OS 4.1 Overview
OS 4.1 is primary a bug fix release of OS 4.0. Basically, the OS offers
no new features or functionality in comparison to 4.0. However, because
of the nature of some of the fixes, it was not possible to release it as
a prc patch to be installed on OS devices with OS 4.0. Rather, it is a
full flash ROM image. This means that devices that do not have flashable
ROM can not be updated to OS 4.1. Further, it is up to individual
licensees do distribute flash updates for their devices that do have
flashable ROM. Below is a compiled list of bugs that were fixed in OS
4.1 that pertain to 3rd party development. There were a large number of
other fixes put into the update, many of which were specific to an
individual application in the ROM and would not effect outside
development. These fixes are not mentioned in the below list. 
* WinPaintPixel did not draw properly with custom pattern. If the custom
pattern was active, calling WinPaintPixel caused the pixel to always
draw using the background color.
* 3rd party Alarm sound databases using a different database name than
the standard but with a lower version number displayed as options in the
datebook's alarm picker, but would not actually play. Changed to not
display in such a case.
* Leading spaces of URL in OpenURL menu crashed the device.
* CtlNewSliderControl did not set the graphical attribute on the slider
controls it created.
* If you have a slider control with a non-exact background bitmap (i.e.,
the bitmap is not exactly the same width as your slider), you almost
always got "Background must be at least half as wide as slider" whenever
the OS attempts to draw the slider.
* Sliders with non-zero minValues did not work properly.
* Graphics filling rectangles using solid patterns with some transfer
modes did the wrong thing.
* Strings that contain a Hiragana/Katakana vowel followed by a Cho-on (a
bar that extends the sound of the previous vowel) don't sort correctly.
* Resizing a file on a peripheral card for the first time by an amount
that is larger than the space available on the peripheral card resulted
in the rest of the space on the card being "lost." 
* If two files are created on a peripheral card with filenames longer
than 27 characters, and all characters after the first 13 are the same,
the second file could not be accessed
* TsmSetFepMode did not work if a numeric field has the focus in the
form. It also did not work if there is no form being displayed.
* Calling ATSmsGetMessageCount with a message type "MA" caused Fatalexception
* RxEnable, RxDisable op codes for SrmControl did not work for virtualdrivers.
* Could only dismount 1 file system.* Could only mount 4 FAT file systems.
* INetLib filled in DeviceID in the CTP Header extension by calling the
network interface directly.
* The stdFont for Japanese had incorrect glyphs for the Box drawing
characters (and the kg and mg glyphs).
* A "bad window" error popped up on debug ROMs if the window bit depth
was greater than that of the screen.
* The character height for Symbol7 font was incorrect.
* From Clipper a button label with Japanese text in an <a> anchor tag
with 'button' attribute was not displayed. 
* Long volume name support was not compatible with peripheral card
implementation (/palm/volinfo.txt vs. /Volume.nam)
* With some devices, 255 character volume names did not work.
* When opening a file for exclusive read access, a "File permissions
denied" error was returned. When opening a directory, permissions were
not ignored.* When FSFileCreate was called to set the filename which has
"space"
character after 8th letter, the extension of alias name (DOS or legacy
name) was wrong.
* VFSFileRead did not return vfsErrFileEOF when reading past the end ofa file.
* sysNotifyEvtGotEvent notification was a significant performance drain
for games because it went out for every event. This was fixed to limit
the notification to a subset of events.
* LmGetLocaleSetting returned invalid characters for currencies inJapanese ROM.
* Using the dynamic UI creation routines did work properly when there
was a list on the form with static entries created in Constructor.
* Using dynamic UI on a form with graphical or slider controls would
corrupt which bitmaps are drawn unpredictably.
* Invalid pointer sent to TelPhbGetSelectedPhonebook resulted in crash
* Tapping on links that invoke a "palmcall" results in the title bar
being temporarily frozen to reading, "Connecting...", with the hypnotic
circle/meatball displayed.
* Shortcut .. 6 always displays the Palm OS 4.0 ROM compile date versus
the device-specific ROM compile date.
* TCP window size is not updated when the window size drops below the
maximum segment size, but is greater than zero.
* Netlib settings were improperly updated on disconnect.
* If web clipping isn't installed, viewing the contents of a card that
includes a .pqa that uses the default icon, resulted in a fatal alert.
* Intermittent secure transaction error 1428 "The server has updated the
security sequence number" when loading pqas
* "Hidden" peripheral card with no start.prc still caused switch toLauncher.
* Repeatedly inserting unformatted peripheral cards resulted in stacked
format dialogs.
* HotSycing after adding a FAT file system to a device results in a
Fatal Exception.

ennesima conferma che la handspring ha fatto bene a far uscire Neo e Pro 
con l'os 4.0 :)

ah, ecco, in effetti mi pareva che la cosa non funzionasse :)))

umh, peccato, sono abituato a nominare tutti i devices con interi 
cantici della divina commedia /dev/permesivanellacittadolente...
