1] Bug Fixes: a] Export pdf crash when using patterns: Fixed and feature revamped. b] Compose screen was not allowing iPhone users to hide keyboard nor edit. Tapping on screen will now hide keyboard and user can edit any portion of the compose field. c] Fixed Share option where users can directly copy and use the share option to blackout bard from an external source (browser mails, books etc). If the external app / browser allows sharing, a draft can be created without pasting the text onto the compose screen. (Click on more on the Share option and enable the Blackout Bard to share). d] For image blackouts, now supports save to photo when no filter is applied. 2] Revamped pdf support to split the image into multiple A4 size pages instead of 1 monolithic page. 3] New App preview
