v1.6.x Released

Release date: 2011/05/28-29

v1.6 was released on the 28th, going up to 1.6.3 over the weekend to workaround some Android 2.1 bugs and add a color picker dialog.

What's new:

• Added search on stroke. You can now get immediate feedback as you draw a character, on the same screen. Adding/removing a stroke automatically triggers recognition.
• Drawing pen size and color are no adjustable. You can select any color with the built-in color selector (added in 1.6.3)
• Shake to delete stroke/clear all. A simple shake will delete the last stroke or clear the drawing canvas (adjustable in Settings).
• Failed downloads are now properly resumed.
• The Settings screen has been re-organized for easier access to frequently used options.
• Various bug fixes.

Here's a screenshot of the new drawing screen, featuring recognition candidates on top, updated as you draw. You can long-press to get a context menu, just as with a regular list view. If you prefer the old display style with candidates on a separate screen, you can switch in Settings.
