HP Prime Beta Firmware Version 2.2 Revision 15008

[jte]

What are the changes in this new version?

Some bugs were fixed; the HP Prime Virtual Calculator was brought up to version 2.2 — so it lines up better with the current firmware. (For details there, please see the release notes for the 2.2 firmware.) The new update server location will automatically be used with version 2.2 of the HP Prime Virtual Calculator and the HP Connectivity Kit.

        scrambled characters to the end of the file. [PBT220]

Piotr ("komame", here) has been great at filing tickets in the bug tracker — a good chunk of the issues addressed by the 2.2 update of the HP Connectivity Kit were connected with tickets he filed. (He's filed many more tickets, but the topic here is the recent HP Connectivity Kit and HP Prime Virtual Calculator update. He's been putting Python through its paces…)
