In a previous news item, you could discover ahead of time on TI-Planet the latest beta of the new TI-Connect 4.0 linking software, adding support for the 84+ C Silver Edition calculator to the existing TI-Z80 and TI-68k support.
More precisely, the showcased version was 4.0.0.209.
Tonight, the final version, TI-Connect 4.0.0.218 was released. It represents the first update of the TI-Connect software for Windows since 2010!

You can now transfer images and install OS upgrades to your 84+ C Silver Edition from Windows!
(with the official software, that is - the third-party TILP II 1.17 software, which was recently published, already enabled doing it, provided the .8c? files were renamed to .8x?)
One other thing :
For a few days (http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=11525) already, you were able to download, in exclusivity on TI-Planet, the OS v4.0 for the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition!
Indeed, a little tool by Critor was capable to create installable OS files from a ROM image of the calculator.
In the previous news (http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11550), TI-Connect 4.0 for Windows just came out.
And like all the Windows versions of TI-Connect, it comes with a bundle of device-installable OS files, and here with the OS 4.0 for the brand new TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition.
After an hexadecimal comparison of the files ignoring the headers, we can see that this OS 4.0's code is 100% identical that the one running on my sample TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition.
Consequently, the OS bundled with TI-Connect 4.0 also suffers from all the bugs (http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11281) we noticed in our review some weeks ago. :(
The same goes for the 4.0 OS file available on TI's site (http://education.ti.com/en/us/software/details/en/5F0CBAC101194542B16B80BCE6CB3602/ti-84-plus-c-silver-edition-operating-system), which is the same as TI-Connect 4.0 's one :(
Enjoy!
