I updated the physical calculator with no problem but the connectivity kit and virtual calculator show no updates. The FTP site doesn't have the updates either.

Hello,
A system in the backend web stuff caused the files to appear early, and some old ones to show up as well. That is also why you don't see the emulator.
I suspect the files will be disappearing until the intended release date shortly.

I fired up Windows 7 on Parallels on my MacBook Pro today and when I opened up the HP Connectivity Kit, I was greeted with the message that updates were available for both the Connectivity Kit and my Prime.
I agreed to perform the update, and the Connectivity Kit updated. All good.
I performed a backup on my Prime, and proceeded with the Prime update. All good.
I attached a picture of my Prime information, FYI.

EDIT:
My Connectivity Kit says: Build: 2016 4 14. Rev: 10077. So, it must not have actually done any update, even though I swear it said one was available and it did two downloads and seemed to perform an update on the Connectivity Kit first.

On HP's ftp:// side I can't see anymore the new 2016-08-29 software. Only ConKit 2016-04-14, but that's also an old one.
HP what are you doing, get we the same troubles as the last 2016-04-14 updates?

I don't think release 20160829 was meant as an "official public release." As such, I don't read anything, pro or con, about that release. Since r10077, the Hp folks have captured lots of issues, as mentioned in the various forums, and so I hope an "official" release will be quite an improvement! Now if they could only do something about those key legends, (for early adopters), this would become the "it" machine, for today's state of the art!

I think also it isn't an official public release. Maybe something like a RC? :-)
However, I tried to install it in two Prime's with no particular issues (in one of them I had to perform "pinhole reset" to get it working, but then all was ok).
For now this (un-official) release could be "better than none" :-)

Hello,
Generally, most companies release files/updates in the early part of the work week with the idea being that "if something goes wrong, the support team will be available to help customers with problems and actions to pull files can be taken should something be seriously wrong". If you push out the files/updates near the end of the week, chances increase that there is no support available due to being the weekend.
These files were published early (and only partially) for some reason. It looks like the back end system handling this has fixed the problem for now by removing the files.

Hi Tim,
I get it that this "update" was probably not yet meant to be. Do you know if there is anything that I should be concerned about, since I performed the update? Should I be looking to revert to 8151?
Thanks,

No, and no. Enjoy it a bit early.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for your reply, I think I understand your answer!
So, next Monday is early in the week, I expect to see the new update again on HP's ftp side.
RE: New firmware version date 20160829 - Eddie W. Shore - 09-04-2016 04:05 PM
I'll wait until the next official version to update my blog. I think the 10077 is still available.
RE: New firmware version date 20160829 - Dirk.nl - 09-05-2016 03:14 PM
Hi all,
Can someone send me the new firmware 2016 08 29 (10637) to me.
I'm going, for my holiday, next Saturday to France. I want to update, if possible, just before that.
France, what a beautiful country, with nice people!

The usual ftp site now has the 20160829 calculator firmware and Connectivity Kit but still no virtual calculator update.
