BattleScribe 1.14.06 Released!

It's been a long time coming, but this release finally brings a complete user interface redesign to Android! This really brings it up to date and makes it look at home on modern Android devices. Personally, I'm really happy with how it's turned out!

There have also been a few more bug fixes that get rid of the last few known issues, so this release is also available on desktop. I'm now working on bringing these fixes (plus some user interface tweaks) to iOS, so expect to see an update on iTunes soon. Full change list is below.

Here are some before and after screenshots:



Android
  • Complete user interface redesign! All the same functions are there as before - check the menu if you can't find something.
  • Added "report a bug" option to the menu.
  • Improved error reporting when opening or creating a roster. It now shows you details of any selections removed from your roster and any problems with the data files you're using.
  • Pro: You can now share your roster with another device via Android Beam (NFC)! Just bring the devices together (usually back-to-back) to send the file across. (Requires Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and devices that support NFC).
  • Pro: You can now customise a roster's notes/description - for keeping track of your epic victories.
  • Free: Occasional full-screen ads. These are only shown during long loading screens, they can be easily dismissed, and they are limited to a handful per hour. See this post for more details.
Desktop
  • Added "report a bug" button to the toolbar.
  • Improved error reporting when opening or creating a roster. It now shows you details of any selections removed from your roster and any problems with the data files you're using.
  • Fixed tooltip/popup text in the edit (right) panel in Roster Editor.
  • Repeating modifiers can now be based on roster points limit or total number of selections.
  • Fixed sorting of links in Catalogue Editor.
All Platforms
  • Fixed bug where root items with "hidden" modifiers would (nearly) always give errors.
  • Fixed bug where roster points wouldn't be updated if items were removed from your roster due to a data file change.
  • Fixed bug where points/errors wouldn't get updated in some cases.
  • More bug fixes...
