FutureSmart 4.7.1 has been released with a number of changes that developers will be interested in. As always, you can download the latest firmware from here.
Do you want to know what changes are in this revision? The standard release notes that accompany FutureSmart firmware releases are targeted at end-customers, which means they are not as helpful as they could be to JetAdvantage solution developers. To fix this, we're starting to create release notes specifically for developers. You'll find those on the FutureSmart Firmware Solution Developer Release Notes page.

HP is pleased to announce the release of version 1.1.0 of the Link for Android Mobile SDK.
In August of this year we announced the Developers Release of JetAdvantage Link SDKs on the Developer’s Portal, providing developers powerful and simpler ways to create print and scan integrations for end-users. We are improving our platform in our latest release, JetAdvantage Link for Android Mobile SDK version 1.1.0.
Link for Android Mobile SDK (version 1.1.0):
Please note: A device firmware upgrade to FutureSmart Bundle 4.7 is recommended but not required for use with this SDK. Find and download the firmware here.
The App Gallery has been disabled in FutureSmart Bundle 4.7
The on-device App Gallery has been disabled in FutureSmart Bundle 4.7. If usage is attempted, a message stating “This app has been disabled” will be displayed. Please do not report this as an issue to the SDK support forum.
App Gallery will return in a future FutureSmart release as a tool more tailored for use by resellers (not end users). Among the changes being considered, a verified reseller login may be required to use the App Gallery.
In the coming months, watch for more announcements related to reseller-focused app deployment tools and capabilities. This will include the redesigned App Gallery as well as a new web-based HP App Manager tool to enable remote deployment to fleets of Printers/MFPs (currently in Beta).
Note: The HPK tool and LDB are still be available for app testing purposes.

As communicated at the Partner Conference in May and the Partner Tech Talk in July, the Pagewide P-Series class of printers are designed as lower cost, lower feature offerings that support limited extensibility. As a reminder, Pagewide P-Series products include the A3 devices released last spring: HP Pagewide Managed Color MFP P77440 and P77940/50/60 and HP Pagewide Managed Color P75250.
As a result of this strategy, Pagewide P-series products will not support OXPd solutions. OXPd solutions will continue to be compatible with our PageWide Enterprise class of products. Consistent with prior communication, starting with FutureSmart 4.7, OXPd solutions that may have worked initially on Pagewide P-Series products will no longer be supported. HP wants to ensure you are alerted to this coming change.

HP has struck a major deal with Chinese 3D printing company Shining 3D ePrint for 50 Jet Fusion printers. The purchase - the largest to date for HP 3D - signals an expansion in the Asia-Pacific region.
One year and one day after it introduced the world's first production-ready 3D printing solutions, HP's Jet Fusion 3D printing technology was crowned "Innovation of the Year" at the inaugural 3D Printing Industry Awards in London.
At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the second generation of the Sprout Pro by HP caught the attention of Melissa Riofrio, executive editor of PC World.
For Hour of Code, more than 1,000 HP employees volunteered in 500 classrooms around the world to introduce almost 15,000 students to the basics of coding.
Melanie Robertson, a software engineer for HP's Link Technology team, got fed up with constant interruptions. She decided to "fight for her right to code" without incessant interruptions. But how to do that? Read her solution in "Not coding makes me cranky."
In the history of the new HP Inc., 2016 will stand out as the year the company was created, shipped its first Jet Fusion 3D printers, and launched a public developer portal so developers can create apps for HP hardware.
At the Indie Game Con in Eugene, Oregon, USA, HP is introducing Link Creation Studio, which allows game developers to embed invisible digital watermarks on printed images, like game cards and posters.
