 <b>Crosswords 4.4 beta 17 release</b>
 
 <p>This release changes how networked games are created, configured 
-and connect with each other.  It tries to make the process simpler and 
-should mean it's much more likely to succeed.  I've also scattered 
-"new user hints" around the app, dialogs with tips that you can 
-dismiss with a "Do not show again" button when you don't need to see 
-that hint again.</p>
+and connected.  For the most common two player/two device game there's 
+a new dialog that asks for the one piece of information that's 
+absolutely required: the room name.</p>
 
-<p>I'm breaking from tradition and not listing bugs fixed or features 
-added here -- because there have been well over 300 separate changes 
-committed since the last beta.  Instead I'll outline how you get 
-started with a two-player networked game.</p>
+<p>I've also scattered "new user hints" around the app, dialogs with

-<p>Assume you and a friend each have Crosswords on an Android phone. 
-You both need to
-  <ul>
-  <li>Launch Crosswords and tap the "Add networked game" button on 
-  your device</li>
-
-  <li>When the game appears, long-tap it and choose "Game settings..." 
-  from the menu</li>
-
-  <li>Agree on a "room name" -- let's say it's "andy" --and enter it 
-  in the "New room name" text box.</li>
-
-  <li>Scroll to the bottom of the window and tap the "Play game" button</li>
-
-  <li>Wait as your phones connect.  You'll see a status message and 
-  maybe a "new user hint", then the status icon in the upper-right 
-  will go all-green and boards on both phones will get tiles</li>
-
-  <li>Now the first player makes a move, commits it, and it shows up 
-  on the other device.  Rinse, lather, repeat.</li>
-
-  <li>The "relay" server stores moves it receives until it can deliver 
-  them.  If you have a bunch of networked games going, choose the 
-  "Check server" menu on the main list-of-games screen.  It will 
-  redraw all games for which there are waiting messages.  You can then 
-  open them and they will sync up.</li>
-
-</ul>
-</p>
+<p>The server through which networked games connect has also been 
+rewritten, and games created with earlier versions will no longer 
+connect.  I appologize to those who cannot finish games, especially if 
+you were winning!</p>
 
 <p>Please remember that this is beta software.  Letting me know (at
