Scientific notation support about jace

[pieterderycke]

support for scientific notation added in the dev branch

[nikkjazz]

I'm using JacePxd (0.9.0) from NUGet in VB.NET. Evaluating strings containing scientific notation throws an error:

Could not evaluate string '(133.6954*1.99840144432528E-15)'
Error details: Unexpected floating point constant "133.6954" found.

Any idea what might be causing this?

Would it be possible to try this with the regular Jace.NET (you find the latest version on NuGet). JacePxd is a fork; hence I cannot really give support for that fork.

I've struggled to get this installed. The error I get is:

Error |   | Could not install package 'Jace 0.9.3'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.5', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.

Issue with installing Jace 0.9.3 sorted, I was able to get my project running successfully.

Initial testing though suggests a big drop off in performance. Complex calculations (with several thousands of calls) that are currently executing in c. 14secs in Jace-Pxd (0.9.0) are taking c. 20 secs in Jace 0.9.3. I'll do some more controlled benchmarks to validate before reporting back.

Would it possible for this performance issue to create a dedicated issue? this performance issue has nothing to do with the scientific notation. its for better follow-up

Will do.
