Due to a reported problem with the configure script, I updated the source tarball of FisicaLab, included the Mac package. Now the current package is numbered 0.3.5-1. Sorry for the inconveniences.

I'm glad to announce the release of GNU FisicaLab 0.3.5
FisicaLab [1], can be pronounced as PhysicsLab, is an educational
application to solve physics problems. Its main objective is let the user
to focus in physics concepts, leaving aside the mathematical details
(FisicaLab take care of them).
In this version I added a module to handle tables of properties, for the moment
this only handle properties for water, but is the base for future modules of
thermodynamics and fluids. This took more time that I thought, but now is ready.
So now there is a new entry at menu that launch a window where you can calculate
the properties of water (saturated, compressed and superheated). I also
fix some bugs:
equations. This causes that some problems can be solved with some parameters,
but not with others.
have the same behaviour on this platform.
This new version is also available as a binary package for GNU/Linux i686 and
for GNU/Linux x86_64. There is also a self contained installer for Windows and
a source tarball for Mac OS X. I didn’t tested this package since I don’t have
a Mac. But in theory should work.
The documentation of FisicaLab is now on line [2] and in addition I added some
videos [3]. For the moment these are available only in English. And, beforehand,
apologies if you don’t understand my English :)
I also want to thank the people who have donated to the project. In this version
the first time you launch FisicaLab it will display a window with a brief
description of FisicaLab where we encourage you to donate to the project.
So enjoy FisicaLab and if you have feedback or found bugs, use the corresponding
mailing lists.

WHAT IS IT
==========
FisicaLab (can be pronounced as PhysicsLab) is an educational application to solve physics problems. Its main objective is let the user to focus in physics concepts, leaving aside the mathematical details (FisicaLab take care of them). This allows the user to become familiar with the physical concepts without running the risk of getting lost in mathematical details. And so, when the user gain confidence in applying physical concepts, will be better prepared to solve the problems by hand (with pen and paper).
WHAT NEWS?
==============
This is a bugfix release:
* Fix a problem with the data viewer (a table view).
* Fix some problems in English interface.

What's new?
===========
This is a review version that brings improvements to work with the
latest GNUstep packages and take advantage of new additions. Among
these improvements are:
* Fixed bugs.
* Improved application performance.
* Menu in window to GNU/Linux, *BSD (see screenshots at website)
* Corrections to the menu in Windows 7 (now works fine).
* Reimplementation of the help panel according to changes in
GNUstep (The previous panel doesn't work properly with recent packages).
This bug occurs at submodule static of rigid bodies when the user put an unavailable conversion factor. Wanting to get the answer FísicaLab not show anything, and stay pressed the Solve button. With a click on the Delete all button, Solve button return to its normal state. But of course, deletes all elements of the problem. To avoid this, make sure that the used conversions are available.
FísicaLab 0.2 released.
