+## Announcing ProDOS 2.4.3 for all Apple II computers
+
+<img src="/pix/prodos243/ProDOS-2.4.3-title.png">
+
+* ProDOS 2.4.3 updates the **Thunderclock year table** so it goes beyond 2023.
+* ProDOS 2.4.2 replaces the previous <a href="/releases/prodos-24/">ProDOS 2.4</a>, <a href="/releases/prodos-241/">ProDOS 2.4.1</a>, and <a href="/releases/prodos-242/">ProDOS 2.4.2</a> releases.
+
+<p>&nbsp;</p>
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+## Bugs fixed:
+
+* Fix long standing bug where `CATALOG` would fail on **directories** that have `128 blocks` or more.
+- Fix crash starting **A2osX** _([issue 55](https://github.com/ProDOS-8/ProDOS8-Testing/issues/55))_.
+- Fix bug where ProDOS would not distinguish disks with the same volume name, _([issues 46](https://github.com/ProDOS-8/ProDOS8-Testing/issues/46))_ and _([issue 50](https://github.com/ProDOS-8/ProDOS8-Testing/issues/50))_.
+- Fix **splash screen** to not use lower case on II and II+ machines with a **65C02 or 65816 CPU upgrade**.
+- Fix long standing bug that prevented **creating more than 33024 files in a directory**.
+- Fix long standing bug where `SET_MARK` on **directories** would fail for **offsets** past `block 128`.
+
+<p>&nbsp;</p>
+
+## Updates:
+
+- Thunderclock driver updated for years 2023-2028, _([issue 72](https://github.com/ProDOS-8/ProDOS8-Testing/issues/72))_.
+
+### `BASIC.SYSTEM` changed from 1.6 to 1.7:
+
+* Delete key is mapped to left arrow.
+* `RENAME` command supports using space _(new)_ or comma _(as before)_ between the filenames, e.g. `RENAME f1 f2`".
+* Bump `IVERSION` to `7` at globals `$BFFD`
