HoDoKu-2.2.11

Features:

• Toggle color visibility. Now you can hide colors without clearing it to see filtering/highlighting!

• Show Filters on Givens. When this option is enabled, givens/set cell values will also be highlighted. This feature is off by default but can be turned on in preferences->General->Show filter on givens.

• Auto highlight. When a given/set cell is selected, like candidates/cells will be highlighted. This feature can be enabled in preferences->General->Auto highlight.

Bug Fix:

• Selecting a primary color in Default Mouse Mode no longer generates a colored mouse.
• Filter/Highlight bivalue cells did not work when Show filter on candidate was enabled.
• Fixed an infinite loop bug related to inputting digits on a multi solution puzzle.

Hodoku-2.2.10

Minor:

• Color palette 'R' button now clears all colors regardless of radio button selection.
• Added tooltips for the color chooser component.
• Added German translation for those new components.
• Added 2 colors to the color palette (Cyan and Yellow) which is often used for AICs.
• Selection head is now part of the cell selection.

Bug Fix:

• Primary color now updates correctly when setting its color to a custom value.
• Clear variable state when resetting/loading new puzzles.

Hodoku-2.2.9

Features:

• Color Palette

  • Instead of having 2 color palettes, one for cells, one for candidates, we now only have 1. Radio buttons have been added to determine if we are using the default mouse mode, coloring cells or coloring candidates.

  • We now have a primary and secondary color. Their order can be switched by using the arrow button between both colors.

  • Clicking on a color from the color palette will set the primary color to this value.

  • Clicking on the primary or secondary color will spawn a color selection window for further customization of colors than what is provided by Hodoku's default color palette.

  • The 'R' button at the bottom left of the primary and secondary color resets the colors on the board. If Color Cells is selected, only cell colors will be cleared. If Color Candidates is selected, only candidate colors will be cleared. If Default Mouse is selected, all colors will be cleared.

  • Colors are no longer switched with Shift is held down. Pressing once on 'X' will switch the color. You no longer have to hold it down.

Minor:

• Input digit on a cell with a user input value now overwrites it.

• Cells now color even if you drag and release on the same cell.

• Save Image default size changed from 400px to 800px

Bug Fixes:

• The Modify Givens button is not active when the program loads, and Play Game is not clickable.

• Right click a user input cell shows the right click menu with the option to delete value.

Hodoku-2.2.8

Features:

• Puzzle -> Solution Count

  • It counts how many solutions a puzzle has with a cutoff limit of 1000.

• Clear an entire color channel in either Cells or Candidates. This is done in the Active Cell panel by Ctrl + Left Click on a color in the color palette. Only this color will be cleared from the board.

• Mouse click while coloring no longer selects a cell. I found it distracting, sometimes the selector color overlay made the cell's colors look off. It can still be moved with the arrow keys. Maybe I should re-enable it, but add a toggle feature to automatically hide the selector when entering coloring mode.

Minor:

• File -> New Empty

  • It generates an empty board. This replaces File -> New Givens. This new layout is more conventional with other programs.

• Edit -> Edit Givens

  • Renamed and relocated File -> Modify Givens. It did not make sense being under the File menu. Now it is more clear what it does.

• Edit -> Play Game

  • Relocated from File -> Play Game. This belongs with Edit Givens since you use it to leave editor mode.

Bug Fixes:

• Active Cell color would disappear when clicking outside the grid to hide the cursor selector.

• Active Color preview defaulted to cell color preview.

• Faulty transition from drag to click while Ctrl down leading to a cell being deselected.

Hodoku-2.2.7

Features:

• The active cell selector has been made larger then the rest of the cell selection to distinguish it.

• Cell selection is more responsive. Immediate selection on down event.

• German translation support has been added.

Bug Fixes:

• Active cell selector position now updates correctly on mouse drag.

• "Solve up to" had a bug where it would go in an endless loop on a puzzle where the engine gives-up.

• Cell selection bug when removing existing selection from previous selection.

• Solve Puzzle now throws an appropriate message when the puzzle has multiple solutions.

• Right click no longer clears the selection.

• An empty config file is deleted and re-generated.

• Internal code redesigning and refactoring.

Hodoku-2.2.6

Features:

• The cell selector now wraps around the board instead of getting stuck at the edge.

Bug Fixes:

• The Active Cell panel color selection has been made more responsive.

• Disabled candidate highlight on LCtrl down because it was currently doing too many things. Until I find a better way to edit candidates and append cells selection, this feature will only be toggle-able via the Options -> Show Candidate Highlight.

• Right click no longer clears the selection unless right clicking outside of selection.

Hodoku-2.2.5

Single Click Mode has replaced Alternative Mouse Mode from: edit -> preferences -> General -> Appearance/Behaviour -> Single click mode

Single Click Mode is off by default.

Single Click Mode cannot toggle a missing candidate in a single click because this would break the multi-selection behaviour. For this reason, toggling empty candidates must remain a double click.

Candidate Highlight Mode is toggled when LCtrl is held down. This makes it more clear that candidates are interactable when LCtrl is held down, and more obvious what you are editing.
