Version 1.7.11

This release fixes an incorrect volume/header information generated by the programs rom41er, rom41hx and rom41lif in the LIF directory header of the output file. This error probably does not affect HP-IL operations on the HP-41 because this information is ignored.

Information on the binary packages:

• The Windows packages were built and statically linked with VS 2022 on Windows 10. Also tested on Windows 11. The 32 bit package was not tested.
• The macOS universal package was built on Big Sur (Intel). Also tested on Sonoma (Intel). There were no tests on M1 hardware.
• The Linux packages were built on Debian Bookworm.

Version 1.7.10

This release provides the following changes and fixes:

• The output of the program lexcat75 was enhanced and shows additional information about function parameters. The output format is now similar to the output of the HP-75 HELP lex file.
• The program lexcat71 does not show invalidated text table entries any more.
• The programs rom41er, rom41hx, rom41lif now use only the lower 10 bits to compute the checksum. The fix of rom41lif is important for all HP-41CL users because this respects the presence of speed bits in rom images.

You find installers for macOS and LINUX (Debian) below. See the Installation instructions how to proceed.

Version 1.7.9

This release provides the following changes and extensions:

• merged pull #3: make LIFUTILS build on non LINUX Unices, fix potential side effect in comp41.c (many thanks to the contributor)
• added -l option to relax file name checking, allow underscore in lif filenames
• documented the "-p" option for floppy disk access (LINUX only)
• Windows installer updates
• added textlif75 to create HP-75 text files from ASCII text files
• added lexcat75 to display information about HP-75 LEX files
• renamed text75 to liftext75 to be consistent with the LIFUTILS naming scheme (potential incompatibility)

You find installers for Windows (32 and 64 bit), macOS and LINUX (Debian) below. See the Installation instructions how to proceed.

Note: To use this version of the LIFUTILS with pyILPER you have to update to version 1.8.1 of that program.
