Four months after the previous beta, and a year after the previous release, the development cycle is drawing to a close, thanks to Benjamin Moody's important contributions![Smile]()
I'm releasing an intermediate beta tonight. It should soon be followed by a release candidate containing today's patch from Benjamin, for clearing the last significant hurdle for releasing TILP II 1.17 (minizip -> libarchive transition in libtifiles), and a minor fix (TODO) for Debian packaging (not copying Windows stuff even when compiling on non-Windows for non-Windows).
In order to handle Benjamin's libarchive patch, I need to set up some extra things and spend time on testing it and reading the code - but it's Friday evening, not the best time for doing that![Very Happy]()
* refreshed the installer at http://tiplanet.org/beta/setup.exe . (unusual URL, the ticalc.org FTP is currently experiencing trouble)
* the patchset against SVN HEAD is http://tiplanet.org/beta/tilp_patchset_20121214.tar.bz2 .
* is usual, the install script is http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_tilp/download/install_tilp.sh .
Highlights since the previous beta build (several posts above):
* improved support for "raw mode" external linking, by Benjamin Moody, thanks to two new functions for getting and setting both lines simultaneously (if supported by the cable);
* 84+DUSB ROM dumper: dump the certificate page as well;
* libticables: add dynamic libusb-win32 loader, which paves the way for driver-less libticables-based emulator installers - IOW, installation of TilEm and TIEmu on school computers without admin privileges;
* bugfixes: for instance, desynchronized UI and code reported by Deep Thought. The other bugfixes / improvements are less visible to users (for instance, robustness fixes and tests - API functions shouldn't crash when they're passed NULL arguments).
Please go forth and test![Wink]()
