               Firmware Version: 2.4.2 BETA (revision 15622)

Description
-----------
This release heralds new versions of the macOS applications, both the HP Connectivity Kit
and the HP Prime Virtual Calculator. Substantial improvements have also been made to the
Help contents built into the HP Prime. Bugs have also been addressed, some of which
affected general system stability. Some details follow below.

macOS HP Connectivity Kit
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
 1. Firmware updates can now be downloaded using the macOS HP Connectivity Kit.
 2. Unplugging a physical HP Prime no longer causes the HP Connectivity Kit application to
    crash.
 3. The selection of colors used for syntax coloring in the program editor and in content
    editing windows has been revised; legibility while in dark mode has been improved.
    [PBT416,PBT1099]
 4. Dropping plain text files with a .hpprgm file name extension onto the HP Connectivity
    Kit no longer brings about a crash of the HP Connectivity Kit during automatic file
    conversion. Note: files with .hpprgm extensions dropped onto the HP Connectivity Kit
    should be using the HP Prime program format (which is not plain text). This automatic
    conversion convenience is not officially supported. [PBT1103,PBT1115]
 5. Portions of the application interface no longer come up transparent / undrawn when
    waking a Mac from sleep. [PBT1148]
 6. Minor adjustments to the application have been made to better follow Mac guidelines.
    [PBT113,PBT303]
 7. The application is now signed and notarized; Gatekeeper no longer blocks use. [PBT117]

macOS HP Prime Virtual Calculator
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
 1. Menu item corruption (in macOS menus and in the virtual calculator) and general
    instability no longer come about two hours after the HP Prime Virtual Calculator has
    been launched. [PBT1081,PBT1116]
 2. Unplugging a physical HP Prime no longer causes the HP Prime Virtual Calculator
    application to crash.
 3. Minor adjustments to the application have been made to better follow Mac guidelines.
    [PBT112,PBT302]
 4. The application is now signed and notarized; Gatekeeper no longer blocks use. [PBT116]

 Firmware
---------
 1. Automatic dimming on some revision D calculators had the backlight shut off
    completely; backlight timing has been adjusted.

Function App
- - - - - - -
 1. Intersections for functions whose definitions involve squaring are now reported more
    accurately. [PBT1044]

PPL
- -
 1. Program loading has been reworked so that the use of #CAS sections in PPL programs
    will not cause crashes at start up. [PBT417]
 2. Local PPL variables, on 64-bit platforms, now have consistent visibility and priority
    when passed to CAS functions. [PBT1122]
 3. Multi-file program projects that used CAS source files could bring about crashes when
    connecting calculators to connectivity kits; this has been addressed. [PBT1089]
 4. Printing to the terminal no longer prevents errors from being shown when running a
    program from the Program Catalog. [PBT155]
 5. WAIT is now interrupted by a press of ON even if the WAIT command is the last command
    in a code block. [PBT1120]
 6. INSTRING now accepts optional third and fourth parameters. The third parameter
    specifies the index that searching should start from. The fourth parameter specifies
    which occurrence of the searched-for string is to be reported on. [PBT1133]
 7. ΠLIST no longer produces an error when given a single-element list. [PBT1144]
 8. ΠLIST and ΔLIST each now allow lists to be included within their list parameter.
    [PBT1145,PBT1146]
 9. The VERSION command now allows expressions to be used for its parameter. [PBT1127]
10. LEFT now returns the entire string for negative integer length parameters. [PBT1137]
11. LEFT now returns the entire string for large integer-valued length parameters.
    [PBT1139]
12. When returning the entire string, LEFT now uses memory sharing, just as direct
    assignment does, reducing memory use. [PBT1147]
13. In a PPL function that accepts 16 parameters, those parameters can now be referenced
    without raising a syntax error. [PBT1117]
14. Running a PPL function that accepts 16 parameters from the Program Catalog now brings
    up a dialog to enter arguments, just as is the case with fewer parameters. [PBT1149]
15. Using HVars, with a second parameter of 2, on a user-defined function that accepts 16
    parameters, now returns a list of the parameter names of the user-defined function.
    [PBT1150]

