This update fixes a minor cosmetic bug that would incorrectly redraw the bottom corner of East's hand between each new deal depending on your window size. |
| 3.1.2 |

| 3.0 |
This is the first true 32-bit version of Quick Bridge for Windows. Previous versions (2.x) were developed on 16-bit platforms like Windows 3.0 and 3.1 but would run as-is on 32-bit platforms like Win95, XP, etc. This release includes all the features of the previous versions in a 32-bit environment. The program starts-up faster, runs faster and is generally more responsive and attractive since it now uses the new Windows XP look-and-feel. |
| Version | Features/Changes | 2.0.2 |
This release fixes a bug preventing you from selecting the right-most card for play in your hand or the dummy's hand. |
|---|---|
| 2.0.1 |
Fixes a bug that would make the application window invisible on restart if you closed the program while it was minimized. If you encountered this condition in previous versions you will need to delete the QCKBRG(.INI) file under your Windows directory and restart the program. Miscellaneous cosmetic changes and updates to the About dialog. |
| 2.0 |

Turn the card sound effects (shuffling, dealing) On or Off. Familiar, vibrant card images in 16 colors. |
