I made a new #GNOME #Crosswords release. This release is light on end-user visible changes, but is good preparation for the next stage. It finalizes the basic visual design, and the underlying stateless architecture will make it a lot easier to extend.

To test the design, I did some initial panes. For creating the grid I added some statistics and histograms. For authoring clues I added anagrams, and odd and even words.

A quick #GNOME #Crosswords Editor development update. I added better selection for grids, and used it to add a feature I've wanted for a while: clue fragment highlighting.

After a month of changes to libipuz, I finally got the new editing interface working. These changes make it possible to differentiate between broken puzzles and correct-but-unhelpful puzzles, with an API to fix the latter. As a result, I extended the #GNOME #Crosswords Editor to edit barred puzzles.

Note: barred puzzles are basically impossible to set, and I'm in awe of anyone who is able to make a grid work. Maybe someone can make a cool puzzle with this.
