Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2020-b08ff20221

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : nickle
Product : Fedora 32
Version : 2.86
Release : 1.fc32
URL :

Summary : A programming language-based prototyping environment
Description :
Nickle is a programming language based prototyping environment with
powerful programming and scripting capabilities. Nickle supports a
variety of datatypes, especially arbitrary precision numbers. The
programming language vaguely resembles C. Some things in C which do
not translate easily are different, some design choices have been made
differently, and a very few features are simply missing.
Nickle provides the functionality of UNIX bc, dc and expr in
much-improved form. It is also an ideal environment for prototyping
complex algorithms. Nickle's scripting capabilities make it a nice
replacement for spreadsheets in some applications, and its numeric
features nicely complement the limited numeric functionality of
text-oriented languages such as AWK and PERL.

Update Information:
This release has just a couple of changes: 1) Improving accuracy of exp() with
small values. Small values were getting truncated to zero. 2) Stop relying
on C's 'common' data allocation mechanism. There were a couple of
variables
defined in two .c files which needed to be marked 'extern' in one. This
fixes compiling nickle with GCC version 10.
