A new release is available. A copy of the source code (without the additional graphing code specific to the XO) and a version you can run from a normal personal computer browser, is on this page. It is not available in .xo form yet, but you can watch the SEETA: SocialCalc on Sugar page for more information about that.

This release has code that should optimize the save files somewhat. The sheet extents are more likely to include just the part that has data. Previously there were cases where deleted cells made the program think the sheet was larger than it really was. It also "canonicalizes" the saved data in other ways, such as removing no longer used formats and color definitions from the save file. Some input forms, such as "-", that were incorrectly treated as numbers, are now treated as text. Some other minor bugs were fixed.

A major new release is available. A copy of the source code (without the additional graphing code specific to the XO) and a version you can run from a normal personal computer browser, is on this page. It is not available in .xo form yet, but you can watch the SEETA: SocialCalc on Sugar page for more information about that.

The main changes in this release, earning it a bump of the version number, is that it much more fully supports localization, especially of text in the user interface. All of the text that is normally seen during operation should now be easily localizable by changing a single file, socialcalcconstants.js. This version also fixes a few minor bugs.

A major new release is available. For OLPC XO and Sugar users, go to SEETA: SocialCalc on Sugar for links to the .xo file and more information about version 0.8.3g. A copy of the source code (without the additional graphing code specific to the XO) and a version you can run from a normal personal computer browser, is on this page.

This version fixes many bugs, and adds lots of new features, including a function dialog box, a link dialog box, a multi-line input dialog box, improved vertical scrolling, improved Format tab with many more formats, Ctrl-C and -Z keyboard shortcuts, and a better UI for graphs and an API for adding graphs. It fixes a bug with conditionals in custom formats and with the argument prompt for VLOOKUP, and it fixes a bug special characters in custom values, such as number format definitions.

The simple demo graphing system that was in older versions of SocialCalc is turned off in 0.7.9 (all versions). Instead it shows the beginning of some of the UI of a future graphing system, but it is not hooked up to anything to do graphing. If anybody needs the old system (which was very poor -- it was just a demo) please let me know. There is a one line patch to turn it back on.

A new release is available. It just fixes the blank sheet missing scrollbars bug. It is available at: http://tinyurl.com/sc-0-7-9c

Follow the directions for deleting old versions and reinstalling SocialCalc on the main Software Garden OLPC page.

In 0.7.9b, when you start from scratch with no data, the scrollbars are not displayed. Once you enter data or scroll around with the arrow keys they show up and all is well. This will be fixed soon.

A new release is available which fixes the font-reloading problem. It is available at: http://tinyurl.com/sc-0-7-9b

Follow the directions for deleting old versions and reinstalling SocialCalc on the main Software Garden OLPC page.

There is a problem with reloading a page that has font settings. It causes the program to hang. The saved file is in correct form -- the issue is in rendering the loaded sheet. There is a patch, and a new release will be coming.
