• Fireworkz Pro 2 version 2.33.00 released

    From Andrew Rawnsley@3:633/10 to All on Sunday, October 19, 2025 23:15:09

    We are pleased to announce the release of Fireworkz Pro version 2.33.00 as
    a free upgrade for existing users of 2.3x series. It is available to
    download now on !Store - look in your "My Software".

    The new version includes a number of changes including:

    Improved load / save performance on modern systems (helpful on
    SD-based systems)

    VerityMono font (included) is used where monospaced fonts are
    presently used on systems that don't have DejaVu Mono already
    present. This improves on-screen presentation especially for
    older computers or those running vanilla RISC OS 5.

    No longer leaves hourglass on exit (thank goodness!)

    Improved documentation and example files - updated content,
    fixed links and extended function examples

    Correct handling of 2-colour toolbar sprites

    Built using latest tools for improved SWI performance, but still
    compatible with older systems

    Overall this new version should perform faster and look nicer than
    previous versons, whilst fixing some bugs.

    Users who qualify for the update can download now on !Store. We'll also
    have CD versions (can be put on USB stick too, but bring your stick as
    we'll only have larger ones for sale) at the London Show for people
    looking for physical copies. Existing users can purchase the CD/physical edition for a very low cost making it an ideal show-trinket, whilst other folks can take advantage of show prices on upgrades/full copies.

    Fireworkz Pro 2 is an office suite for RISC OS with word processor, spreadsheet and database facilities. Its spreadsheet elements are particularly strong with Excel import/export. Tabling facilities make it ideal for use with DTP packages like Impression/Ovation with data-driven "live" tables and charts. Web/HTML export is also included as well as PDF facilities.

    The software is supplied with several manuals and many examples, tutorials
    and reference files.

    For more information, please look for it on !Store.

    Best wishes,

    Andrew
