## What is Razor Puzzle?

Razor Puzzle is an image-assembly app similar to a jigsaw app.   Jigsaw cuts are available but so are many other curvatures: straight or slanted sides, and simpler single, double or triple curves.  A "random" option allows you to mix these kinds of cuts in a  single puzzle and to customize the mix of choices.  Puzzles can range in size from 8 to 320 pieces on iPads, 8 to 192 pieces on iPhones.  

The app also features an integration with some popular photo sharing sites, on which you can search a rich collection of puzzle images, with appropriate attribution to the photographers.

Exporting (was called "sharing") is better integrated, no more "sharing mode".
Image cropping is separated from the importing process.
Importing is more direct (no more "inbox").
Most settings are now stored with the puzzle, simplifying their semantics.
Scrolling of a large puzzle within the solving area is simplified (no more "two finger" scrolling).
Piece border options are simplified and borders look better.
More graceful jigsaw curves.
Default settings are friendlier to jigsaw fans, rather than emphasizing other cuts.
Tray naming is simplified.
Zooming is now continuous using pinch gestures and the current zoom is always displayed.
Many bugs have been identified and fixed.   
The help is substantially revised with some detailed instructions on how to import images from popular image sharing services. 
For fresh installs (only) there are more supplied images and now also supplied puzzles cut from those images using the different curve types.
