Whereas you used to double-click a card to make the default move for that card, you now only need to single-click it in order to do so. This should make playing faster and easier. Let us know what you think about the change.

Now we’ve added automatic double click to all cards above those you might drag to. Give it a try on Sea Haven Towers or Spider. Also, from the small change department, undo animates now.

We now allow moving cards that are not at the top of a pile by first automatically (if possible) moving any blocking cards out of the way. By moving the blocking cards using their default (double-click) move we avoid giving too much help while still allowing more efficient play.

This means for example that in Free Cell and Sea Haven Towers you can now often drag the bottom card in one of the tableaus as the very first move! Give it a try and let us know what you think.

Currently in Klondike you can even move cards that are still turned over if the cards above can easily be moved. This seems a bit like cheating in this case since if you let go without moving, you can get sneak peak at the card without incurring the normal undo penalty. We may disallow this in the future.
