.05 USD"
Time & Date Calculations
- Add up clock times in subtotals (i.e 04:30, 19:29). Without a seconds component, these are interpreted as hours and minutes.
- Numbers that look like recent years are now ignored when typed in brackets after a currency, like "$550.00 (2022)"
- Do time zones conversions with the states/territories of the US, Canada, UK & Australia. Both the full names of states/territories and abbreviations are supported.
- Support for "time since date", "time to date" phrases
Financial Functions
- Added a quarterly variant to the compound interest function: "$1,000 for 3 years at 7% compounded quarterly" (= "$1,231.44)
Trigonometry
- Added "sind()" and "cosd()" functions that take a value in degrees (or alternatively "sin(45 degrees)", "cos(60º)")