Python
- - - -
 1. The Help key, when pressed in the Plot Setup view, now brings up help for the Python
    app. [PBT1128]
 2. The os.read, os.lseek, os.open, and os.close functions now verify that passed-in file
    descriptors are in range. [PBT1012]

Program Editor
- - - - - - - -
 1. Switching away from the Program Editor view while editing CAS source code could bring
    about a crash. This has been addressed. [PBT1090]
 2. Checking a program which includes empty source files could bring about a crash.
    Addressed. [PBT1088]

Description
-----------
This release introduces support for exact arithmetic involving fractions, possibly
multiplied by pi, over a limited range of rational numbers. The new numeric calculation
routines automatically switch to decimal arithmetic when numerators or denominators go
beyond the limited range (of approximately nineteen digits). Only some portions of some
numerical environments have been changed: these new routines are not used in CAS or Python
calculations, but can be used by calculations in the Home view, the Function app, or in
PPL programs.

Another notable change is that in areas where implicit multiplication is allowed, such as
within definitions in the Function app's Symbolic view, or in the Home view, the logic of
implicit multiplication has been reworked. Two examples being that "XYSIN(X)" is now
interpreted as "X*Y*SIN(X)" and "X(1+Y)" is now interpreted as "X*(1+Y)". The parsing
rules of the CAS have not been adjusted.

Details of changes follow below.

