---------------
gcalctool (5.27.3-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (LP: #387668)
    - Percentage operation for addition and subtraction now takes percentage of
      first value (Robert Ancell, Bug #480207) (LP: #328094)
    - Use correct UTF-8 mathematical characters (Robert Ancell, Bug #347630)
    - Focus on the display entry by default
    - Fix broken widget style. Copy gcalctoolrc to ~/.gcalctoolrc to get coloured buttons.
    - Fix missing icon in Help>Contents menu
    - Updated translations: nb (Kjartan Maraas), ta (drtvasudevan)
