Significant number of minor improvements to a range of bidding scenarios.
Rubber Bridge: Minor UI updates to enhance the game flow, e.g. ability to jump straight to dealing a next hand if bidding the previous hand is not particularly exciting.
Rubber Bridge: Hand dealing now tracks the hands dealt and will forcibly jump hands if 3 or more hands result in low points for South. Whilst somewhat artificial this addresses one of the common 'requests' around South 'never' having biddable hands.
Added support for some legacy iOS 10 devices that cannot support the more modern iOS technologies. This should fix the issues a number of you have experienced with the previous update.
