MineSweeper3D Version History
MineSweeper3D 2.8.1, 5th September 2015
- Fixed issue saving best times for some users.
- Added four new boards!
- Fixed: settings not being restored between sessions.
- Fixed: list of your world records that have been beaten appeared when necessary but was empty.
- Added one more sound effect when winning.
- Added three new boards! Bilunabirotunda (Johnson solid J91), Dodecadodecahedron, and Hollow cube.
- Choice of sound themes. Use "Options→Sound Themes". No need to listen to my home-made effects any more! But don't worry, they're still available as an option.
- Fixed some minor issues.
- Added four new boards! The heptagonal antiprism, the hendecagonal prism, a torus, and a zeolite structure.
- Added nicer frames around the stats area and countdown meters.
- Improved the lighting a little.
- Now when you hit a mine, the remaining unflagged mine will be revealed on grey tiles, so you can tell which mines you'd flagged and which ones you didn't.
- Added option to stop auto-play/stats-mode after a given number of moves.
- Oops! 2.5 included 3 new boards, although I hadn't actually meant to
include them yet! They are now included officially, and listed in the new
boards menu. Find them quickly with "Board->NEW". New world records up for
grabs!
- Improved the shading and colour of the three countdown bars.
- Added the "Help->Online Forums" menu item for visiting the online MineSweeper3D forums.
- Changed the way mouse movements are handled. Shouldn't make any noticable difference, but let me know if there are problems.
- Fixed a bug where sometimes clicking on tiles near the edge of a board (or on an oblique angle) wouldn't work, so you couldn't open or flag those tiles without first rotating the board.
- I have changed email and website, so links in the program have been updated
accordingly. Please update your links too if you have any.

NEW: http://www.software3d.com/Mines3D
- Added three new boards! Find them quickly in the "Board->NEW" menu.
- "Board" menu now has new "Near Misses" submenu.
- Added three new boards!
- Reorganised the "Board" menu into categories.
- "Board" menu also has the submenu "NEW" which contains the new boards
for this release (you will also find those boards listed in the appropriate
categories).
- On some systems, MineSweeper3D failed to notice when an internet connection was available, but still spent 5 seconds looking for it.
- Searching for updates and world records is now done in the background, so even with a slow internet connection the program will start straight away. Messages about new versions or new world records will not appear until between games (they won't interrupt you during play!).
- Automatically check for new versions of the software if an internet connection is present. Option to check daily, weekly, or monthly, or never to check at all.
- Software now refers to the new web site.
- Added auto-solver and insane mode.
