On update, I get... A lock screen. An... Unexpected change. I don't really understand why it was included.
I guess it's a touchscreen demo for when you first power up or update. I would like to see that available with a passcode lock, though. Input your pass on the keypad and swipe or press enter.
Notes is a weird variable. For instance, to get the names of all notes in the system, you have to copy Notes to another variable. No copies are involved if you just want the contents of all notes in the system, however!
Same with Programs. I tried using CAS Notes[n] (which displays as at(Notes,n-1) for whatever reason; there is no at function publicly available) and that didn't work (it returned Notes in full), despite it working if you manually replace Notes with its contents. Also, list[n] translates to list(n) in Home. Perhaps we could just have Notes & Notes.Contents? We already have special cased "." with CAS.
Also, why are newlines scrubbed out when reading/writing?? They are kind of important. EDIT: Scrubbing doesn't happen in programs for some reason. Okay.
I'm kind of sad text formatting is lost when doing stuff with notes, but eh. Whatever.
Newlines were never "scrubbed", they were just untypeable and undisplayed in Home or CAS. If you have a Notes(1) with NLs, just evaluate Notes(1) and select-paste the contents into PRINT; PRINT($CONTENTS). You'll see the newlines still show. If you scroll through, you'll see your cursor stop once at each NL as it goes over it. NL typing is one thing I miss from the Nspire. If you're in dire need of it, you can always use CHAR(10) (e.g. "a"+char(10)+"b").
EDIT: Creating a new program via Programs crashes, it looks like. I'm using the emulator to test, though, so that might be why.
How are you trying that? Programs(0):="Q" gives me Error: Invalid input. Programs:=CONCAT(Programs,"Q") doesn't work either (same output).
Trying Notes(3):=Notes(3) returned 1 and removed my Note. Copying a note with math syntax into another empty one killed the formatting. Could you just make formatting work with private use characters or Markdown? Just display it in strings as a compacted descriptor (thinking like the unit symbols).
Also, deleting an app makes the name revert back, but be corrupted, and opening it crashes the calc. It is gone upon reboot, however.
Ninja edit:
Regarding data persistence, do you mean highscores remaining saved even if you recompile a program? That was a serious problem in previous firmware and it would be nice if this was fixed. Is that the case?
You're storing the data in a note. The persistence, copyability, and editability carries over.
