<h2>Crosswords 4.4 beta 96 release</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This release changes how networked games are started and
|
|
communicate.</p>
|
|
|
|
<div id="survey">
|
|
<p>Please <a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GX3XLHR">take
|
|
this survey</a> to help determine what gets done next in
|
|
Crosswords.</p>
|

</div>

|
<h3>New with this release</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<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'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's making
|
|
it too hard to support this, and it only matters in one
|
|
country anyway.)</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>When assigning new tiles, don't sort tiles to left of tray
|
|
divider</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Don't post empty notifications</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Remove "Reconnect" button from network status info</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Include info for all communication means being used in
|
|
network status </li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>(The full changelog
|
|
is <a href="http://xwords.sf.net/and_changes.php">here</a>.)</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Next up</h3>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Offer "Rematch" when game'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>

<p>Please let me know (email eehouse@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!</p>
