-names when using TeX or LaTeX mode.
-
-* Added option to highlight selections using faces.
-
-* Gave `calc-histogram' the option of using a vector to determine the bins.
-
-* Added "O" option prefix.
-
-* Used "O" prefix to "d r" (`calc-radix') to turn on twos-complement mode.
-
-Emacs 23.2
-
-* Added twos-complement display.
-
-Emacs 23.1:
-
-* Gave `j *' (cal-sel-mult-both-sides) an option to expand the
- denominator.
-
-* Use `calc-embedded-word-regexp' for finding words in
- `calc-embedded-word' in place of delimiters.
-
-* Remove version numbering; use Emacs version for reference.
-
-* Added support for using registers.
-
-* Added support for Yacas, Maxima and Giac languages.
-
-* Added a menu.
