Mike,
The old j32 will stop running on some future iOS release. Perhaps before
October.

Thanks, Eric.
I've just bitten the bullet and upgraded my iPad Air to IOS 10.3.2(14F89)
(I don't know if the bracketed details are significant)
I then downloaded the J64 "app" - it started up ok, and the initial demos
worked fine.
What surprised me is that the old J32 app still appears to work, at
least to load up and run its help buttons. I thought it was supposed to
be incompatible with IOS 10.3.2 !
Cheers,
Mike

A new J build has been released at the app store. This is a 64 bit product
with a 64 bit J engine. The engine in both J32 and J64 is J701.
This was primarily driven by Apple's announced intention to stop
supporting
32 bit on newer iOS versions. Lots of speculation, but this probably
happens by October.
The new version requires iOS version 10.3 or later and an appropriate 64
bit processor. This is for iPhone 6 or later. The iPad models are more
complicated and it is probably easiest to make sure yours runs the latest
iOS and try the download (which fails gracefully if your device is not
suitable).
A few other changes were made:
better use of screen space
suspended input (multi-line definitions, debug, and 1!:1[1) works
properly
***
Work has started on the next product with more significant changes.
This will include a J805 engine, improvements to the UI, enhanced keyboard
entry suited to J, and an easy to use data transfer facility between iX
and
desktop.
This will be a modestly priced product.
This product will probably be available before year end.
