There are so many new features indeed, and it's hard to numerate here. Please refer to www.cootek.com/intro.aspx for an overview.

We spent days and nights working hard on this release in the past 4 months. There are many cool ideas becoming true finally. Of course, many of them are owing to the feedback of our V2 users.

To appreciate all your support, all the V2 registered users could get a free upgrade for V3!

Of course, we haven't adopted all the suggestions in V2. Some are due to the time limit, and some are by design. We will continue to try to address them in the future release.

A few things you must know before upgrade to V3:

- backup your V2 registration code and your custom word dictionary. (see 3.4 of the user manual)

- 2 becomes 1: only one build for Professional and Standard. The first 15 days will work in Professional mode, and then switch to Standard mode.

- English Qwerty becomes the default layout. But you can still download other language packs.

Known issues:

- Some reported a regression on SMS To-line name suggestion. The workaround is to hit a Backspace.

- For those super long words in some european languages, the candidate lists can be messed up.

- Euro sympol cannot be included in a custom word.

- Cannot input a single lowercase letter "c" in prediction mode.

- Landscape mode doesn't support resizing.

Special thanks to our beta testers who helped us improve the software. Without them, you'll probably encounter a lot more bugs than it is now. They are (without priority):
