New features:

  • Suspend and resume to/from snapshot files. Now you don't have to wait for the calc to boot, it's instantly available.
  • The USB file explorer now supports file dropping, renaming, downloading and creating folders (right-click)
  • Animated screen-capture (GIF recording)

Mobile UI:

  • Android: Properly implement being in background (paused)
  • More responsive: Fix sidebar buttons and add a toast-based message system
  • Fix layout of settings page with long filenames
  • Add labels to the sidebar buttons
  • iOS: Re-enable landscape mode
  • Auto-resume
  • Save button saves flash and takes a snapshot
  • Support keyboard input (desktop and HW keyboards (untested) only)

Improvements:

  • Refine UI: More icons, utilize status bar and wait cursor
  • More responsive UI: Can restart and resume instantly while in debugger
  • Slight performance improvements: Load flash with COW and speed up memory access in x86_64 JIT
  • Ask whether the created flash image should be used after creation
  • Add "Docks" submenu to show/hide docks
  • Disable JIT on non-jailbroken iOS devices: No longer two separate packages (edit: hotfixed Dec. 17)
  • Better/Updated translations
  • Support of UTF-8 file names/paths on Windows
  • Misc. code improvements, refactorings, etc.

Bugfixes:

  • Make usblink much more reliable
  • Fix dropping multiple files at once
  • Fix speed display: Using C++11 std::chrono instead of OS specific functions now
  • Fix gpsp_nspire: RGB555 not implemented and implement the CPU's behaviour if add changes the PC's lower bits
  • Fix polydumper: CP15 instruction was not implemented
  • Fix boot2 going into standby: bad_read_word
  • Fix some crashes on OS X (compiler bug recently fixed)
  • Set focus to the LCD on startup: Can type instantly now
  • Show "In debugger" overlay if GDB is connected
  • Cut long boot1 and flash filenames in the UI
  • Fix last keypad row on iOS: Added some padding on the bottom of the keypad to avoid triggering the control center
  • Not really an actual bugfix, but the license got changed to GPLv3.

You'll probably need a jailbroken iOS device to run *this .ipa, although you can also compile and run it yourself without jailbreak required, since it's now free from Xcode.*
