Great set of new features, I really like the way CATALOG is now organized.
But...

Breaking backward compatibility ! Really ?? This is something I never expected from Free42. And its a showstopper for me to use the big stack because with it I cannot trust anymore the programs in Free42.
Once you enable the big stack mode you can still run any of the programs you have in Free42 (or in your DM42 once this update will be implemented) including any of the huge HP42/41 library, but nothing will tell you which ones are compatible with the big stack mode, and for the ones that are not you may get an unexpected error message or, worse, a wrong result without any warning.
