This is a major release with a lot of new functionality, and extensive under the hood work in prep for later things. The marketing "blurb" is as follows:Use the touch screen to move and stretch your function plots and see how your changes affect the equationEnhanced touch screen curve sketching with cubic supportAdd a picture to the background of any graphDraw your own fit with your finger in the Statistics 2Var appImproved help throughout the systemQuality and reliability improvementsNote: Due to a need to format the internal flash structure of the calculator, all data will be lost during this update. Perform a "backup" using the connkit to save your data if there is anything you need to keep. If you click the "backup" button on the update screen and it immediately pops up a "failed" message, just click backup again and it should be fine.The manuals are not yet ready for posting as they were delayed due to some unfortunate circumstances. On calculator help is up to date however.
