<b>Crosswords 4.4 beta 76 release</b>
|
2013-09-28 18:55:06 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2013-12-03 15:41:45 +01:00
|
|
|
<p>(Betas 74 through 76 fix bugs but add nothing new, so the previous
|
|
|
|
|
notes remain in place.)</p>
|
2013-11-29 16:35:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Beta 73 adds two new features, snapshots of in-progress games
|
2013-11-24 00:33:08 +01:00
|
|
|
displayed as part of the main Games List screen, and the ability to
|
|
|
|
|
send invitations by tapping your device against the one you want to
|
2013-11-29 16:35:31 +01:00
|
|
|
invite (using "Near Field Communication", or NFC, which
|
|
|
|
|
Google brands "Android beaming".)</p>
|
2013-10-24 16:30:39 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2013-11-24 00:33:08 +01:00
|
|
|
<p>Both features are optional. NFC is off by default, so you have to
|
|
|
|
|
enable it via Google's system Preferences app. And snapshots, while
|
|
|
|
|
on by default, can be disabled (or resized to better fit your
|
|
|
|
|
screen) in Crosswords' App Preferences section under
|
|
|
|
|
Appearances.</p>
