A-Shell is currently available for beta-testing, with two big Python-related changes:
- Python moves from version 3.11 to 3.13
- adds support for scipy, sciait-learn, seaborn…

@tkanthh It’s the stock iOS keyboard, the toolbar above it is part of @a_Shell_iOS, which is such a Swiss Army knife for me

@UnbeatableTrade @Apple Well, the good news is you don't have to wait for Apple to release it.
The bad news, of course, is that it won't be made by Apple, but by a small indie developer.

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 bug fixes.

And now I have to get back to everyone who asked for h.265 encoding, to whom I replied: "I can't do it, libx265 is GPL", and update the reply with: "actually I did it, using libkvazaar, which is BSD-licensed" (thanks, guys).
Encode your videos with: "-c:v libkvazaar -tag:v hvc1".

Version 1.15.7 is out on the AppStore.
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.

Sorry for this backward incompatibility, I'm trying really hard to avoid them but this one was just unavoidable. It reverts a bad decision I made 4 years ago.
On the plus side, a-Shell is now immune to the year 2038 bug.

The changes also mean that ripgrep is now compatible with the Wasm3 engine. You'll have to reinstall it (pkg install rg), but once it's done, it's blazingly *fast*.

Wasm3 was incorporated in a-Shell recently, resulting in a 10x speedup for some commands (xz, unzip).
It's an awesome piece of code, and the best WebAssembly interpreter I've tried.

I regret to inform the community that since my own house was destroyed by russians who invaded my country, Wasm3 has entered a minimal maintenance phase.

@maciejcupial Depends on what you mean by IDE, what libraries you need and what connectivity you have. A-Shell focuses on being a local terminal, but the UI is rustic (CLI mostly, vim) and libraries are limited. If you need more, there are good ssh terminals (including a-Shell, too).

@Apple can we PLEASE get a decent terminal emulator on iPhone/iPad? You can void my warranty or whatever just let me actually use the phone's resources.

@a_Shell_iOS @Apple I use a-shell but I want to be able to access the network hardware and use commands like nmap and ifconfig from my phone which is something only @Apple could allow due to the app sandboxing. I love your app though!

@a_Shell_iOS Is it possible to edit vimrc currently? getting some odd errors, seem like permission related.

@rokkovach One specificity of iOS is that you cannot write in ~, only in ~/Documents/. So all configuration files have been moved there. Try editing ~/Documents/.vimrc or copying your .vim directory to ~/Documents (which is also the folder you see in the Files app).

Another update to a-Shell, v. 1.15.6. We’re still dealing with an iOS 18 bug where “Get File” sometimes deletes the file (!). In this new version, “Get File” works as before, which means it *can* delete the file. If it happens, there’s the option (as a copy), which is immune.
Two quick updates to a-Shell:
- version 1.15.3 fixes an issue with Shortcuts and iOS 18.
- version 1.15.4 fixes an issue with TeX and clang that was introduced with XCode 16.
The same updates are still “waiting for review” for a-Shell mini.

@JohnAlanWoods On the Deceloper forums. No reactions. Other developers have met the same issue.
