Crosswords 4.4 beta 103 release
This is a quick release to work around a recent change in
Google's build tools that broke upgrading on older devices. I'm
leaving the list below, from the previous release, intact.
New with this release
- Rematch option allows creating a new game with the same
opponents, and takes care of sending invitations to the
remote device
- Improve how invitations are created and sent, including
making it easier to resend when necessary
- Finish fixing problem with moves being dropped
- Add Japanese translation; update Catalan, Dutch, and French
(Thanks to Weblate and the translators!)
- Make it easier to "discover" and enable play-via-SMS (GSM
phones only)
- Fix memory leak that caused crashes if you opened a lot of
games in a short period
- Ask player for name the first time it's needed rather than
when newly installed game first opened
- Fix occasional failure to refresh thumbnails
- Don't allow removing players when game is locked (in Game
Config screen)
- Put back long-tap (a.k.a. "context") menus in Games List
screen. Because I like them
- No reminders in robot games by default
- Tweaks to Chat screen, and confirm before deleting chat
history
- Tweak notifications to make them more useful
- Other minor bug fixes
(The full changelog
is here.)
Next up
- Take advantage of Marshmallow's new permissions model (where
the app only asks for them when it needs them.)
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!
