Much weeding, pruning, and winnowing in the fields of code to decrease size and increase speed.
Improvements in page layouts.
Fixed a bug related to reverse direction text entry (Thanks ZL !)
Reverse text and glyph entry can be unstable. Work-around is to enter data in standard Left-to-Right direction.
Reversing completely entered text/glyphs works as expected. Improvements forthcoming!

A Great new feature this time, by request! Now you can edit the text input box with a controllable cursor! Yes! Long press the yellow text box after you have entered some Gardiner Codes or some MdC shortcuts. The cursor will appear and you can drag it in the line of text to where you want to add or delete characters.
A few new words and phrases were added to the dictionary which was already the largest, most complete dictionary available for a mobile device.
Found and fixed a rare bug in the new Keyword search feature. Now it works even more smoothly.

Major Upgrades Time!
We have added the option to purchase a greatly expanded dictionary which has over 48,000 words and phrases! In addition to the standard Middle Egyptian of the default dictionary, the new dictionary contains many New Kingdom, Late Period, and Ptolemaic words and phrases. The new dictionary is supported by over 1200 additional hieroglyphic signs.
With the new dictionary comes a powerful new search feature: The ability to search the dictionary for sequences of glyphs which occur in the middle of words or phrases. This is extremely useful for beginners since it may be difficult in to find the start of words in ancient inscriptions.
We added the names of 200 ancient Egyptian Queens to the Kings database which you can enable or turn off in Settings.
Optimized many areas of the code to improve response time.
Finally, we have re-branded the App: Meet Hieroglyph Pro!
