App signing would take about 15-30 minutes on calc, according to what Quigibo said. While it may be useful if you're busy with something else like cooking dinner, it would not be practical in most cases.

If you ever make it more than two pages, can you tell me before you release it? I want the latest version that's still small (I have a BE that's already just about filled) ;D

Maybe he should do like Quigibo with Axe: keep old builds around (if they're reliable) so people who prefer them can still use them.

Will do.  I always keep backup copies of the old versions of my programs, in case I ever need to know what was changed when.  If anybody ever wants an old version for some reason, just ask.

There'll be a new version on ticalc.org shortly:
- fixing the TI-Connect compatibility issue ('Hooks.h' is now 'HooksEqu')
- fixing the << and >> operators
- if any files have been unarchived, prompting the user to re-archive them upon exiting the app
- fixing the address of pixelxorhl in mirage.inc/dcs7.inc (are people aware that the correct address for that routine is 40CE, not 40DE?  Has nobody ever used that routine?)

As far as app signing goes, BrandonW claims his Resign program can sign an OS on an 84+ SE in 13 minutes, 20 seconds.  App signing should be faster by about a factor of 4, even ignoring the fact that Brandon's using a rather slow multiplication routine.

Nice. When do you think you'll consider it "stable"?

You know, TI Developer does that for you :)

I just use SVN ;D (I think Sir and I have already had this discussion, so yeah)
Also, we want tiDE, not TiDev! :P

I think I'll stick with what works for me.  I probably should start using a VCS, though.

(Also, uh... is that a giant bundle of Windows binaries, all with different licenses, some free software, some not, none with source code, and not even a readme file to tell you where they all come from?)

It is still in development atm. I doN,t think there's any real public official builds on the forums. I think he only announced it on IRC so far, so it's probably not really packaged well yet. It might be good to add instructions and credits if he didn't already, though.

It's not a giant bundle of windows binaries with some free software and some not, I wrote the damn thing myself :P  It's open source if you ask me for it.  It's a full application.
And it is still in development, but it is definitely working and usable, seeing as I use it all the time.

Ah ok I wasn't sure yet if it was recommended at 100% for development for other people (I remember some people having issues updating or crashes when accidentally closing it then trying to run it again (and had to reinstall), but I am not sure anymore. I think you did a good job at it so far.

Thank you DJ.  It is recommended for install now, and subsequent updates will be installed automatically (although it will ask your permission first).
