New dimensions: data and volume

SensibleUnits.com can now convert units of volume, such as litres, tablespoons, barrels, cups and cubic miles.

This is fortunate, because if one more person had asked me why it didn't convert litres, I may have gone insane.

Additionally, the site now understands units of data, like gigabytes or megabits. It converts them to things like DVDs, MP3s, Bibles and libraries of congress. Thanks to all the Americans who wrote in to make sure I included that last one.

Other recent changes:

  • A few larger-scale distances (e.g. 1 parsec) have been added.
  • When no results are given, a suggestion box now appears.
  • The auto-suggest list disappears and results are immediately calculated when any unit symbol is entered (e.g. "m" or "kg").
