Once the proper fix is found though (might be a matter of "just" a few bytes) it should be fixable even for close source stuff - I'm not sure there are that many programs affected anyway, let alone closed-source ones.
But yeah "that sucks". At least it was caught relatively early thanks to user reports, pretty much all in a few days. Hopefully things will be all good for when school starts or so.

Yeah, at least 3 reports on rev I and not a single one before... yet.
Maybe over the next few days/weeks with back-to-school we'll have more user reports, but in any case, it's a pain to debug/fix :/

Be sure to "subscribe" to that github issue to know about updates when this gets fixed (there's another more technical issue on the toolchain repo too)

Are you sure you uploaded the right file? See the recent posts of https://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=20259
But good job, anyway

Thanks to TI, we've been able to try OS 5.3 in advance and so we've made this unofficial changelog for you, although you've probably seen some of those things in our recent news

• Ability to update the emulator's OS

In conclusion, some very good things
It's available very soon, for the 2017-2018 Back-to-school season !

kinda related

That said, I guess I'll commit some compatibility thing for the older paths to still work instead of possibly make people angry about the toolchain updates breaking their stuff.
*However* because things should still be updated, it will print an annoying deprecation warning message until their code gets fixed And eventually, I guess this compatibility layer may get removed.

This is the proper way to handle a graceful deprecation/removal for "breaking" changes (even if it's here a matter of removing just a few chars)

Edit: done https://git.io/vSwbz

Unfortunately, on my CX CAS rev F, this new version is incredibly slow (around 2 FPS, and it was frameskipping etc.)
Can't test on a W+, since I don't have one.

Technically there are short videos available in critor's posts like here: https://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19710&p=214214#p214214

Also for getting an Nspire ROM, see here: https://github.com/nspire-emus/firebird/wiki/First-Time-Setup (I noticed the ticalc tutorial didn't have an nspire section on that page)

I thought I had posted here before, but... ?

Anyway, I only wanted to mention I met Jim & Stefan Bauwens and Vogtinator while at the FOSDEM 2017 conference a "few days" ago.
(I had already seen Jim actually)

That said, the list of other community people I've met in the past includes, in alphabetical order: critor, Elfprince, Excale, Jim Bauwens, KermM, Laurae, Levak, Lionel Debroux, Merth (+ some TIers that have been active (some many years ago, some more recently) in the community by publishing stuff etc., but idk if that counts ).
I almost met DJ and Juju, too, while I was in Québec.

Can't reproduce the lua-script-crash bug either, here, on both my CX and CX CAS :/
Any more info about the context of the crash?

Funny how discussions started on reddit already (of course), and one comment thread was about the fact that "Jedi" is also the plural form...

Also TI-Planet's PB now has compression support In fact it's always enabled and will make both and only keep the smallest 8xp (whether it's the compressed one or not).

This was a troll photoshop image I made, if you hadn't noticed (and a made up release date, although who knows...)

Here's a real image from a german press release (http://www.casio-schulrechner.de/de/presse/detail/2414/) that amazonka found.

What about the "more squared" design:



(Photoshop troll, yep )
