Menus and Action Bar in next release


We have found a problem with the menus that seems to affect new Samsung phones and tablets.
The problem appears when an app uses the old-style menus, rather than the Action Bar, which more modern Android apps are encouraged to use. Since this appears to be a Samsung problem, we can't actually fix the issue, we have to work around it by upgrading Patience Revisited to use the new Action Bar instead of the old-style menus, which works fine on all phones/tablets. Unfortunately the new Action Bar system will not work on Android 1.5 and 1.6, so those people still using those old versions of Android will not be able to receive Patience Revisited updates from now on. They will however be able to continue to run their present version of Patience Revisited, or download v1.4.1 or earlier from our website if desired.
Since the Action Bar allows the top menu items to appear as icons on the action bar itself, we have added a menu editing system, which allows the user to customise the menus themselves. The menu editing system will allow changing the order of the menu items and also hiding menu items that you aren't interested in seeing.
We have just finished the development for these features and are currently testing them, so hopefully the new release is not too far away.
