[Don]

The subject line says it all.  It just came out today.  I can't find a What's New list.

[Marc Garneau]

Yay! I’ve been waiting for this to be public. There are some cool new features:

And even more that aren't mentioned in this changelog :P

Here is a little file that I put together to help lead some exploration of the new features.

Enjoy. I know I am.

By the way, 4.2 works much better on Mac’s now in terms of opening documents.

[Adrien Bertrand]

In terms of anything, in fact - at least it doesn't crash anymore for me every time there is a popup window!

(Since they finally switched to Java 1.8, I assume this is why)

Thank you,

Adrien Bertrand

Before I upgrade Navigator, I have one question.  Will this upgrade still work with the grey touchpad?  I have a class set of these older calculators that I don’t want to jeopardize my navigator not working with these calcs if I upgrade.

Thanks,

Dan

Anyone having trouble upgrading your Nspire Navigator to 4.2?

 

Maybe this update will be out later today?

 

[Helen Kilgour]

I had no problem upgrading navigator, I played with it a little to make sure it still worked and all seemed ok, it was a straight forward upgrade.

You cannot use the old access point with Version 4.2.0.532....I use CX Navigator with yellow hats. I was able to update the handheld software with no issues but cannot update my Navigator software. Sad because I love the new features for the Navigator. I think I can purchase a new access point without buying the whole system again...fingers crossed.

hhhmmm...I have the antenna access point and it works with 4.2

I have heard it is not recommended by TI with the old access point, but that someone did it anyway and it worked.  I didn't want to jeopardize so I got a new access point.  If someone else can verify that the 4.2 works with the old access point, please respond back!

Does anyone have a link to the Navigator update?  I went to Check for Updates and Notifications on the Navigator Help tab in the software and it says nothing is available. 

[Dennis Donovan]

I got the same thing when I checked for updates.

Here is a direct link: TI-Nspire™ Software Update by Texas Instruments - US and Canada

To get to a page with 4.2 downloads, select a CX handheld, and Navigator Software on the first page, then the Shark Fin access point and yellow hats on the second page.

I haven't upgraded to 4.2 yet, but we got the same warning from TI about using 4.0 on the old antennae access point, but that worked fine, so fingers crossed that 4.2 will work as well.

I wish TI would allow us to "shut off" the CAS features of the nspire CX CAS for testing purposes.  There are many times I would like them to use the nspires we have in class on tests, but I do not want them to have access to the CAS features!  It is not realistic to have both CAS and non CAS calculators in class.  SInce the new OS allows us to turn things on and off from our computer, it would be nice to have this!  I have asked them about it and they said they would pass along this request to the programmers.  I guess they are not listening.  Am I alone in desiring this?

[A Cron]

Requested several years ago, need many more individual requests. How about CAS/NUMERIC toggle would be great too. {Request was in person to one programmer.}

FYI... The HP Prime has this feature.... it also lets you do relations of ANY equation.... I too brought these up to TI at a TI Leadership Conference.  We got some relations (basically inverses and conic sections) with 4.2. 

[math...@gmail.com]

Apparently if you have the old access points you can not upgrade. Very disappointing.

I have heard some say they are using 4.0 with the old access point.  I have the new Shark fin access point.  If I get to it, I will take off and reinstall my old antenna original access oint and see if the software still communicates...

[Dennis Donovan]

I am able to use 4.2 with the old antenna access point.

To upgrade (i.e. Get a link to the 4.2 Navigator Software) you have to tell the upgrade page that you're using CX and/or CX CAS handhelds, TI-Nspire Navigator Software, the Shark fin access point and yellow "hats".

I see that you can change all handhelds setting from our computer for the numeric display (fix, float, etc.), but I guess we can change all of the handheld's graph digit displays?

I disconnected my Shark fin access point, and re-hooked up my old gray TI-Navigator antenna style access point and initially, it didn't connect.  I unplugged the USB and re-plugged in the USB and then all my handhelds connected to 4.2.  I did a quick "Clear All Scratch Pads" as a test and all were cleared! (Love that new feature BTW...)  I closed my Navigator CAS 4.2, and then opened the regular Navigator 4.2 and it automatically connected all my handhelds.  Sounds like a go to download the 4.2 regardless to whether you have the original or shark fin access point.  Anyone in the know as why TI Support doesn't recommend using higher than 3.9 with the old access point?

So I was feeling adventurous this afternoon and I did update my CX Navigator software to 4.2.532 despite having the antenna box access point.  IT WORKED!  And it appears to be connecting to the handhelds better than before.  Go figure!  I am not sure why TI Cares told me it was not possible.
