New Version: 2.0.0.13865 (2018 07 06)

[Tim Wessman]

Hello,

New versions are available on the update archive. I highly recommend just running check for update in your emulator/connkit to get the files. If your network blocks direct connection however, the direct links can be found below at "ftp.hp.com/pub/calculators/Prime/". FTP protocol access appears to not yet be blocked, but who knows when they will turn that off (I've been getting notices about FTP protocol being blocked "soon" for quite some time)

HP Prime Connectivity Kit Installer - Windows
HP Prime Virtual Calculator Installer - Windows
HP Prime Connectivity Kit DMG - macOS
HP Prime Virtual Calculator DMG - macOS
HP Prime Calculator Firmware

This update fixes some outstanding issues, and lays some groundwork for some upcoming things. There are a few new things this time however.

There are no updates for applications on iOS/Android/Windows Store at this time.

Description
-----------
This maintenance release of the Prime Calculator firmware and associated PC software delivers fixes to outstanding issues. This document is not a complete list of all changes, but highlights specific items. All users of the HP Prime calculator are encouraged to upgrade for the best possible experience.

Please back up your calculator before the update. Any existing data on the device may be wiped during the update process.



New Functionality and Changes (Calculator Software)
1. ROUND and TRUNC now interpret DMS inputs in a more expected manner (e.g. ROUND(45°29′57.7″,4) ----> 45°29′58″ )
2. Numeric only PRODUCT function created which helps reduce change of symbolic results in unexpected places such as Sequence app
3. INPUT previously had issues with local variables being given as input. Place EVAL( ) around your definition to programmatically create INPUT boxes.
LOCAL a:= { ... }; INPUT(EVAL(a));
4. Power below 10% will now display a red critical icon in the title bar.
5. Integration when done from HOME or in an app will now always numerically evaluate rather than symbolically. This will help prevent unanticipated results when a simple numeric answer is expected
6. Added a TDim variable to control screen dim time - default is 30 seconds
7. CAS updated to later version with many improvements and fixes:
a. Improves symmetrical numeric integrals (e.g. inputs like ∫(normald(0,1,X),X,-10000.,10000.); )
b. Implemented subdiagonal extraction with diag(matrix,index)
c. Implemented hamdist(list,list) in addition to int,int
d. Handles things like ∫(e^(-x^2-i*t*x),x,-∞,∞) directly
e. gramschmidt now accepts 0 as optional 2nd argument if 1st arg is a matrix to avoid normalization
f. Implemented support for replace(string,string,string)

New Functionality and Changes (Connectivity Kit)
1. Closes update windows automatically upon completion
2. Unzips firmware file to new location inside "<Documents>\HP Connectivity Kit\Firmware"


Resolved issues and changes excluding CAS
-----------------------------------------
1. Resolved issue with colors not saving properly after exiting Notes
2. Resolved issue with ARC colors if the angle_1<0 and angle_2>pi
3. Resolved issue with nested loops containing a CAS internal function not working (e.g. Σ calling a CAS function inside)
4. Resolved issue with DIMGROB only working with 16bit color but not 32bit
5. Resolved issue with clicking at very end of Chars browser
6. Resolved issue with Solve app not working with user defined variables as expected

Resolved issues and changes in CAS
----------------------------------
1. Resolved issue with permuorder([3,8,6,5,4,1,2,7])
2. Resolved issue with complex_mode and cZeros
3. Resolved issue with int(sin(x),x,0,inf)
4. Resolved issue with solve ∫(e^(-a*x^2+b*x+c)*polynomial,x,-∞,∞)
5. Resolved issue with a:=x *(x - (exp(x) - exp(-x)) / 2 / ((exp(1) - exp(-1)) / 2)); b:=int(a); simplify(diff(b)-a);
6. Resolved issue with assume(x,integer); additionally(x>0); solve(x^2=2);
7. Resolved issue with ∫(sin(x^2),x) in degree mode
8. Resolved issue with ∫(e^x*sin(x^2),x)
9. Resolved issue with approximate integrals with identical lower and upper boundaries
10. Resolved issue with randperm(-5)