PPL Calculations
- - - - - - - - -
PPL calculations are used, by default, in the Home view and in the Function app Symbolic
view.
 1.     The power and nth root operations make use of the new exact fraction format.
    (a) A^B is now defined when A is negative and B is an exact fraction with an odd
        denominator. [PBT371]
    (b) Entering unreduced forms of exact fractional exponents no longer affects
        calculation accuracy [PBT563] nor causes calculations to inappropriately leave the
        domain of definition. [PBT564]
    (c) 0^(0/1) now produces an error. [PBT560]
    (d) A NTHROOT B with B negative and A an exact fraction with an odd numerator, with
        complex output disabled, no longer produces an error. [PBT559]
    (e) Decimal exponents, when they fit within the limits of the exact fraction
        arithmetic, are now treated as exact fractions. [PBT562]
 2.     Exact results are returned, when appropriate, by SIN, COS, TAN, CSC, SEC, and COT
        when in radians mode and the argument is an exact fraction multiplied by pi.
        [PBT216]
 3.     The differentiation logic for some functions has been reworked.
    (a) The derivative of ATANH is now defined when given X as an argument and now follows
        standard chain rule logic. [PBT642]
    (b) The derivative of NTHROOT now follows standard chain rule logic. This improves,
        for example, the plot of F1(X)=∂((X NTHROOT 2)^X,X). [PBT643]
    (c) The derivative of a SUM involving absolute values now takes into account which
        branch each evaluation falls on. An example plot improved by this change is the
        plot of F1(X)=Σ(ABS(X-K),K,1,2). [PBT644]
    (d) The derivative of the product of a sequence is no longer computed as the product
        of the derivatives of the elements of the sequence. [PBT649]
    (e) The formulas used for differentiating ACOT and ASEC have been fixed.
        [PBT645,PBT646]
 4.     Derivatives of functions are now restricted to the domain of the original
        function.
    (a) The derivatives of LN and LOG are now restricted to positive arguments [PBT30], as
        is the derivative of logb [PBT640] - even when subsequently multiplied by zero.
        [PBT647]
    (b) The derivative of ACOSH is now restricted to the domain of ACOSH. [PBT641]
    (c) The derivative of ASEC is now restricted to the domain of ASEC. [PBT646]
    (d) The derivative of TAN, COT, CSC, or SEC, when given a constant argument, is no
        longer defined when the corresponding original function is not defined. [PBT639]
    (e) The derivative of 0^0 is no longer defined. [PBT638]
 5.     The domains of some differentiated functions have been enlarged.
    (a) Derivatives of fractional powers are no longer undefined when given negative
        arguments, X^(1/3) being an example (when X is negative). [PBT637]
    (b) The derivative of X^1 is no longer undefined at zero. [PBT636]
    (c) Derivatives of factorial (!) applied to a non-negative integer value are no longer
        undefined. [PBT648]
 6.     MAX no longer potentially returns incorrect results when given a collection of
        large integer-typed (#) inputs that are relatively close to one another. [PBT565]
 7.     Complex-valued rational roots can now be computed with integer-typed (#) input.
        [PBT558]
 8.     Subtracting large floating-point numbers from nearby large integer (#) values no
        longer involves unnecessary round-off. [PBT566]
 9.     #0 ^ #-1 now produces an error. [PBT573]
10.     TRUNCATE applied to large degree-minute-second numbers no longer erroneously cuts
        digits from the center. [PBT576]
11.     If complex output is enabled, ATANH can now produce complex output when given an
        integer-typed (#) argument. [PBT582]
12.     ROUND applied to complex degree-minute-second numbers now carries forward the
        degree-minute-second presentation. [PBT584]
13.     MAX no longer considers, in isolation, portions of the real and imaginary
        components of a complex matrix input. [PBT588,PBT589]
14.     ROUND no longer erroneously rounds down instead of up on certain
        degree-minute-second numbers. [PBT593]
15.     Implicit multiplication has been improved.
    (a) Implicit multiplication may now occur after a variable and before an open
        parenthesis. [PBT22]
    (b) Implicit multiplication may now occur after a variable and before e^. [PBT66]
    (c) The relative precedence of NOT and implicit multiplication has been made
        consistent. [PBT602]
    (d) A bug has been fixed where middle variables were being dropped in inputs involving
        chained implicit multiplications; for example, "XY Z" is now interpreted as X*Y*Z
        rather than X*Z. [PBT603]
    (e) Re-entering the shown interpretation, using explicit multiplications, of
        expressions involving implicit multiplications could produce new interpretations.
        For example, "NOT 𝝅(0)" was being interpreted as NOT 𝝅*(0), but an entry of "NOT
        𝝅*(0)" was interpreted as (NOT 𝝅)*(0). This is no longer the case. [PBT604]
16.     The SUM of fractional powers of X no longer has inappropriately reduced domains.
        Σ(X^(K/3),K,1,3), for example, now agrees with X^(1/3)+X^(2/3)+X^(3/3). [PBT651]
17.     Computing SUM with an undefined summand no longer potentially causes a crash.
        [PBT652]
18.     Exact results for expressions involving simple fractions, such as 1/3*3, are now
        produced automatically. Exact results also allow for identical computed decimal
        results to be shown for equivalent expressions, such as COMB(16,8)*(1/3)^8*(2/3)^8
        and BINOMIAL(16,(1/3),8). [PBT58]
19.     The accuracy of CSC and SEC have been slightly improved for some arguments.
        Examples include CSC(25) and SEC(8). [PBT953,PBT954]
20.     FLOOR and CEILING now operate componentwise on complex arguments. [PBT937,PBT938]
21.     Signed #integer values entered with a value of -2^k, k being the integer's number
        of bits, are now displayed with a stated numeric value corresponding to -2^k
        instead of being displayed as -0. Note: operations that combined such-entered
        values with non-#integer types treated the entry as having a value of -2^k. Also:
        entering an #integer with -0 used to specify the value component did and does
        result in the same integer being stored as is the case with a use of a non-negated
        0. [PBT936]
22.     The accuracy of SIN, COS, TAN, CSC, SEC, and COT for #integer arguments with
        numerical values greater than 10^12 has been improved for both degree and gradian
        angle modes. [PBT958,PBT960]

