Crosswords 4.4.115 release
This release uses the new permissions process introduced with
Android "Marshmallow": Crosswords only asks for permissions when
they're required.
New with this release
- Request permissions when they're needed, e.g. ask to send
SMS messages when you configure a game to communicate using
SMS
- Other permissions required are for access to storage and to
contacts
- Use less battery by being smarter about how often to check
the relay for moves (This will mostly impact those
installing from F-Droid.)
- New two-color icon for notifications (required by the newer
Android that supports run-time permissions)
- Allow board "squares" to be wider than tall if it
fills the screen better
- Improvements in localization for French, Catalan, Dutch,
Czech and Japanese (via Weblate)
(The full changelog
is here.)
Next up
- Continue work to support WiFi Direct (currently working
sporadically)
Please let me know
(email xwords@eehouse.org)
what's broken and what features you'd most like to
see. And if you do get a crash, please let your device report it
to Google so I can see it!
Thanks!
