Timesheet has been updated to Version 4.0. The changes in this version are:

Search has been updated to Version 5.0. The changes in this version are:

• Search will no longer stop working when the trial version expires. Instead, it downgrades to a restricted functionality mode where the number of files, the total number of lines, and the number of matches are all limited.
• Added the ability to check for updates online. A new menu option is displayed when a new version is available.
• Added the ability to collapse/expand all the displayed matches.
• It now reports errors that occur while generating the list of files to search - for example, if the path length exceeds the maximum allowed by Windows.

Sudoku has been updated to Version 4.1. This has the following changes:

• The application executable is no longer compressed, as compression seemed to result in a minority of virus scanners generating a false detection.
• Change to the positional-click input method so that holding down the control key and clicking toggles the colour corresponding to the position numbers 1 to 6. Clicking positions 7, 8 or 9 clears the colour.
• Fixed a bug that the incorrect number marker was not reset after an undo operation.
• Fixed a bug that it was not possible to deselect a cell once the puzzle was solved.

Slice'n'Splice, Snake, Snapshot, Timesheet, WordPlay, Mandelbrot Explorer and One Foundation have all been re-released without the executable being compressed. Executable compression reduces the size of the program executable, but recently, has started to result in a minority of virus scanners generating a false detection. There are no functional changes to any of these programs, so you only need to download and install these if your virus scanner is causing you a problem.
