Unit conversion tool and library written in rust
Rink has been updated to New SI in #157. This changes several fundamental physical constants to now have exact definitions, rather than experimentally measured ones. Included in this change are updates to several CODATA constants, 4 new SI prefixes, as well as updating the definition of the parsec to the 2015 IAU resolution.
The binary size of Rink is now smaller, by as much as half, changed in #163. Rink now links to the system libcurl when possible, instead of using reqwest.
Rink now has a set of manpages, intended to be installed as part of distro packages. The definitions.units
and other files can now be installed to a location like /usr/share/rink
as well. The documentation is now stored in-repo in the docs/ directory, which makes pull requests to the docs possible going forward. See PACKAGING.md for how to build and install these. Added in #158.
Rink now supports several additional operators: <<
logical shift left, >>
logical shift right, mod
modulo/remainder, and
bitwise and, or
bitwise or, xor
bitwise exclusive-or. (#161)
Recurring digits are now detected and displayed automatically. This change also made the default behavior of to digits
show up to 1000 digits, as most numbers will be rendered significantly shorter, and usually you want the extra precision. Added in #162.
> 1/17 to digits
0.[0588235294117647, period 16]... (dimensionless)
Invalid dates should no longer cause Rink to crash. (#160)
Trig functions like sin()
should now handle units correctly. (#164)
Converting to GB
is now interpreted as gigabytes, not a British timezone. (#129)
Specific heat is no longer expressed in terms of gray
, which is the SI unit of ionizing radiation. (#13)
Rink's website has been updated. It now contains documentation, releases, and an updated web version of Rink.
The web version is now a proper REPL, so the page contains the history of queries you ran. It also has a number of usability improvements like keeping the input bar focused, up/down arrows to access history, and a progress indicator on downloading the WASM blob on slow connections.
The git tag for this release is signed with my GPG key. I'll try doing this going forward.

Fixes errors when downloading currency data (#92). This was caused by trying to rename a file across filesystems.
This release only includes the CLI, 0.6.0 is still the current version for rink-core and rink-web.
Previously, Rink fetched currency by separately hitting blockchain.info and the European Central Bank. The ECB's servers in particular can be quite slow to respond, often several seconds. Now, currency data is fetched by hitting this endpoint: https://rinkcalc.app/data/currency.json, which returns both the bitcoin and ECB data. This should be significantly faster than the old endpoints, although it may depend on your location.
If you use rinkcalc.app, that tends to track master rather than releases like this one.
