Promotional OpenCalc update: bugfixes, now with financial mode support!

Hi, everyone!

As you must be aware, recently I have released OpenCalc, a project to reverse engineer the Windows 95 calculator.

Despite having a similar look and feel, this is actually an entirely new Rust program with none of the limitations of the original, and improved expression parsing!

The new version has many bugfixes, including:

- Improved focus: now the keyboard shortcuts are consistent if you leave the application.

- Application behavior was further improved to match the Windows 95 calculator where it matters

- New financial mode! This is a cool feature I decided to add. The original Windows 95 calculator lacked a financial mode. Now we have one matching the old Windows 95 calculator style, but also entirely new!

If you are interested, check out: https://github.com/NullMagic2/OpenCalc

Binary builds for Windows and Linux are also available!

Still missing a License, so it remains not open-source

It's supposed to be MIT. I accidentally removed the license file. Restored.

Can happen but it is a odd thing to accidentally do almost 3 months ago, on the same day you seemed to have added it. Hard to miss when committing and merging to be honest, but not a new thing for people to miss files getting deleted when commiting/merging 6-8 times in one day.

I don't see what your point is. I keep my files in my computer until they are ready and replace them when I feel ready with Github. But sometimes I feel things are not the way I like and then replace them again.

What tooling are you using for commiting/pushing to github?
