• Added a new setting, “:) Keep Open”, to control if the biteSMS smileys sub-menu is kept open after choosing a smiley (currently it always automatically closes).
• If in Quick Reply or Quick Compose the sending process failed, and you retried, then the original failed message still appeared with a red ! in the application. Now fixed.

• In the biteSMS application, we now limit the “vertical growth” of the text input field (to 7 lines), so that you can still click the bubble area to hide the keyboard.

• Reorganized the settings screen such that the Quick Reply features now have their own page.
• Ensured that biteSMS can now co-exist with Cylay and Cyntact applications (first disable these using SBSettings, then start-up biteSMS, then enable them again).

Note: For Firmware 2 users, although you’ll see a biteSMS update in Cydia as Release 4.2, functionally it’s exactly the same as biteSMS Release 3.2. In other words all the new biteSMS features shown above are only available for Firmware 3 users.
