Update Description:
v4.2:
- Fix bug causing whole board to be redrawn when focus moved between it and the tray.
- Remove the "rc1" designation from the About box.
v4.2 beta 6 (23-11-2008):
- Make scoreboard region holding remaining tile count focussable and clickable, and on click put up the Remaining Tiles dialog.
- Resize New game/Game info dialog based on number of players displayed.
- Add /Program Files/Crosswords, the location where .cab files put dictionaries, to the list searched on startup. Use OS function to find regardless of the language into which "Program Files" is translated. (Note: .cab files don't work for Smartphone yet.)
- Fix icons. Crosswords should now have a decent-looking icon on every size screen.
- Make focus travel over all tray tiles when tray is hidden (showing as ? marks.)
- Change how board and tray are drawn when focussed: highlight perimeter cells/ all tiles rather than drawing an opaque border.
- When moving cursor around board, don't skip occupied cells. Makes it easier to navigate. (Alt key now allows skipping for faster movement, but Smartphone doesn't have one.)
- Speed up calculation of correct size font for screen. Fix fit of "Rem:" tiles area for all screen sizes. Stop printing "Pts" as part of pending score display in tray since it doesn't fit on all screen sizes.
- Display check marks next to toggling menu items, e.g. "Full screen".
- Fixed bug: timer drawn in empty region on some screen sizes.
- Fixed bug: hint menu selection would sometimes also commit turn.
- Fixed bug: limits rect ignored for vertical hint search for first move only. This only effected touch-screen devices as there's no way to activate the hint rect with keys (yet).
