it's unlikely TI will have time to fix the bugs
As much as we all would like to believe so, it is outright foolish to ;)
The only wise opinion is to assume that the next OS version will slam the door to the current incarnation of Ndless.

As I wrote above, and as with the two previous generations of Ndless (1.0/1.1, 1.7/2.0), the vulnerability / vulnerabilities used by Ndless 3.1 can be fixed in much less than more than one month for analysis + code changes + tests.

If TI makes the blunder (from their POV) / boon (from our POV) of letting the next version vulnerable the exact same way as 3.1.0.392, then we, as a community aiming at exercising our freedom to tinker on the devices we own, will have every reason to rejoice :)
But it is extremely unlikely that this will occur, really.
If TI's release process has such a high turnaround time that makes it impossible to fix critical vulnerabilities (from their POV) in weeks, how can anyone be confident that the new OS release didn't let slip in some known (unlike the boot2 destruction bug of OS 3.0.1.1753, AFAWCT) major usage bugs detected in the last minute ? ;)
(unless TI officially notifies the entire community that they reversed the lockdown stance that has been theirs for nearly five years now - but that is even more unlikely, and would be even bigger news :D)

This is why I think we should keep quiet about Ndless and Co to website like Slashdot until the next OS is out.
Teachers and/or people at TI will notice it less, which might result in less pressure on the developers to fix it.

Ah, but I still suspect they watch the calc forums. They don't need accounts to see news on the releases.

Well we don't know if they check Omni, because when they sent e-mails to various website owners last year, they sent one to Cemetech (which in general is very pro-Casio and anti-Nspire), The TIBank team that moved to TI-Planet, Ticalc.org and a few others. Yet, Omnimaga received nothing at all. This is most likely because:

-Omnimaga has posted too many negative comments about TI in news and made fun of them through fake news and april fools pranks (although that would be surprising, considering Cemetech is even more anti-Nspire than Omni ever did)
-They didn't find us yet (maybe they were using an old site list and Omnimaga had a different URL or was down at the time they made it)
-Our front page states directly that we focus mostly on games, which is not TI's focus.
-They don't find us important enough for the community (which would be quite ironic considering the amount of people that get online everyday)

Not sure what else it could be, though.

Well, they didn't know it existed at first, but if IIRC now they do.

Ah maybe. That said we still have Casio stuff and members and maybe they didn't notice Cemetech did at the time. Not sure if that could have caused problems.

I can't believe the progress ExtendeD and the team have made in keeping up ndless with the TI-nspire OS releases. This is great news and another sign of continued success for ndless.

It's best that you wait until you have more time before posting, though, so you can double-check your posts before posting, else if they are written poorly, some people will ignore them.

Would the elder scrolls II: daggerfall be too complicated to emulate on the nspire?
