Release Notes

This major release updates the code from using a java Double internally to store the stacks to using BigDecimal. This will allow for extremely large numbers to be used even though Double does provide for large numbers.

Given this change, RPNCalc now supports entering and using scientific notation. Please consider this addition experimental as it will need a lot more testing. I know that NumOps don't currently work with them and I'm sure there are other areas that will run into trouble. I need to add scientific notation testing to all of my automated tests.

On the plus side, this change will let me add more science based constants as well as a factorial command. Please let me know of any issues in the GitHub "Issues" tab.
