Next release will contain...
  1. A stack size indicator in the status bar (thanks to Martin).
  2. AGM bug removed and complex square roots refined (thanks to Mihail and Pauli).
  3. STO .A crash in PEM removed (thanks to Mihail).
  4. Quite some bugs under the hood removed and refinements implemented before the split.
We are, however, challenged by bringing these improvements to you since the usual release doesn't work anymore - it's taken by the C43 branch as far as I understood - and there wasn't any release just before the split since I wasn't aware of this coming. So I've to ask you for some patience until I will have found a way.

Adding to text strings works symmetric now - you can append numbers to text strings as well as text strings to numbers. This follows a user request on this forum.

All the best to all WP43 supporters and fans for the new year!
Hopefully there will be more releases (for WP43) in 2023.

Today, 2023-01-21, we offer you release 0.23.3 here https://gitlab.com/rpncalculators/wp43/-/releases (thanks to Mihail!).
  • Implemeted DELITM (thanks to Mihail!)
  • Chosen stack size is indicated in the status bar (thanks to Martin!).
  • Improved RBR so also lettered registers can be addressed directly (thanks to Mihail!).
  • Adding to text strings works symmetric now - you can append numbers to text strings as well as text strings to numbers (thanks to Mihail!).
  • Fixed most bugs reported in between.
  • Improved some issues under the hood.

Both manuals stay unchanged (necessary updates & corrections will follow).

Included in the release package is everything you may want to try, test, and check the WP43S on your computer or your DM42. Please look into the Reference Manual, App. E and F for how to do this.

Enjoy!

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.

I updated to 0.23.3 and as soon as I attempted to LOAD the wp43.sav file the emulator crashed and closed. I don't think I'm going to bother re-entering all my programs and data again. :(

Thanks for the new WP43 release !

I successfully updated my WP43 following the instructions in the readme file.
I had SAVEd a backup before flashing the new firmware, but after the update LOAD made the calculator unresponsive and I had to press Reset on the back. So I suppose that changes on the saved file format make it not backward compatible and I will have to re-enter manually all my programs.

I just did a simple test of the string concatenation and found the following issue.

press:
f α A B [EXIT]
f α C D [EXIT]
f α E F [EXIT]

you should have the strings "AB" in Z, "CD" in Y and "EF" in X.

Press + , there is now "AB" in Y and "CDEF" in X as expected.

Press + again and now there’s "ABABEF" in X instead of "ABCDEF".

I only tried the emulator by now, and the backup problem is present there too.
Could you stop this incompatibility issue on every version change?
What is the backup good for, this way? It should survive upgrades.

A discrepancy with the reference manual : page 89 it says for |x| that it can be accessed in the PART or CPX menus, but it is not there.
