Version 1.16.1 of a-Shell (a terminal for iOS) is now out on the AppStore:
- a new command, "repeatCommand", will execute the command given in argument at regular intervals. repeatCommand with no arguments shows the current command, and "repeatCommand --stop" will stop the repetition.

I'm getting reports of people using copyparty on their iPhones using a-Shell. I did not see that one coming, but I'm happy if it can help.

Version 1.16.0 of a-Shell is now out with the texlive-2025 binaries.

The TestFlight version of a-Shell has the texlive-2025 binaries (and you can install a basic texlive-2025 distribution with "pkg install texlive-2025"). If you're an a-Shell TeX user, can you test it before I make it the official release?

a-Shell has two types of binaries: native binaries, compiled to Arm64, and WebAssembly binaries. The former have to be embedded with the app, the latter can be downloaded on demand with "pkg". I regularly add new WebAssembly commands. The latest are "morse" and "age", the encryption tool. Enjoy.

Two big news today:
- a-Shell has reached one million installs (cumulated for both apps: 539k for a-Shell, 461k for a-Shell mini)
- we have a new version on the AppStore: 1.15.9
What's new: h.265 encoding for ffmpeg and HEIF decoding for ImageMagick, updated bc, plus *tons* of bug fixes.

Version 1.15.7 is out on tha AppStore (a-Shell and a-Shell mini).
It fixes issues with the WebAssembly interpreters: how they scan directories, and how they set modification/acces dates.
The bad news is there's a backward incompatibility: if you installed zip or xz, you'll have to reinstall them.

New account, for all announcements related to a-Shell (the iOS terminal app).
New release is version 1.15.7, coming soon, with minor changes.
