Release v1.4.1 was mainly to fix a problem where the suit symbols were not being drawn at the correct size (ie too small) on high density devices, such as the HTC DNA, HTC One, Galaxy S4 etc.
We also fixed an issue where a lot of people where finding it confusing that three cards were being turned over a s a group in Klondike (and Vegas). Now, be default, you can see the three cards being turned over separately, so it's more obvious what's going on. We also added a preferences animation option to 'group' these three cards together again, for those people who were comfortable with how it looked originally.
Display issue on HTC DNA, HTC Butterfly

A user has reported that the suit symbols do not display properly on the HTC DNA. It's most likely a problem on all high-density devices, such as the HTC DNA or HTC Butterfly or HTC One. We are working on a fix for this, but in the meantime, if you are having this issue, you could try the Preferences setting to display detailed cards. You can get to it via Menu --> Preferences --> "Card Style"---> "Detailed cards".
We are working on a fix for this, and will get a new release out as soon as we can.
New release v1.4.0
Saturday, 30 March 2013 11:54 | Written by Steve Moseley
After a long wait, v1.4.0 has finally been completed.
This new version adds a huge number of new features, the main ones being:
* Allow player to change the odds of winning by adding a "winnable hands" Game Option to Klondike. This changes how many known, winnable hands you will get. We have had a lot of feedback from people who find it difficult to win Klondike, so hopefully this will satisfy those people. * Added new ways of shuffling: Very thorough (default), Overhand (like a person shuffles), and Riffle (Casino shuffle) For those of you who want a more 'realistic' game, we now reproduce what a person, or a dealer in a casino would do.
We have built up a reasonable list of requests to implement games, so this release includes two new ones, Accordion and La Belle Lucie
Also a whole lot of small additions and enhancements: * Add a small arrow icon near the bottom of the screen, which pops up the menu * Make cards look more like real cards, by setting the new 'detailed cards' preference option * Allow user to use their own image on card backs * New preference added for changing card animation speed: Slow, Medium, Fast or None. * Fix bug where sometimes wrong game was counted as a loss, when changing to a new game * Added some more default table background pictures * Added new preference to ask for confirmation before restarting the current hand * Added menu option to view "What's New" in each release
So, all in all, one of the biggest releases we've ever done - we hope you enjoy it !
