  • There are immediate 1-keystroke conversions ->BIN, ->OCT, ->DEC, and ->HEX featured now in INTS.
Should we have to press Enter to get the INTS menu to come up?
If I type

67
INTS

nothing happens.

If I type

67
Enter
INTS

the INTS menu comes up. This is not consistent with the EXP or TRI menus since they copy the input number to X and bring up the menu without having to press Enter.
This is a really weird bug. Thanks for reporting.

And thank YOU for removing your rant. The section on menus was the first place I looked when I noticed that INTS doesn't behave the same as EXP and TRI. I just reread it and still don't see anything that would explain the difference.

I admit I misunderstood your post in first run, thinking you didn't reach the third view of INTS and wanting to get there via ENTER. :? Anyway, BIT shows the same bug. We are working on it.

The INTS and BIT launching bug is fixed now (thanks to Mihail). Since it's easily circumvented it will be publicly available in next release, not earlier.

  • Short integer input is now formatted according to the base chosen.
wonderful! thanks very much indeed to you all.

Note WP43 runs at four (4) speeds now:
  1. Battery powered, FASTFN clear (25)
  2. Battery powered, FASTFN set (70)
  3. USB powered, FASTFN clear (80)
  4. USB powered, FASTFN set (200)
... sorted bottom up (speed in arbitrary units). I tested this with a programmed sum running from 1 to 1000. The setting of SLOW has no measurable influence on the device so far (which will be investigated).

Edit: Here's the program used for testing and measuring execution time:

Code: Select all

LBL 'Frame'
   TICKS
   STO K
   1000.001
   Σsub_n 'Benchm'
   TICKS
   RCL- K
   RTN
LBL 'Benchm'
   arctan
   sin
   e^x
   3rd_root_of_x
   RTN
END

Today, 2023-04-09, we offer you our Easter edition, release 0.23.11 , here https://gitlab.com/rpncalculators/wp43/-/releases (thanks to Mihail and Didier!).
  1. PAUSE 00 updates the screen now as it always should. Check the program SPIRAL, for instance - it is part of testpgms.bin.
  2. With VARMNU displayed, RCL and VIEW now access the variables shown therein.
  3. Separated VAR submenus for writeable and read-only variables.
  4. Corrected launching bugs in INTS and BIT.
  5. Refined the QRG.
  6. Modified the way comparisons with x are displayed for improved user experience.
Included in the release package is everything you may want to try, test, and check the WP43 on your computer or your DM42. Please look into the ReM, App. E and F for how to do this.

Happy Easter and may the hare be with you!

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask early. And if you discover anything suboptimal, please report. There are certainly some issues - who finds one unknown yet will get 1 new test point.

Spoiler: Next release is going to include state files, thanks to Didier.

Both the simulator and the calculator run smoothly. We're still trying, however, to benefit from state files for solving a little challenge being discovered almost two weeks ago. The release will be ... released when this is done, I think.
