Anders Kierulf<p>SmartGo One 2.3.5 is mostly a bug fix update, but also adds a setting for showing the SGF circle property as a circle instead of a dot, a frequently requested change. It now defaults to circle on stones, dot on empty points (Settings &gt; Board Display &gt; Circle as Dot). You can also mark the most recent move with a circle, as you may be used to from some other apps (Settings &gt; Board Display &gt; Move Numbering, or just tap on the board with two fingers for quick view adjustments).</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SmartGo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SmartGo</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Baduk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Baduk</span></a></p>
