Kitty 3.5.1 BugFixOMatic Edition

Kitty Sadness

French Kitty-hugger and all-round good guy David-Artur found a nasty bug in Kitty Spangles Solitaire's spider games: undoing a certain move will cause Kitty to cry.

The responsible Oompa Loompa has been suitably persecuted and all is well.


The Cure For Kitty's Blues

If you already using 3.5.0, the easy way to update is to launch Kitty and she'll do all the work.

(If she doesn't, just choose "Check for Updates..." from the Solitaire menu.)

If you don't already have Kitty Spangles Solitaire 3.5, you can grab the latest version directly from here.
