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.
Manual didn't updated. Older version like v0.20.0 has |x| in PART and CPX menu. :)

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.
It appears it’s not only a problem of backward compatibility but a problem with the whole backup feature with firmware 0.23.3, for example if you enter the simple program :
001 LBL "AB"
002 END
then create a backup with g SAVE followed by f I/O LOAD to restore it.
Now running "AB" with XEQ PROG "AB" is freezing the calculator.

But not the emulator.

This problem is known though not solved yet (and the odds are high it won't be before v1.0). Generally, I recommend filing such issues under GitLab (https://gitlab.com/rpncalculators/wp43/-/issues) - there they will be recorded and won't get lost.

Having said that, you'll find there are continuous activities eliminating errors you can observe under GitLab (special thanks to Mihail). We'll publish a new release in due time but don't hold your breath ...

Today, 2023-02-23, we offer you release 0.23.6 here https://gitlab.com/rpncalculators/wp43/-/releases (thanks to Mihail!). Please see the detailed Release Notes - actually the software is as for 0.23.5, but the updated manuals were uploaded now.

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.
