Latest version Black Ink Crosswords: 2.2.5

This update is a quick fix for a crashing bug when trying to log in to several of the subscription puzzle services supported by the app.

Version 2.2.4 included the following changes:

- Fixed an issue that could cause Special Answer entry to be unreadable in Dark Mode
- Fixed an issue that prevented changing the Color Scheme default back to Automatic
- Fixed a bug that caused the wrong purchases to be shown in the unlock screen
- Lightened the selected square highlight in light mode to differentiate better from black squares

Version 2.2.3 was a quick fix to restore the expected behavior of the backspace key when deleting characters in a puzzle.

Version 2.2.2 included the following improvements:

- Added support for Dark Mode and Tinted versions of the application icon
- Non-applicable comments in some visual NYT clues are no longer displayed
- Printing improvements to avoid splitting a clues text across pages or wrapping prematurely
- Improve the clue text area to better fit clue text in the available space
- VoiceOver: Puzzle square status such as being circled or shaded, marked incorrect, etc., are now announced

Version 2.2.1 was a quick fix to address a printing problem where larger puzzles would sometimes print with clues missing off the bottom of the page.

Version 2.2 added brand new PRINTING functionality for puzzles. Use the built-in printing feature to produce gorgeous, paper-based puzzles when youre in the mood to solve "the old-fashioned way", or when you need a stack of puzzles to solve while youre away from your phone or computer.

Puzzle printing is available to all customers who have unlocked premium features by purchasing a subscription or one-time unlock. Users who have not unlocked premium features can still try the feature out! Try printing any puzzle and a demo puzzle will be printed instead.

This update also includes support for rendering animated graphical overlays on puzzles that specify them.
