Public Beta Availiable (v2) - Win/Mac/Android/iOS/Firmware

[Tim Wessman]

Hello,

The HP Calculator group is happy to be able to push out the second set of beta files. The date will be 2017.11.15 on them with a revision approximately around 13012. They will not all match that revision perfectly.

If you are just hearing about this public beta for the first time, I recommend looking at the original announcement thread for details and discussion.

Note that the primary reason to be pushing this out right now is that we have versions that have been uploaded for iOS/Android beta test as well and are currently sitting in the queue waiting for approval. Once that happens, you should receive a notification in the normal way for those platforms.

If you desire to test an iOS or Android version, please communicate to calcbeta@hp.com with your email ID and type of app store. We can add you in and you will receive a notice for the app when available in the future. If you already received test versions in the past, you will still be in the list I believe and do not need to request again.

Note that the "version" information in the different versions maybe be slightly off (simply due to timing on the builds), but all should be approximately r13012 or so. I wanted to keep the firmware/win/mac versions in sync closer to the iOS/Android ones that were just uploaded.

Quote:Some changes since the first set of beta files:

1. Added feature: (this was very close before, but not quite ready. Should be now)
a. Added →Qπ function
b. modified the [a b/c] key in Home to cycle through this value first

FIXED ISSUES:
1. Modifed WAIT(0) to not time out at 60s, but timeout 100ms before TOff auto power off time
2. CAS error cursor positioning not taking lines into account. now will put cursor at right spot in source. Should help with debugging #cas #end blocks in a source file.
3. fix for simplify(sqrt(2)*(cos(x)^2+sin(x)^2))
4. Sorted the items in the "Catalog" section in the Help Tree.
5. ON-ESC then HELP then ON-ESC again caused problem.
6. Alpha on triangle animation in opening startup screen not correct
7. Line plot ignoring frequencies. Bar shouldn't be allowing them.
8. Fix for -- and ++ being inconsitent in the CAS. Would confuse with increment, decrement operators. Now will check if -- or ++ followed by a number, and then convert as appropriate rather then just erroring.
9. Worked on help items. Still undergoing work to correct issues discovered and reported so I don't have the full list yet. If you reported it already to the email and don't see it yet, please wait. Thanks!