PPL Programming
- - - - - - - -
 1.     WAIT(-1) on G1 calculators no longer returns immediately. [PBT83]
 2.     TICKS now returns monotonically nondecreasing values on G1 calculators (until
        wraparound). [PBT261]
 3.     The TICKS command on G2 calculators now returns the value of the internal clock in
        milliseconds, as described in the documentation, rather than 1/1024ths of a
        second. [PBT671]
 4.     FOR loops iterating over non-floating-point values no longer convert these values
        to floating point for iteration.
    (a) FOR loops over a small range of large integer (#) values now terminate. [PBT597]
    (b) FOR loops with fractional STEP values no longer exit early. [PBT598]
 5.     FOR loops are now interrupted by the production of an error. [PBT600]
 6.     OR is now symmetric for mixed integer (#) and BCD arguments. [PBT611]
 7.     AND and OR now accept a real-valued complex number as a second argument.
        [PBT610,PBT612]
 8.     OR now short-circuits when its first argument is a nonzero integer (#) value.
        [PBT613]
 9.     INPUT now exits with an error if any allowed type matrix passed in includes
        non-integer elements. [PBT711]
10.     INPUT with a [0]-allowed type matrix no longer bars real values. [PBT712]
11.     Pressing backspace in a field of an INPUT form no longer requires the field to be
        subsequently edited to pass allowed type matrix requirements. [PBT696]
12.     BITAND is no longer raising an error for arguments around 10^14. [PBT790]
13.     Raising a matrix to powers near 2^31 no longer return results for smaller powers
        instead. [PBT757]
14.     IDENMAT no longer requires its argument to be less than 33. [PBT756]
15.     Calling MAKEMAT or RANDMAT with very large positive dimensions no longer brings
        about crashes. [PBT753,PBT755]
16.     Calling MAKEMAT with negative dimensions no longer brings about crashes.
        [PBT751,PBT754]
17.     Some views that were not being redrawn immediately after a call to STARTVIEW are
        now being redrawn immediately. [PBT745]
18.     Performing a syntax check on a program that initializes an exported variable with
        an expression that, when evaluated, produces an error no longer potentially causes
        a crash. [PBT856] An example of an initializing expression that produces an error
        when evaluated would be one that, via a use of AVars, references an undefined
        application variable. [PBT548]
19.     Errors with encrypted programs that could introduce persistent instability, boot
        failures, and instant crashes when connecting to a Connectivity Kit have been
        addressed. [PBT851,PBT854,PBT855]
20.     Smaller encryption-related buffers are now used when processing encrypted
        programs. [PBT853]
21.     When converting to a 64-bit unsigned #integer, R→B now returns exact results for
        BCD values between 9.22337203686E18 and 1.84467440737E19 rather than producing an
        error. [PBT962]
22.     R→B now rounds the first argument it is given to a nearest integer, with ties
        being rounded away from zero, before clamping the value to the range of the
        destination #integer type. [PBT963,PBT964,PBT965]
23.     When called with a first argument that is not a list, such as a matrix or a
        string, the ListToMat command now produces an error rather than potentially
        bringing about a crash. [PBT981]
24.     Raising a value with a unit to a power that is an #integer or that is a value
        approximately equal to a rational no longer introduces instability.
        [PBT982,PBT983]
25.     The SORT command now produces sorted results even when the values to sort include
        large-magnitude #integer values alongside close yet distinct non-#integer values.
        [PBT984]

