This maintenance release of the Prime Calculator firmware and associated PC
software delivers fixes to outstanding issues. This document is not a complete list
of all changes, but highlights specific items. All users of the HP Prime calculator
are encouraged to upgrade for the best possible experience.

Please back up your calculator before the update. Any existing data on the device
may be wiped during the update process.

New Functionality and Changes (Calculator Software)

1. ROUND and TRUNC now interpret DMS inputs in a more expected manner (e.g.
ROUND(45°29′57.7″,4) ----> 45°29′58″ )
2. Numeric only PRODUCT function created which helps reduce change of symbolic
results in unexpected places such as Sequence app
3. INPUT previously had issues with local variables being given as input. Place
EVAL( ) around your definition to programmatically create INPUT boxes.
LOCAL a:= { ... }; INPUT(EVAL(a));
4. Power below 10% will now display a red critical icon in the title bar.
5. Integration when done from HOME or in an app will now always numerically
evaluate rather than symbolically. This will help prevent unanticipated results
when a simple numeric answer is expected
6. Added a TDim variable to control screen dim time - default is 30 seconds
7. CAS updated to later version with many improvements and fixes:
a. Improves symmetrical numeric integrals (e.g. inputs like
∫(normald(0,1,X),X,-10000.,10000.); )
b. Implemented subdiagonal extraction with diag(matrix,index)
c. Implemented hamdist(list,list) in addition to int,int
d. Handles things like ∫(e^(-x^2-i*t*x),x,-∞,∞) directly
e. gramschmidt now accepts 0 as optional 2nd argument if 1st arg is a
matrix to avoid normalization
f. Implemented support for replace(string,string,string)

5. Resolved issue with a:=x *(x - (exp(x) - exp(-x)) / 2 / ((exp(1) - exp(-1)) /
2)); b:=int(a); simplify(diff(b)-a);

Note to School IT Professionals

-------------------------------
The standard windows install packages are built using the Wix toolset
(http://wixtoolset.org/). If you need a standard MSI for remote deployment of
emulator or connkit installers on Windows operating systems, you may now find the
packaged MSI files alongside the existing EXE installers. Simply change the
download link to be "*.msi" instead of ".exe"

For example:
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/calculators/Prime/HP_Prime_Connectivity_Kit_20180706.exe
changes to
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/calculators/Prime/HP_Prime_Connectivity_Kit_20180706.msi

You may also need to deploy the x86 version of the Visual Studio 2013 c++
redistributable (vcredist_x86.exe - https://www.microsoft.com/en-
us/download/details.aspx?id=40784) if not present in your existing school
deployments.

Description
-----------
This release of the Prime Calculator firmware and associated PC software delivers
significant new features and fixes outstanding issues. This document is not a
complete list of all changes, but highlights specific items. All users of the HP
Prime calculator are encouraged to upgrade for the best possible experience.

Backward Compatibility
----------------------
There is limited backward compatibility between this and earlier releases.

Older Prime hardware (Revision A) does support this release, however the wireless,
unit-to-unit, and data streamer functionality is not supported on earlier models.
In the Help->About HP Prime screen the hardware revision will be displayed along
with software version information. Mixing and matching software revisions is not
encouraged and may cause unexpected results. Users are strongly encouraged to first
backup their calculators with the older firmware and Connectivity Kit - then
upgrade all their calculator software (firmware, Connectivity Kit, and Virtual
Calculator). Upgrade the Connectivity kit first, before upgrading your calculator
firmware. This order will produce the best experience.
The geometry application and inference have received significant updates and
earlier data files will not be compatible. Old data files from earlier revisions
will not load and and a new empty data file will overwrite the old one.

Due to some specific issues resolved, certain user programs may not run on the new
system without changes first. Specifically, any commands with the Σ character in
the name may need to be corrected to use the correct sigma character. Function
variables will now also error if the function parameter is using a reserved system
function name (example: SIN or COLOR). Additionally, the TRIANGLE commands were
modified to allow TRIANGLE, LINE and FILLPOLY to share similar data and syntax to
enable easier creation of complex 3D drawings

New Functionality (Connectivity Kit)

------------------------------------
1. Application has had major improvements to the user interface. Please refer to
the included connectivity kit User's Guide for instructions and details.
2. Support for the HP Wireless Classroom network has been introduced. Please see
http://www.hp.com/calculators/ for details on the Wireless Classroom kit.
3. Greatly enhanced communication speed over USB link to calculator.

New Functionality (Calculator Software)

---------------------------------------
1. Improved touch support throughout system. This includes pinch to zoom support
in graphing applications, and kinetic scrolling.
2. Pressing HELP in an open command line will attempt to find the name of a
command based on the prior input up to the cursor position to display system help
for that command.
3. Includes Edition 2 of the on calculator help files (English only in this
release).
4. Greatly enhanced robustness and capability of the Statistics 2Var logistic
fit.
5. Wireless support for capable units turned on. Wireless icon will appear in
the right top corner menu for units that can support the HP Prime Wireless Kit.
6. Calculator unit-to-unit communications has now been enabled on units that can
support it.
7. Numerical values now can be displayed with digit groupings. Examples include:
1,234.567 1 234.567 and 1’234,567
8. Two new numerical display formats have been introduced. These are “floating”
which only displays up to a specified number of digits, and “rounded” which is
similar to the “fixed” format except trailing zeros are suppressed.
9. Decimal fractions now appear with a zero, as in 0.25.
10. Vectors are now displayed as a single line object until they become a matrix.
This aids in distinguishing vectors and matrices.
11. User selectable first day of week setting for use through the system.
12. First boot unlock and settings wizard. User will be asked to confirm language
selection and some initial settings.
13. Inference application now can do Chi-Square calculations and Linear
Regression T calculations.
14. Geometry application has been completely redone and is much faster,
consistent, and capable than before.
15. Enhanced color pickers allow a greater range of color selection.
16. Pressing ENTER will now open chooser in a dialog or toggle checkbox.
17. Enhanced unit object display to ensure a more standard form with complex
units.
18. TRIANGLE, FILLPOLY and LINE commands can now draw multiple objects in a
consistent way with each other. Useful for very complicated 3D drawing in user
programs.
19. INPUT command can now create multi-page dialogs and contain choose boxes,
check boxes and grouped check boxes. It can also allow specific item types and
gives control of parsing behavior for input. It also supports size and position
control.
