Some notable programs that were missed by Omnimaga news came out in the past few weeks. First of all, on the AFX/Graph 100 calculator series, a compatible version of Lua released in 2010 has been updated on September 6th 2011. The newest version is available here (http://www.planet-casio.com/Fr/logiciels/voir_un_logiciel_casio.php?logiciel=Lua_logiciel&showid=83). Since the AFX series has been discontinued for years, a Casio FX-9860G series version is currently in the works (http://www.planet-casio.com/Fr/forums/topic9817-1-LUA-FX-g85.html). Could this mean a PRIZM version afterward? (The Prizm has a similar processor as the FX-9860G).
Secondly, Xeda112358 has released a new programming language called Grammer this Summer, available here (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/441/44104.html). It is interpreted and can be programmed in the BASIC editor, although it is almost as fast as assembly in most cases. She recently got interviewed (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/news/articles/14/147/147605.html) about it by ticalc.org. A topic about it is available on Omnimaga (http://ourl.ca/11664).
Besides that, someone is attempting the revival of a long time cancelled Zelda project for the 68K series. Originally started (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/261/26100.html) by Jason Ho in 2003 (and featured (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/news/articles/7/78/78420.html) on ticalc.org news), it has been taken over by Kyle Ingalsbe recently. An updated demo was released (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/441/44152.html) a few weeks ago. Hopefully it is finished before 2019 (http://ourl.ca/3119).
Also, as posted on TI-Planet (http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=8185) and brandonw.net (http://brandonw.net/index.php#510) recently, the first modified boot code has been ran on the new TI-84 Pocket.Fr calculator model. A while ago, it was discovered that those calcs ran Boot 1.03, couldn't be downgraded below OS 2.55MP and had a 2048 bit RSA key protection. To downgrade further, you needed to use a program called Flashy (http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=7860), by Brandon Wilson, which allowed you to replace the boot code with an older official one, such as 1.00 or 1.02. This got rid of the extra 6 minutes waiting time during OS validation by Boot 1.03. However, a few weeks ago BrandonW pushed things even further, with his program EpicFail (http://tiplanet.org/index.php?mod=archives&ac=voir&id=3726), which allows you to modify Boot 1.03 itself. This means running unnoficial boot codes is now possible on your TI-84 Plus series calculator!
Finally, ExtendeD has updated Luna not too long ago, now allowing the creation of Lua TNS files without having to use the official tools by Texas Instruments. Starting in OS 3.0.2, TI added a protection that prevented TNS files made with unnoficial tools from being ran. The new version is available here (http://tiplanet.org/index.php?mod=archives&ac=voir&id=3701). More info are also available in both French (http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=8237) and English (http://ndlessly.wordpress.com/2011/09/19/luna-updated-for-third-party-tns-document-generation/).
Since a lot of stuff were missed from news lately, maybe more are also available on our forums (http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=forum) and other ones. Despite the TI community having slowed down over last September (especially the TI-Nspire scene), there are still plenty of projects being worked on and some major breakthroughs. Do not hesitate to give feedback on people's projects or announce your own on the forums!

Can anyone recommend good Lua programs for the N-spire?

I hope too that the FX-9860G's version is quickly ended :)

Don't rush, to end the prject, we need to finsih the file library, and some functions we cannot publish because copyrights...

I think I need to start adding new features again O.O

I hope copyrights will not prevent the project from being finished? ???

We must have the open source equivalent to relase the project like Open Source. We can release source code, bt not these functions

Ah I see. X.x

Woah, so many cool projects, the TI Community is not dying as many claim. Also here (http://ndlessly.wordpress.com/) ExtendeD announced the Luna update, I keep on checking it for news of Ndless 3 ;)
