Known issues and improvements

This page lists some of the known issues with various versions of EclipseCrossword, and other improvements made between versions. We recommend that you always upgrade to the latest version.

Version 1.3.63 (latest)

• We added a new link to help people find the Share EclipseCrossword service.

Version 1.2.62

• This version is the same as 1.2.61, except that the license agreement appears when starting EclipseCrossword instead of during installation.

Version 1.2.61

• We fixed an issue with the fonts in the web page files that EclipseCrossword produces.

Version 1.2.60

• The “Interactive with Java applet” feature was removed, as it is no longer appropriate for modern websites.  (Java is a security risk and we recommend that you do not install it on your computer unless necessary.)
• We added a prettier tile for PCs running Windows 8.1 or later.

Version 1.2.59

• In an effort to begin to simplify things a bit, we removed the updater feature that was present in version 58 and prior versions.  You can still update EclipseCrossword to the latest version by visiting EclipseCrossword.com, and the link in EclipseCrossword’s About window will take you there.

Version 1.2.58

• We added a new feature to make it less likely that you’ll accidentally save over your original crossword puzzle and word list files with other types of more easily replaceable files, such as web pages, RTF files, and WMF files. If you try to save a rich text file with an extension of “.ecw”, EclipseCrossword will automatically change the filename to “.rtf”.

Version 1.2.57

Known bugs in this version

• Kaspersky trojan false positive—one antivirus software package incorrectly detects a trojan in the EclipseCrossword download
• Words with periods (.) can’t be entered in Interactive with JavaScript puzzles
• When you print a word bank and not all words in your word list were used, the word bank may print incorrectly
• When you create EPS files in certain regions (where the comma is used as a decimal) they won’t open properly
• Including ampersands in words and newline characters in clues can cause problems in certain types of exported puzzles
• Web pages produced with EclipseCrossword weren’t technically valid XHTML

Version 1.2.56

Known bugs in this version

• Accented characters show up as boxes or question marks in Interactive with JavaScript puzzles
