Release 0.7.12 "Multiply" - Multiple equations

[c3d]

This release focuses on the equation solver, notably in interaction with the equation library. The goal is to get one step closer to the equation library in the HP50G, including the ability to have graphical illustration and multiple equations.

WARNING: The pictures that are integrated in the help are not correctly packaged in this release
