+Changes from TTMath 0.8.3 relating to TTCalc:
+    * fixed:   Big::Add incorrectly rounded 'this' when both exponents were equal
+               it caused that sometimes when adding a zero the result has changed
+               this had impact among other things on FromString() method
+               "0,8" had different binary representation from "0,80"
+    * fixed:   Big::Pow(const Big<exp, man> & pow)
+               it's using PowInt() only when pow.exponent is in range (-man*TTMATH_BITS_PER_UINT; 0]
+               previously the powering 'hung' on an input like this: "(1+ 1e-10000) ^ 10e100000000"
+               (there was 10e100000000 iterations in PowInt())
+    * fixed:   in function DegToRad(const ValueType & x, ErrorCode * err = 0) it is better
+               to make division first and then mutliplication -- the result is more
+               accurate especially when x is: 90,180,270 or 360
+    * fixed:   the parser didn't correctly treat operators for changing the base
+               (radix) -- operators '#' and '&', e.g.:
+               '#sin(1)' was equal '0' -- there was a zero from '#' and then
+               it was multiplied by 'sin(1)'
+               the parser didn't check whether Big::FromString() has actually
+               read a proper value -- the method Big::FromString() didn't have
+               something to report such a situation
+    * fixed:   Big::FromString() when the base is 10, the method reads the scientific
+               part only if such a part it correctly supplied, e.g:
+               '1234e10', '1234e+10', '1234e-5'
+               previous '1234e' was treated as: '1234e0' (now parsing stops on 'e' and
+               the 'e' can be parsed by other parsers, e.g. the mathematical
+               parser -- now in the parser would be: '1234e' = '1234 * e' = '3354,3597...' )
+    * changed: in the parser: the form with operators '#' and '&' is as follows:
+               [-|+][#|&]numeric_value
+               previous was: [-|+][#|&][-|+]numeric_value
+    * changed: the parser is allowed to recognize values which
+               begin with a dot, e.g '.5' is treated as '0.5'
+    * added:   functions to the parser: gradtorad(grad), radtograd(rad), degtograd(deg),
+               degtograd(d,m,s), gradtodeg(grad)
+    * added:   a short form of multiplication
+               (without the '*' character) e.g. '5y'
+               (it's used only if the second parameter is a variable
+               or function)
