Public Beta Availiable - Win/Firmware
Hello,
While you can post in forums such as this at your discretion, we ask that the primary way of reporting be to send reports to calcbeta@hp.com. Basically, the goal is avoid disruption or annoyance to other forum participants. You can pop up a pre-populated email template by clicking the "Report Issue" menu item in the programs themselves. Currently there are some issues around the Mac build being resolved and also android/ios. This beta is different then others done in the past. There has been a disruption for many reasons in our prior development, and there is a slew of many changes and features that had been worked on and are in various stages of completeness. Some might be 100% done and good, but lacking some documentation. Some might be functional ans mostly done, just needing debugging. Some were experimental. Some might be utterly not yet done. We ask you to play around with it and really help find out what you like, dislike, is good, is broken, etc so we can try to get things stabilized and ready for release as soon as possible. This is in essence a much earlier snapshot then things that have been released publicly in the past. Maybe if things go well we can continue doing things like this. Special thank you to Eric Rechlin at hpcalc.org for hosting the files for us. http://www.hpcalc.org/prime/beta/ More complete release notes and some documentation can be found at: https://www.hpcalc.org/prime/beta/betanotes.zip Cyrille's first thread: https://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-16643.html Have fun! **Note that the revisions and dates may not be 100% correct. Some information in the notes may not be correct and changed later as we tweaked stuff. There were lots of changes made, but many a long time back and may be not fully baked yet... just go with it Lots of changes in program editor (apps or programs). (open MORE menu in program editor, UI not great, but functional)

- I've installed the new Connectivity kit - I've installed the new Virtual calculator But how do I get this new OS image on my calculator? |

I found it: - Open the Connectivity Kit's working folder, which on Windows would be C:/Users/username/Documents/HP Connectivity Kit - Navigate down to ./Firmware/PrimeG2/ - Remove the files present and replace these with HPPrime_OS.img and the version file from the zip. (The other files in the zip are not up to date and add to confusion) - Restart the Connectivity Kit and connect your Prime - The upgrade will be offered promptly |

RE: Public Beta Availiable - Win/Firmware
It is undoubtedly the most important update in recent years, many limitations have been broken and it seems that its use will be even more practical. Wonderful renewing decision.

RE: Public Beta Availiable - Win/Firmware
One of the biggest area for testing is the new programming part. Basically, you can make a "project" now with multiple sources, binary data, constants, images, etc and they are all kept nicely together and packaged. Should help quite a bit...

RE: Public Beta Availiable - Win/Firmware
Hello,
my first words about it: THANKS!!!! i don't know how it was possible to work on separate projects and on this BETA; however from the relaease notes i can see that you were able to work on different things and some of them were user requests. Good for Python; i don't have other excuses now not to study Python... I smiled when i saw the USB commands...i think this come from the last experiences of Cyrille as he explained in a speech not so long time ago... Thanks for the update; this will for sure revive the interest of a lot of people on this platform. Giancarlo |

RE: Public Beta Availiable - Win/Firmware
I’ll post in the beta comment area that TW referred to, but I am wondering if this was the case before the update. In CAS, I can get an answer for ~170!, but for >170!, the approximation brings up +inf. In home, I can get a result for every choice up through 253! Curious as to if this is unique to the beta update, and why there is a difference in behavior with this between home and CAS.

Updated this morning, Dutch time. Edit I think version 2.1.14542 is an HP internal update (with bugs and additions) that has not yet been published. We'll have to wait and see when it becomes available on the Beta site. Is that correct Cyrille and Tim? — Dirk Hartland |

RE: Public Beta Availiable - Win/Firmware
With KhiCAS on the TI Nspire CX II offering the complete XCAS of desktop flavours of XCAS, I'm hoping Bernard will be free to port KhiCAS to the Prime now that it features a MicroPython interpreter.
Whatever else you can say about the TI Nspire, KhiCAS is a powerhouse that can be programmed in native XCAS scripting, interpreted Python commands or full-on MicroPython. I have a personal preference for native XCAS scripting as it's very 'C' like and fast. It seems a tad ironic that the Nspire currently features a more powerful implementation of XCAS than that on an HP calculator; given Bernard's history with HP. As long as any HP KhiCAS implementation is clearly documented as providing different IO & programming functionality to the default Prime XCAS UX, I'm sure they could coexist quite happily, and more importantly, provide end-users with far greater flexibility. If it were to integrate with the Primes graphical routines all the better! |
