What's New

New in Version 2.0:
* (OS Version 3.0 ONLY) - added undo feature. Now you can undo your last moves back to the beginning of the puzzle even if you quit the game and come back. If you have the auto-complete feature turned on, the undo also properly reverts any entries entered automatically.
* New look and feel. The application now has a new color theme and the buttons and text have been rearranged for improved usability
* Each level now has a different sized grid. In version 1.0, each level just had smaller puzzles, but this version switches to a different sized grid for each level (level one uses a 6x8 grid, level two uses a 7x9, etc, up to the level 5 puzzles which use a 10x12 grid)
* There is now an auto-save timer that saves the game every minute to make sure you can always get back to where you left off
* Added a first time view. The first time you launch the application it will offer you the ability to review the help page and learn how to play the game.
* Added a keyboard click sound for feedback

Bugs fixed in Version 2.0
* Fixed double click bug to approve auto-entered value
* The application did not pause the puzzle if the game was interrupted (by a phone call or going to sleep). This version properly pauses the game so the timer does not run while interrupted.
* The currently selected cell is now saved off and restored when the game is stopped and started.
* If you have highlight errors turned on, the game now shows the errors when the game is restarted instead of waiting until the first entry is made
* Fixed a bug where the game could think that you have solved it, even if all of the boxes were not filled in.
