Release record

Calculator changelog

Material changes to formulas, result meaning, tools and documentation. Small copy or visual corrections may be omitted.
Updated September 7, 2026
Two version numbers serve different purposes.

This page tracks site releases. The core formula documentation has its own methodology version, currently v1.2.0, so a layout or guide update does not imply that the math changed.

Current release
