Einstein

Binary Release v2025.12.19 ========================== User Release Notes ------------------ - new menu item "Snapshot..." to take screenshots

Binary Release v2025.9.26 ========================== User Release Notes ------------------ - various maintenance updates and fixes

Binary Release v2024.12.26 ========================== User Release Notes ------------------ - various maintenance fixes

Binary Release v2024.4.22 ========================= User Release Notes ------------------ - new NewtonScript function for Toolkit: `MakeIconFromFile("something/something.png")` generates a black and white icon frame using the gray or red channel of an image and the alpha channel, if it exists - fixed newt/64 package generation where it was generating superfluous `_nextArgFrame` entries.

Binary Release v2024.4.21 ========================= Maintenance Release Notes ------------------ - updates to the CMake build system (modern CMake) - update to FLTK 1.4.0 - fixes for MS Windows version on ARM64 CPUs

Binary Release v2022.4.20 ========================= User Release Notes ------------------ - printer support ported to Linux and MSWindows in addition to the already working macOS implementation - fixed settings dialog to directly enter ROM and Flash file names in input fields

Binary Release v2022.4.19 ========================= **This release has been superseded by [v2022.4.20](https://github.com/pguyot/Einstein/releases/tag/v2022.4.20) which contains important bug fixes for printing.** User Release Notes ------------------ - printer support for macOS hosts, printer driver is built into REX Toolkit Release Notes --------------------- - NewtonScript host file access

Binary Release v2022.4.18 ========================= User Release Notes ------------------ - new setting to scale the Newton screen at startup Toolkit Release Notes --------------------- - NewtonScript strings can now have a tab character in them - new NS command `MakeBinaryFromARM` translates ARM assembler into binary data - new Script command `PatchFileFromARM` to patch ROM files using ARM assembly code - Toolkit remembers the recent eight Script files for quick access Binary Release v2022.4.17 ========================= This is our first automated binary release for Einstein. Release 4.17 contains a few unfinished features for early testing. After collecting user somments, a full featured set will be implemented in v2022.5.0. User Release Notes ------------------ - Y10k problem is always fixed, time and date is set automatically - Newtwork setup now emulates DHCP, many more network emulation fixes - Added Credits and Licenses section to the About panel - Added Essentials panel for easy install of common tools and apps - print screenshots (FLTK) Developer Release Notes ----------------------- - serial port drivers changed internally - many fixes to building, bug finding, and deployment - many fixes to formatting and ease of maintenance - REx can now compile on modern machines - the REx is now part of the app (Cocoa) Releases come for different CPUs: - x64 stands for Intel 64 bit CPUs - arm64 binaries run on 64 bit ARM systems - universal binaries run on Apple Intel and M1 Apple silicon Releases use different User Interface libraries: - Cocoa is Paul's original version running on MacOS without additional software - FLTK adds PCMCIA and Toolkit support and runs on all desktop platforms - the Androis version uses NDK directly and is not yet part of this release yet - due to restriction in the Apple Stroe, the iOS version needs to be built from source as explained in BUILDING.md And as always, enjoy, and give us feedback, no matter if good or bad.

This release folder contains binary releases that are older than 2016. **Note:** The `Source code (zip)` and `Source code (tar.gz)` archives do **NOT** contain any historical release binaries. They contain a snapshot of the Einstein source code at the time that this page was created (18 May 2018).

This release introduces emulation of the MessagePad external serial port for MacOS hosts. Einstein can emulate the serial port and redirect the connection to Unix style pipes, to a Unix pseudo terminal, or to a special pseudo terminal "/tmp/pty.BasiliskII" which gracefully handles connections to NTK and NCU running inside the Classic Mac emulator BasiliskII.

This pre-release tests a low level hardware emulation of the external serial port. Try this out by downloading the corresponding version of NCX from GitHub: https://github.com/MatthiasWM/newton-connection/releases/tag/mv0.1 Just launch NCX and Einstein on the same machine. Then start the docking app on the emulated Newton and connect via the default "Serial" setting. Einstein's Newton should connect to NCX within 5 seconds. Feedback appreciated: einstein@matthiasm.com

It's been a while! Here are some up-to-date binaries for macOS 10.8 and higher, and Ubuntu 16. You don't need the dSYM file. It's only useful to Einstein developers for analyzing macOS crash reports.
