Black Ink 2.4.1: Puzzle Chooser Fix & More

March 19th, 2025

Black Ink 2.4.1 is now available on the Black Ink site and on the Mac App Store.

This update includes a mash-mash of fixes, but the one that I personally appreciate most is a fix for the Web Puzzle Chooser, to improve the chances it will highlight the latest available puzzle when one has become available while the app was running. If you’ve ever opened the puzzle chooser, well aware there should be a new puzzle available, only to be teleported back in time to the latest (maybe years old) puzzle that the app thinks you haven’t solved yet, then this fix is for you.

Complete list of changes for this release:

  • Fix a bug that could prevent the newest available puzzle from being selected in the calendar
  • Quicklook previews of puzzles with checkmark, etc., symbols are now shown in color
  • Restored the functionality of the built-in crash reporting mechanism
  • When duplicating puzzles from the app’s sandbox, the app now encourages saving outside the sandbox
  • Fix a problem that could cause previously solved puzzles to open as new after changing system date format
