As noted in the previous news, Romain has stopped participating in the development of LPG software, after ten years and lots of work in the service of the community - but development goes on ;-)
I've made a script for *nix platforms (tested so far on Debian Lenny, Ubuntu 9.04, Ubuntu 9.10), to make it easier for people to test bugfixes directly from SVN: it checkouts (or updates, if a previous checkout is present) libti*, gfm and tilp from SVN, compiles and installs them. You can download the script here.
Be sure to look inside it: you can find information on the packages you need for a successful compilation, and modify the path for the checkout and the $PREFIX where the binaries are installed.. - 2009/06/04 by roms:
After this release (1.13), I decided to _stop_ development of TiLP & TiEmu. There are various reasons for this:- I have been working in the TI-68k community for about ten years, and I would like to focus on other activities that I have become more interested in,
- the community is dying or has been almost dead since 2007. The Nspire could have reversed the flow, but it remains, to date, a piece of hardware and software closed to third-party, amateur development. It's an enormous shame (in my opinion and in the opinion of many other TI-68k developers), because "hackability" and third-party development was THE factor of success in the marketplace for TI-Z80 and TI-68k calculators.

The current release of TiLP (1.12) works with NSpire & NSpire-CAS (OS 1.6).
As you may have noticed, TiLP-1 has been removed from ticalc.org archives because it has been replaced by TiLP-2 since the middle of 2006.
A new release is being prepared: better support of Windows Vista and full Windows 64-bits support.
Please note that Windows 9x/Me/NT4 support will be dropped in the next releases of TiLP. But, the v1.12 will still be available in the download section so that Windows 9x/Me/NT4 users can still get TiLP2 for this platform.

TiLP2 v1.11 released: full NSpire support (OS 1.2 & 1.3) and full NSpire-CAS support.
- 2008/01/14 by roms:
Six months later, I am very happy to announce the release of TiLP2 v1.10. This release includes the usual improvements and bug fixes and adds NSpire support (picture here). Please note that NSpire-CAS has not been tested...
- 2007/08/30 by roms:
TiLP2 v1.07 has just been released. This release does not contains non-free software any longer: PortTalk NT I/O driver has been replaced by MPlayer's DHA driver and my USB driver has been replaced by libusb-win32 one.
The grouping/ungrouping capabilities of TiLP have been moved into a new application called GFM (Group File Manager).

Due to an exchange between the IUFM (University training French teachers at Grenoble) and UTeach (University training Texan teachers at Austin,Texas), I was at Austin from March the 24th to April the 7th. So, I had the opportunity to meet people of TI-EPS at Dallas.
After several mails and letters and a 30' international phone call, I got an appointment with Steve (Ti-Cares Customer Support) and Herbert (Manager of Business Services) on Monday the 2nd to discuss about hand-helds and Linux. I rent a car at Austin and 4 hours later, I was in Dallas!
The appointment have last 3 hours: a tour of the company (call center, T3 program and delivering), a question roadmap, a presentation of LPG's various Linux software and a presentation of the new nspire by TI.
To sump-up: no way to get any documentation and/or (un)official Linux support. I will not give the reasons here but they are related to money and reputation.
I have talked about the Titanium-USB/Linux bug: I will send a bug report but they can't promise anything (cost).

- 2006/10/17 by roms:
With some help from the linux-usb mailing list, we have discovered why Titanium has a problem with Linux:
<<> Any ideas about this 'bug'? Is it related to kernel or bad hand-held
>>
> hardware?
It is a bug in the Titanium firmware. In the logs for both handhelds you
can see where the kernel sends a Set-Interface request after your driver
releases the interface. (The kernel does this automatically so that the
interface will be back in its original condition when the next driver
binds to it.) Both devices return an error, which is a perfectly legal
response.
However the Titanium then crashes. It doesn't respond to the Clear-Halt
commands sent by the kernel after the Set-Interface fails, whereas the
TI84+ acknowledges them correctly. Since it has crashed, your driver is
unable to reconnect and you have to reset the device by unplugging it.
The source of the errors is the Titanium failure to respond to the
kernel's Clear-Halt requests.

Yeah, TiLP2 v1.00 has been released on ticalc.org. This is the first stable & official release. Great thanks to Benjamin Moody for his analysis of the TI84+ USB protocol.
The Link Guide has been updated consequently, too
Important note: TiLP1 is _not_ supported any longer.
