SwiftKey Flow beta updated with fresh round of bug fixes

Android Central

The SwiftKey Flow beta test continues with another release for phones and tablets today. Version 4.0.0.99 includes a new round of bug fixes, including behavior fixes for the Google Chrome Beta, various crash fixes and a new Turkish layout. Here's the full changelog for your perusal --

Fixed crash on changing keyboards
Fixed force close on clicking update language
Fixed other crashes
Resolved majority of non-English punctuation problems
New look installer to match SwiftKey Flow colors and include an introduction to SwiftKey Flow
Added Turkish layout
Chrome Beta should now behave like Chrome
Snap and tap (correction of words) now compatible with Vietnamese
Memory usage of settings app reduced
Improved handling of non-zero length selection in Chrome and Samsung mail client
Fixed jumping cursor in ExDialler and Samsung calculator
Microphone key disabled in fields that don’t support voice input
Fix for keyboard disappearing when phone build installed on tablet sized devices
Disabled predictions in Kingsoft Office and UC browser to make SK usable in them
Double space for period turned off by default to prevent accidental period insertion when flowing
Replaced ‘learnt’ with ‘learned’ in personalization page (US English)
Turned off slide down from candidate bar to close keyboard when flow is on (to be consistent with the description in the Settings menu)

There's still a handful of known issues in the current beta build, so you might want to take a look over them at the source link before installing for the first time. That's also where you'll find download links for both phone and tablet versions of the keyboard.

SwiftKey Flow remains the keyboard of choice for many of us here at AC, despite its beta status. Hopefully we'll see it graduate to Google Play soon.
