Calculator Scripts 1.8.12 is released. One release for macOS, Linux and Windows — Ada 2022, AdaCL.Serial with fixed macOS support underneath.

Three things are new:

- macOS communication is fixed.
- The console can be established either way. Start the tool, then enter SERIAL CONSOLE, or the other way round.
- `dm_receive` is finished. I download a memory dump without copy-and-paste, and only the needed lines are saved.

`dm_send` is still planned but I will need to make a fix for newer Linux versions as well. There have been changes to how the baud rate is set.

The workshop note for the serial setup and the new receive tool is [Talking to the DM16L,  
and receiving a dump](https://calculator-scripts.sourceforge.io/swiss-micros-tools/dm_receive/). Sources are on the [master  
branch](https://sourceforge.net/p/calculator-scripts/code/ci/master/tree/). Crates go out through Alire. Binaries are on  
[SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/calculator-scripts/files/).