PPL Programming, Graphics
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
 1.     The filled polygon rendering algorithm that is used for FILLPOLY and FILLPOLY_P
        has been replaced.
    (a) Rendered meshes, even with exact T-vertices, no longer miss or multiply paint
        pixels (no "salt and pepper" artifacts). [PBT271,PBT785]
    (b) Vertices far from the origin no longer confuse the topology. [PBT777]
    (c) The use of some vertices far from the origin that would bring about crashes no
        longer do so. [PBT262]
    (d) Uneven / clumped stepping along edges is no longer present. [PBT776]
    (e) Horizontal artifacts (topological confusion along a scanline) no longer occurs
        with certain specific edge slopes and vertex combinations. [PBT190,PBT257]
 2.     Calls of FILLPOLY and FILLPOLY_P may now omit both color and alpha arguments.
        [PBT624]
 3.     FILLPOLY_P no longer clamps coordinates given by a matrix to 32-bit values on
        64-bit builds. [PBT781]
 4.     LINE_P is no longer inappropriately clamping coordinates to a reduced range on
        64-bit builds. [PBT788]
 5.     RGB no longer accepts values that are just slightly out of range. [PBT769]
 6.     SUBGROB and SUBGROB_P no longer accept negative dimensions. [PBT747]
 7.     Calling DIMGROB_P with both dimensions small negative numbers no longer brings
        about a crash. [PBT746]
 8.     DIMGROB results are now translation invariant; they no longer vary when a Plot
        view is panned. [PBT765]
 9.     DIMGROB now raises an error if given negative dimensions. [PBT764]
10.     DIMGROB_P now raises an error if given huge negative dimensions. [PBT780]
11.     ARC_P now interprets hexagesimal angle arguments as being in degrees. [PBT773]
12.     ARC_P now interprets angles as being expressed in gradians when the angle mode is
        set to gradians. [PBT806]
13.     ARC_P, BLIT_P, FILLPOLY_P, GETPIX_P, INVERT_P, LINE_P, PIXOFF_P, PIXON_P, PX→C,
        RECT_P, ROTATE, SUBGROB_P, TEXTOUT_P, and TRIANGLE_P now round non-integer
        coordinates in a uniform direction, rather than towards the origin.
        [PBT811,PBT816]

Home View
- - - - -
 1. The a b/c key now only brings up fraction displays for numbers that are internally
    stored as fractions. [PBT3,PBT507] The displayed fraction no longer depends on Number
    Settings. [PBT131]
 2. Mixed fraction displays brought up by the a b/c key no longer include a negation sign
    between the leading whole number and the fraction that follows. [PBT704]
 3. Errors are no longer lost when restarting. Errors are now preserved in saved work.
    [PBT705]
 4. If numerical overflow is encountered during a calculation, a numerical overflow error
    is now reported. [PBT52] Calculations in other numerical environments have not been
    changed, including calculations within PPL programs.

Function App
- - - - - - -
 1.     Extremum searches no longer fail on functions whose expressions involve prefix
        negation used as infix subtraction. [PBT594]
 2.     Some logic for degree 2 rational polynomials, of X or of K^X, has been added.
    (a) Extrema searches can now thereby avoid reporting spurious solutions found via
        asymptote chasing, an example being a search for an extremum of 244 * 0.965^X / (1
        + 22.8*0.965^X)^2. [PBT595]
    (b) Intersections between degree 1 rational polynomials and constant functions are now
        reported exactly where possible. [PBT596]
    (c) Root searches can now thereby report "no root found" for some cases now, rather
        than attempting numerical root finding - which may find and report extrema.
        [PBT703] (When there is a quadratic numerator with an exactly-known negative
        discriminant.) Similarly so with intersections.

