Announcing GNU bc-1.08.1 and dc-1.5.1

Announcing the release of bc-1.08.1, and its bundled dc-1.5.1.
This release fixes some small bugs noticed in the 1.08.0 release
(see below for details).

GNU bc and dc are arbitrary precision calculators.  GNU bc uses a
more traditional algebraic notation, and somewhat C-like function
definitions; the behavior is largely specified by POSIX.2.  GNU dc
uses so-called "reverse-Polish notation (RPN) and macro recursion;
there is no formal specification, but it should be compatible with
traditional implementations of dc.

This release can be downloaded from
   https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bc/bc-1.08.1.tar.gz  (448 KiB)
or
   https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bc/bc-1.08.1.tar.xz  (323 KiB)
and all of the usual mirrors thereof (see https://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html
for a list, or use https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/bc/ to be automatically
redirected to one).


Changes in bc from 1.08.0 to 1.08.1.
    Fix a formatting botch in doc/bc.1 (which was rendered as blank lines
      at the top of the page).

Changes in dc 1.5.0 to 1.5.1.
    Fix dependency rule in dc/Makefile.am (was causing build problems
      on some systems).
    Add missing close-" in the .TH line of dc.1.
