SwiftKey introduced Cloud Beta – a new feature that stores users' data in the cloud and syncs it across devices – a little more than two weeks ago, and so far the company has already pushed one update with a slew of bug fixes. Today marks Cloud Beta's second update in as many weeks, which brings several fixes and enhancements:
Full changelog and known issues for 4.2.0.115
Changes:
- Now possible to personalize from a second Gmail account before personalizing from an earlier one has finished
- Fix for crash when starting Gmail personalization
- Increased responsiveness of Flow predictions (this should reduce the likelihood of the flowed word prediction changing right at the last second)
- Handcent and Hangout Emoji entry fixed
- Language models no longer backed up via Android back up if you have SwiftKey Cloud backup and sync enabled (this should save on network and battery usage)
- Further fixes for crashes in the Cloud preferences
- Disabled predictions in Pleco where requested
- Removed SwiftKey account details from the Android Settings, as these were confusing when you had multiple installs side-by-side
Of course, it doesn't fix everything, so there are still a handful of issues that the SK team is currently working on:
Known issues:
- If you re-add a word that you previously removed from predictions, it will not always get re-added across all your synced devices
- The showerhead Emoji in GoSMS messes up input
- Spanish inverted ? not visible on plain QWERTY keyboard when Spanish is loaded
- Popup accented characters missing after changing layout or language settings
- Prediction bar too small in landscape mode
- SwiftKey reluctant to replace a mistyped bottom row character with a space (e.g. ‘Hibthere’ will not get corrected to ‘Hi there’)
As always, you can grab the newest version of the beta from SwiftKey's blog.