Python App
- - - - - -
 1. Entering a negative integer value via the Edit Integer dialog with the Python app
    active now prints a correct expression for the integer. [PBT606]
 2. The hpprime.mouse function now uses a single coordinate system for reporting
    coordinates. Before the change, hpprime.mouse would sometimes use different coordinate
    systems for different parts of the screen. [PBT687]
 3. Positions returned by the hpprime.mouse function are now current touch positions
    rather than positions where the touch interaction currently underway began. [PBT546]
 4. The heap and stack memory settings chosen in the Plot Setup view are now interpreted
    correctly on both 32- and 64-bit platforms. [PBT686]
 5. The Spanish title of the Numeric view now includes the app name. [PBT556]
 6. The hpprime.dimgrob function now clears the specified GROB even if the color argument
    specifies a transparent color. [PBT779]
 7. Parsing of PPL source, by hpprime.eval, now matches more closely the parsing used for
    PPL programs. [PBT727]
 8. Repeated, rapid calls to graphic.draw_filled_polygon or graphic.draw_filled_arc no
    longer bring about instability and visual artifacts. [PBT340,PBT770]
 9. A ticks function has been added to the hpprime module. [PBT810]
10. The hpprime module now has getpix, getpix_c, invert, and invert_c functions that
    correspond to the PPL GETPIX_P, GETPIX, INVERT_P, and INVERT commands. [PBT529,PBT530]
11. Passing a transparent color with value above 0x7FFFFFFF to a graphics function of the
    hpprime module no longer raises an exception. [PBT523]

Geometry App
- - - - - - -
 1. Unchecking the "Grid Lines" box in Plot Setup now removes the grid lines from Plot
    view. [PBT133]
 2. Horizontal dragging in the Symbolic view no longer brings about a crash when
    definitions are present. [PBT547]
 3. Slope field segments shown in the Plot view now all use the slope field color.
    [PBT695]
 4. Rendering artifacts of some filled plots (e.g., of ln(x)/2) have been addressed. (A
    new polygon-filling routine renders filled polygons correctly even when vertices are
    very closely spaced.) [PBT254]

Other Fixes
- - - - - -
 1.     With the toolbox catalog open, tapping on a function exported from a user program
        could result in I4 being added to the entry line rather than the name of the
        function that was tapped on. This has been addressed. [PBT955]
 2.     Some UI logic was miswired in CAS Settings; e.g., pressing Del on some dropdown
        menus could change checkbox settings. This has been addressed.
        [PBT503,PBT504,PBT505,PBT506]
 3.     In the Help view, touch input would not be recognized after the view was panned to
        some positions. This has been addressed. [PBT714]
 4.     Memory was being leaked when
    (a) using ROUND with degree-minute-second inputs, [PBT578]
    (b) assigning values to Theme(...), [PBT609]
    (c) accessing the Info display in the Explorer app's Plot view, [PBT614]
    (d) scrolling in the Explorer app's Plot view, [PBT615,PBT616,PBT617]
    (e) solving a multi-constraint system in the Solve app's Numeric view, [PBT618]
    (f) copying examples from the Help system, [PBT678]
    (g) looping in a FOR loop that used a built-in application variable as an index
        variable [PBT599],
    (h) calling graphic.draw_filled_polygon [PBT771],
    (i) leaving the Note Editor [PBT895],
    (j) performing zeroconf discovery at launch, [PBT684] and
    (k) closing a font; [PBT688]
        these memory leaks have been addressed.
 5.     Crashes that could occur when using, or shortly after using, Ans in RPN mode have
        been fixed. [PBT680]

        [PBT697]
 7.     Attempting to open the "Decimal Places" inside the Spreadsheet app's Format menu
        could result in a crash. No longer. [PBT821]
 8.     With the start of the week set to Monday, the field showing that in Home Settings
        could instead just show "...". The dialog layout has been adjusted to prevent
        that. [PBT820]
 9.     Some UI logic was miswired in Home Settings regarding integer settings; e.g.,
        using one UI control could change the setting of another control without that
        control being updated visually. [PBT534,PBT841,PBT845,PBT846,PBT847]
10.     64-bit signed integers would appear to be attainable with certain sequences of
        assignments to Signed and Bits. An assignment to one automatically adjusts the
        other, when necessary. [PBT848]
11.     A custom user KEY returning a string could bring about a crash. Addressed.
        [PBT894]

