Developer Preview Release

Hey everyone!

We've just released an update to the developer preview with the following features.

General
* The profanity filter has been disabled for group chats
* Empty recipes can no longer be shared
* Puzzle categories are now listed in the puzzle select screen
* The game will now make a backup of solutions before saving, reducing the possibility of corrupt save files
* Notes can now be shown/hidden in the Selection Interface
* You can now take screenshots while a tool is running
* The cut tool is now available on some non-alignment puzzles
* The game will remember which interface (Selection or Default) you use

Cookbook
* A sound is now played indicating when a script ends
* The cookbook now hides itself while a recipe runs

Alignment Panel
* The alignment panel now has a 'score' in the title bar. This score gives you an estimate of how good your structure is. Think of it as how well your fold will do if you resolve the cutpoints and shake the structure out.
* The alignment behavior has been changed slightly. Now you can single click the align button to simply align once, and you can double click to lock to the alignment, like before. Clicking again while locked will unlock it.
* The old 'score' has been renamed 'match', as it gave the false impression that players should attempt to optimize this number (the new 'score' should be much better for this purpose).
* The alignment intro levels have been updated to reflect these changes

Bug Fixes
* The band menu should now always display on-screen
* Using the tab residue info window will no longer cause wiggle to 'lock up'

Frequent crashes with new devprev client

The autosave feature is not working, and the client is crashing just by stopping a recipe and starting a new one. There are no autosaves on a puzzle started with the new client version.

Crahes on starting recipes

Mine has crashed (Foldit closed) immediately on starting recipes.

krulon, are you on Windows?

Could you open a new feedback if this is different than the autosave crash (http://fold.it/portal/node/993047), and include the end of your log.txt file right after it crashes.

Thanks!

Fix for quick/auto save windows crashes coming

I've found the issue and fixed the bug (plus a UI bug fix). I am in the process of releasing an updated devprev release.

Sorry about all that everyone.
