Sudoku has been updated to Version 4.1. This has the following changes:

The application executable is no longer compressed, as compression seemed to result in a minority of virus scanners generating a false detection.
Change to the positional-click input method so that holding down the control key and clicking toggles the colour corresponding to the position numbers 1 to 6. Clicking positions 7, 8 or 9 clears the colour.
Fixed a bug that the incorrect number marker was not reset after an undo operation.
Fixed a bug that it was not possible to deselect a cell once the puzzle was solved.

Slice'n'Splice, Snake, Snapshot, Timesheet, WordPlay, Mandelbrot Explorer and One Foundation have all been re-released without the executable being compressed. Executable compression reduces the size of the program executable, but recently, has started to result in a minority of virus scanners generating a false detection. There are no functional changes to any of these programs, so you only need to download and install these if your virus scanner is causing you a problem.

SadMan Software Sudoku is now available in Russian. The language kit can be downloaded from sudokuru.exe. Note: to be detected by SadMan Software Sudoku, the language files must be installed in the same folder as the Sudoku program (usually C:\Program Files\SadMan Software\Sudoku\.)

Added two more colour options, bringing the total to six.

8 August 2011

Search has been updated to Version 3.9. The changes in this version are:

Added an option to display the results as they are found instead of only displaying them when the search is complete. This makes the search slightly slower overall, but you may see the result you're looking before it completes. The configuration option is at File -> Preferences -> Options tab -> Show results as they are found
Corrected a bug that caused the foreground colour of "Other Lines" to be copied to the background colour.
