September 1, 2001 - Version 2.0 has been released!

This version has many, many changes for Vexed fans. Here are just some highlights:

External "level pack" databases are now supported, provided by Scott Ludwig. The original version 1.3 and 1.4a versions are now built-in. Seven new external level packs are now available, over 400 new levels! Not only are there many new levels, but there are now tools to generate and solve levels, allowing us to tailor level pack difficulty. Thanks a lot, Scott!
Fantastic new color graphics provided by Matthew McClintock and David Croy. There are six different sets of color blocks, and three sets for monochrome devices. Thanks Matt and David!
Solutions and scoring! You can now view the solution for any level, but it'll cost you! There's now a golf-like "par" method of scoring in Vexed. The more moves you make over par, the higher your score. You'll be surprised when you go back and do the original levels that par is not always that easy to do!
Many new features, including 15-move undo, replay current level, replay previous level, move a block more than one space at a time (if legal), smoother animation, faster screen writes, saving current status of level in preferences, and more.
Many fixes, including transparency problems with bitmaps, tapping on pull-down menus, and more.
