I'm proud to annouce the Abacus release as Free Software.

Abacus is the first release as free software. Abacus is a calculator that calculates while you type. The interface is a two paned text editor where you can write simple mathematical on the left side. The answer appears in the right pane.

Currently the source code is available as a Git repository on GitHub. See the Abacus homepage for more information and the link. This is a change in the license only. No new features where added.

Abacus is written in C# using MonoDevelop and can be compiled on all platforms for which Mono and MonoDevelop are available including Windows and Linux.

For future releases I would like to create build files that don't require MonoDevelop and binaries for Windows and Linux. I could use some help with that.
