Free42 with IEEE 754-2008 decimal floating-point -- interested in a sneak preview?

[Thomas Okken]

While implementing the code for accurate decimal Y^X with integer exponents, I found a nasty bug that broke decimal Y^X for complex Y and negative integer exponents. I thought that was sufficiently serious to put out another release (1.5.2); it's on my web site now. It also includes the sin(45°) = cos(45°) fix, and the improved decimal Y^X and 10^X.

N.B. The bug in Y^X for complex Y and negative integer X is only in Free42 Decimal 1.5 and 1.5.1. Older decimal versions are OK, as is 1.5.2. The binary versions never had this bug.
