Swifkey Flow has received another update for their free beta version, bringing a lot of bug fixes.
We are quite surprised that another beta version has been released, as we were expecting a fully working stable version to hit the Play Store this month.
As always we have the change-log for you:
* Fixed crash on changing keyboards
* Fixed force close on clicking update language
* Fixed other crashes
* Resolved majority of non-English punctuation problems
* New look installer to match SwiftKey Flow colors and include an introduction to SwiftKey Flow
* Added Turkish layout
* Chrome Beta should now behave like Chrome
* Snap and tap (correction of words) now compatible with Vietnamese
* Memory usage of settings app reduced
* Improved handling of non-zero length selection in Chrome and Samsung mail client
* Fixed jumping cursor in ExDialler and Samsung calculator
* Microphone key disabled in fields that don’t support voice input
* Fix for keyboard disappearing when phone build installed on tablet sized devices
* Disabled predictions in Kingsoft Office and UC browser to make SK usable in them
* Double space for period turned off by default to prevent accidental period insertion when flowing
* Replaced ‘learnt’ with ‘learned’ in personalization page (US English)
* Turned off slide down from candidate bar to close keyboard when flow is on (to be consistent with the description in the Settings menu)
The most important fix would obviously be the crashing keyboard, when you try to change input methods. This happened to me whenevr I wanted to switch to the 4.2 Keyboard on my Nexus 7 or Swype on my phone. I am not sure if they fixed the app’s memory usage, as they report to have fixed the settings app’s memory consumption. The keyboard did lag on my phone but not on the tablet.
Known Issues:
* Crashes when looking at the heatmap if you visit immediately after using the alternative symbols layout
* Comma key on Arabic keyboard inserts western comma
* Predictions sometimes blank when switching between languages
* Flowing words sometimes results in surprising capitalizations
* “No SD card” ribbon looks bad on low end devices