        into account. [PBT850]
18.     The +, −, and +/- keys now adjust a b/c Key options in Home Settings. [PBT818]
19.     Interactions that could lead to a crash when attempting to copy a binary asset in
        the Program Editor now instead result in the selected binary asset being copied.
        [PBT961]
20.     When performing a syntax check on a PPL source file of a multi-file project
        (Program or App), the Program Editor no longer switches to editing a binary asset
        if a binary asset was added to the project before the PPL source being checked
        was. [PBT972]
21.     The Program Editor, when opening a file of a multi-file project for editing, no
        longer brings up the contents of a file other than that selected for opening even
        if PPL source files were added after binary asset files were. [PBT621,PBT622]
22.     When called with an invalid first argument, such as 1*2, the SetFreq function of
        the Statistics 1Var app now produces an error rather than potentially crashing.
        [PBT977]

Inference App
- - - - - - -
 1. Attempting to import with only a single sample statistic available no longer brings
    about a crash. [PBT744]
 2. Dialog labels, for s and n, are no longer swapped when importing two samples. [PBT743]

Sequence App
- - - - - - -
 1. Defining U1 as U1(1)=1, U1(2)=2, and U1(N+2)=N+2 no longer has an evaluation of U1(3)
    returning 5. [PBT716]
 2. Defining U1 as U1(N)=U2(N) and U2 as U2(N) no longer brings about crashes when using
    Eval on U1(N) in the Symbolic view. [PBT715]

Connectivity Kit
- - - - - - - - -
 1.     The variety and presence of borders, lines, and backgrounds in the main window has
        been reduced. [PBT935]

        that could result in empty programs being exported no longer result in such.
        [PBT741]
 4.     An unused "Exam Modes" directory is no longer created in the Documents folder.
        [PBT919]

        [PBT912]
 6.     Windows' "Bigger Text" feature now affects the size of the filter drop-down in the
        Calculators pane. [PBT914]
 7.     Monitored calculator images are now less blurry when shown or when copied to the
        clipboard. [PBT900,PBT901]

    (c) editing a spreadsheet cell, [PBT664]
    (d) pasting into a spreadsheet cell, [PBT665]
    (e) opening a matrix window, [PBT667]
    (f) opening a list window, [PBT668]
    (g) right-clicking on an exam mode, [PBT635,PBT682,PBT683]
    (h) copying an exam mode [PBT669], and
    (i) dragging and dropping an exam mode onto a calculator; [PBT670]
        these memory leaks have been addressed.

Virtual Calculator
- - - - - - - - - -
 1. The image shown in a Screen Capture window may now be dragged and dropped into another
    application or program that supports drag and drop for images. [PBT634]
 2. When busy or preoccupied, the Virtual Calculator could leak memory each time a key is
    pressed or each time text is pasted in from the clipboard. These leaks have been
    addressed. [PBT676,PBT679]

 2.     The PPL Notes command no longer returns a stale view of a note while it is being
        edited. [PBT893]
 3.     Opening a freshly-created calculator note in the Connectivity Kit now brings up a
        blank note rather than random contents. [PBT877]
 4.     Chronological ordering in the Note Catalog now places more recently edited notes
        above those whose most-recent edit occurred earlier. [PBT891]
    (a) And similarly so with assignments to PPL Notes. [PBT884]
    (b) Notes received from a Connectivity Kit are now placed at the top of the
        chronological ordering rather than the bottom. [PBT885]
 5.     Custom PPL user KEYs can now adjust notes while in a Note Editor or the Note
        Catalog without introducing instability / crashes. [PBT886,PBT887]

        error message, rather than being silently ignored. [PBT349,PBT875]
12.     Long note names entered in the Note Catalog are no longer automatically truncated.
        Instead, an error is shown. [PBT874]
13.     Note names shown in the Note Catalog are no longer unnecessarily shortened. Note
        size descriptions in the Note Catalog now always include units. [PBT863]

    up the Terminal. [PBT45]

