<h3>New with this release</h3>
<ul>
<li>Don&apos;t crash copying games</li>
<li>Change how games communicate: instead of using only one
means (e.g. Bluetooth, SMS, or the internet/relay) a game can
use all three, switching based on what works at the time</li>
<li>Game creation means picking whether you&apos;re networked or not,
not how to communicate (though you can still control that if
you like)</li>
<li>Separate inviting from playing: e.g. you can invite via
Bluetooth to a game that will be played via SMS</li>
<li>A game that needs remote players has an dialog on top of it
at all times you can use to invite players. The dialog goes
away when invited players connect.</li>
<li>New game are placed in the selected group (if any, otherwise
in default as before)</li>
<li>Add new-games buttons to main screen, and offer to hide them
after a while</li>
<li>Offer to turn Bluetooth and SMS on directly rather than just
take you to the Android prefs app</li>
<li>Hide public rooms interface by default, and add a preference
to turn it back on</li>
<li>Remove option to invite using SMS, since invitations are too
large now. (Will address in a release soon.)</li>
<li>Kill play-via-SMS for non-GSM phones. (Google&apos;s making
it too hard to support this, and it only matters in one
country anyway.)</li>
<li>When assigning new tiles, don&apos;t sort tiles to left of tray
divider</li>
<li>Don&apos;t post empty notifications</li>
<li>Remove &quot;Reconnect&quot; button from network status info</li>
<li>Include info for all communication means being used in
network status </li>
</ul>

<h3>Next up</h3>
<ul>
<li>Finish fixing things so you don&apos;t have to specify how
two devices will communicate: Bluetooth, Relay, SMS -
shouldn&apos;t be something you have to pick. I should just
use what works at the time. (This is coming along, but
still weeks out.)</li>
<li>Offer &quot;Rematch&quot; when game&apos;s over (easy if I get
the above right)</li>
<li>Offer &quot;Rematch&quot; when game&apos;s over (Easy via
SMS and Bluetooth; harder via the internet/relay)</li>
<li>Fix invite-by-SMS (and then re-enable)</li>
<li>Look into supporting play via peer-to-peer wifi</li>
</ul>
