A new beta of BiteSMS 3.1 has been released in the cydia repository of BITESMS. Version 3.1 adds a whole list of new features and fixes some bugs users reported on biteSMS 3.0. Hit the break to see the full list.

• Added support for language translations in Quick Reply.
• Quick Reply is much improved, including scrolling for long messages. http://i44.tinypic.com/o109sl.jpg (sending…you can see both received text & reply)
• Added ability to long press the “Send” button in Quick Reply to switch between Carrier and biteSMS (only when button is active).
• We now disable the Quick Reply “Send” button during the sending process, see http://forums.bitesms.com/forums/1/topics/630?p…
• Added new settings icon on the conversation list screen, and removed the little blue arrow settings icon.
• Added new “About >” page on the settings screen, shows Version, License, Legal, Change Log, Features Help, Contacts (count), SMS Conversations (count) and Messages (count).
• Fixed smileys layout issue (only applies for certain langauges), see http://forums.bitesms.com/forums/1/topics/590:#…
• Fixed smileys issue, where if you forward a text with a smiley it thinks it’s an emoji (so distorts character counter).
• Fixed smileys issue, where if you enter the ASCII for a smiley like :-) then rotate the screen, it thinks it’s an emoji (so distorts character counter).
• Fixed the Settings->Privacy screen to automatically size the borders according to the help text (currently truncates the help text for some languages).

Still being worked on…..(but we thought we’d put out a Beta for the above in the meantime)

• Conversation list “Text Messages” title in some languages or if unread messages overlaps the new settings icon
• Add new feature to reset message counter on a given calendar day, see http://forums.bitesms.com/forums/2/topics/491
• Fix fine line in bubble display, see http://forums.bitesms.com/forums/1/topics/498?p…
• Fix bug where keyboard pop-up letters are hidden if you are in landscape mode when the Quick Reply is displayed.
• Add support for ABContacts (App Store product) to support a call to biteSMS for a group SMS.
• Fix up auto correct (truncates auto correct pop-up) for Chinese language keyboard.
• Fix up bubble width to be like the native SMS application, see http://forums.bitesms.com/forums/1/topics/682?p…
