## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-29

See your discards land — a tile you discard now shows on the table for a moment before an opponent can pung, kong or chow it, so you always see what was taken.

Sounds for every move — a discard that is claimed straight away now plays its tile sound, and added kongs play the claim sound.

Plus stability improvements and support for the latest iOS.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-31

Game help is no longer blank — the help screen behind the "?" button on the setup screen opened with its title and tabs and nothing underneath. All four sections now read properly: How to play, Opponent strength, Scoring rules, and About & copyright.

A sharper Grandmaster — the strongest opponent in the Expert group now ranks its moves by how likely each one is to end the hand with a positive score.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-30

Beginner's guide — a twelve-chapter tutorial is now built into the app. Open it from the setup screen and work through the tiles, the goal of the game, dealing, turn order, claiming, flowers, winning, scoring, patterns, special hands and house rules, with practice drills that check your answers against the same engine that runs the game.

New opponent — Grandmaster joins the expert group as the strongest computer player in the game.

Plus rendering and performance polish on the title screen.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-08-24

No release notes.