Release Notes
-------------
The release notes have been reformatted: spaces are now used for indentation (rather than
a mixture of tabs and spaces) and lines are now wrapped. A few minor changes have been
made to the notes for previous versions:

 1.     a few spelling corrections were made,
 2.     a few items had their indentation levels changed,
 3.     some minor changes were made to increase uniformity ("Version" is now included in
        the line for the Connectivity Kit in the "Internal Versions" section and "Virtual
        Calculator Version" is now used instead of "Emulator Version" in the release notes
        for the 2013/11/25 release; some applications of underlining in various places
        were also changed; all releases now state the "Date Released" as year/month/day),
 4.     a separator was added between the notes for different releases, and
 5.     numbering was added to sections of the release notes for the 2014/12/03 and
        2013/11/25 releases;
 6.     for continuity,
    (a) the 2018/10/16 release still has its versions listed in the release notes as
        "2.1.14091 (2018 10 16)" (within the user interfaces, "2.1.14181 (2018 10 16)" is
        shown),
    (b) item 6 is still omitted from a section in the release notes for the 2016/04/14
        release, and
    (c) numbering begins at 0 for a section in the release notes for the 2014/12/03
        release.

In the release notes for the 2018/01/24 release, however, "M" is no longer used for two
items in one list.

Note to School IT Professionals
-------------------------------
The standard windows install packages are built using the WiX toolset
(http://wixtoolset.org/). If you need a standard MSI for remote deployment of emulator or
connkit installers on Windows operating systems, you may now find the packaged MSI files
alongside the existing EXE installers. Simply change the download link to be "*.msi"
instead of ".exe"

For example:
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/calculators/Prime/HP_Prime_Connectivity_Kit_x64_20181016.exe changes to
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/calculators/Prime/HP_Prime_Connectivity_Kit_x64_20181016.msi

You may also need to deploy the x64 or x86 version of the Visual Studio 2019 C++
redistributable (vc_redist.x64.exe or vc_redist.x86.exe -
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads)
if not present in your existing school deployments.

Description
-----------
This release of the Prime Calculator firmware and associated PC software delivers
significant new features and fixes outstanding issues. This document is not a complete
list of all changes, but highlights specific items. All users of the HP Prime calculator
are encouraged to upgrade for the best possible experience.

Backward Compatibility
----------------------
There is limited backward compatibility between this and earlier releases.

Older Prime hardware (Revision A) does support this release, however the wireless,
unit-to-unit, and data streamer functionality is not supported on earlier models. In the
Help->About HP Prime screen the hardware revision will be displayed along with software
version information. Mixing and matching software revisions is not encouraged and may
cause unexpected results. Users are strongly encouraged to first backup their calculators
with the older firmware and Connectivity Kit - then upgrade all their calculator software
(firmware, Connectivity Kit, and Virtual Calculator).  Upgrade the Connectivity kit first,
before upgrading your calculator firmware. This order will produce the best experience.

The geometry application and inference have received significant updates and earlier data
files will not be compatible. Old data files from earlier revisions will not load and and
a new empty data file will overwrite the old one.

Due to some specific issues resolved, certain user programs may not run on the new system
without changes first. Specifically, any commands with the Σ character in the name may
need to be corrected to use the correct sigma character. Function variables will now also
error if the function parameter is using a reserved system function name (example: SIN or
COLOR). Additionally, the TRIANGLE commands were modified to allow TRIANGLE, LINE and
FILLPOLY to share similar data and syntax to enable easier creation of complex 3D drawings

New Functionality (Connectivity Kit)
------------------------------------
 1. Application has had major improvements to the user interface. Please refer to the
    included connectivity kit User's Guide for instructions and details.

        only displays up to a specified number of digits, and “rounded” which is similar
        to the “fixed” format except trailing zeros are suppressed.
 9.     Decimal fractions now appear with a zero, as in 0.25.
10.     Vectors are now displayed as a single line object until they become a matrix. This
        aids in distinguishing vectors and matrices.
