Better support for games written with today's tools. Games built with PunyInform, Inform 7 and ZILF now get accurate maps and inventories in Cairn. - Games built with PunyInform, such as One Night in San Francisco, get a correct map. Rooms that share a name each get their own place on the map, unexplored exits are marked, and a game's help page no longer shows up as a room. - Inform 7 games, such as Bronze, show the names of what you carry and what's in each room. - Games built with ZILF, such as The Fountain, show their unexplored exits on the map. - Games that make their own character the player, such as 9:05, For A Change and Lost Pig, now show what you're carrying. Tagging is quicker too. Right-click a story on the Mac, or touch and hold it on iPhone and iPad, to add or remove any of your tags, or to make a new one, without opening the editor. Fixes - A game's own status text, such as the weather in A Change in the Weather, now appears even when the game places it past the edge of the window. - The map no longer adds a second copy of a room when a game starts you in bed or on a chair, or renames a room after a stray word that follows a blocked move. - The map follows you into a room a game names only in parentheses, and climbing into a boat or car no longer adds an "in" exit the room doesn't have.

Beyond Zork is here. Play it as it first appeared, with the room box, the on-screen map, stat bars and the combat monitor drawn in the game's own character graphics, or switch to Normal mode for a classic status line and transcript. Switch any time from the play bar on iPhone and iPad or the Game menu on every device, and your choice is kept in your saved game. - On iPhone and iPad, on-screen arrow keys drive character setup and the SETTINGS screen, and scroll the room box when a description runs long. - The screen scales to fit an iPhone held upright and leaves room for the story's replies when it is held sideways. - Cairn's map follows you through the forest, moor and plain, naming each place as the game does, and keeps each room's full description even when it is too long for the game's box. Group your library by date, from Today and Yesterday back through earlier years, with the headings following your sort. In grid view, any grouping can sit on sideways shelves or wrap into rows, on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Fixes - On the Mac, the arrow keys now move through menus that wait for a single keystroke, such as Anchorhead's help. - On the Mac, grouped covers in grid view wrap into rows unless you choose shelves. Covers grow with the window and fill the list, and as you drag the library's divider they glide into new rows instead of jumping. Maximizing the window no longer stretches the list past its widest. - Commands with a dollar sign now work. $VERIFY checks the story file in Zork and the rest of the Infocom catalog instead of answering "I don't know the word", and in Zork: The Undiscovered Underground you can pick up the ZM$100000 candy bar. - With unexplored exits shown, the map no longer marks a way out through a secret door you haven't found yet, such as the dead end in Curses' attic.

This release focuses on games beyond the Infocom catalog: modern interactive fiction written for the Z-machine, most of it with Inform. We played through games such as Curses, Anchorhead, Lost Pig, and the Inform versions of Colossal Cave, and fixed what they turned up. New - The map's unexplored-exit marks now work in Inform games such as Curses, Anchorhead, and Lost Pig, not only in Infocom's. Fixes - Stories now lay out for the width you can actually see. Menus, title screens, and stories that fill the whole screen fit on iPhone and in the Mac window instead of running off the edge, and they follow your text size. - Quotations that games such as Anchorhead and Curses show in a box, at the start and between chapters, now appear above the story instead of never showing. On iPhone they shrink to fit the screen. - The map no longer adds rooms for things that aren't places, such as a "Please answer yes or no" prompt, the title of a help-menu page, or a game's title and version lines. - In Inform games, the map now keeps track of where you really are: each dark room gets its own card instead of one shared "Darkness", and keeps its name to itself until you see it lit. Riding in a vehicle or standing on something no longer creates a new room, and rooms that share a name, such as the twisty little passages of a maze, stay separate. - The inventory bar no longer leaves out a container you are carrying, such as the wicker cage in Colossal Cave. - Restoring a saved game brings back the game's whole status bar. In games such as Curses, the score, turn count, and room name no longer go missing until you move. - The status bar now shows a game's own status text, such as the day in Anchorhead, alongside the room, including on iPhone where the game would otherwise write it over the room name. - Answering "no" when a game asks whether you really want to quit no longer leaves a piece of its status bar in the story text, in games such as Curses and Anchorhead. - Import from IFDB now recognizes modern games by the ID built into their story file, so games such as Advent go straight to their IFDB entry instead of a title search. - Games that read a typed line without asking for it to be parsed no longer stop with an unsupported-opcode error when they start. - Typing VERIFY in games such as Anchorhead and Lost Pig no longer reports the story file as corrupt. - Game menus keep their layout: in Anchorhead's help menu, the line telling you how to leave is on its own row instead of running on from the last item. On the Mac, the map stays in view while a game's menu is open. - On iPhone and iPad, the on-screen keyboard's Delete key now reaches a game's menu, so menus that say "press BACKSPACE", such as Anchorhead's help, can be left without a hardware keyboard.

The map can now show the exits you haven't taken yet, and on the Mac every document you attach gets its own tab. - The map can show the exits from each room that you haven't taken yet: a small ring on the edge of the room for each one, and a letter for a way up or down. Turn this on or off from the map's toolbar. It's off by default. - On the Mac, each attached manual, map, and feelie now has its own tab in the side panel instead of being grouped by kind, so a document fills the whole panel. - Saved games from games that run on a clock (Deadline, The Witness, Suspect, Moonmist, Cutthroats, and Wishbringer) now show the time of day they were saved, instead of treating the clock as a score and move count. - Large maps restore faster, and stay fast no matter how many times you restore in one session. - Restoring a saved game no longer moves rooms out of the arrangement you left them in. This also works with Auto Straighten turned off, which restores used to ignore. - Dragging a material to a new position in the library no longer makes it shake. - Maps restored from a saved game no longer show exits that don't exist. - When you can travel between two rooms in more than one direction (for example, both north and northeast), the map now draws the connecting line on directions that are opposites of each other. The line stays put instead of jumping to whichever direction you used last.

Bug fixes on iPad regarding orientation changes/ Set your iPad down, pick it up, or turn it around, and the map, your notebook, or the manual you were reading stays open. Cairn was treating the iPad's own movement as a request to go back to the story.

- Every connection is yours to draw: route it orthogonal, straight, or curved, stroke it solid, dotted, or dashed, write its label, choose which side of a room it meets, point it at either room or both, or hide it altogether. - More responsive maps: Exploring larger maps is smoother on all devices - Truer maps. Cairn now follows the story's own bearings rather than a drawing convention, draws a line dotted where the story states no bearing at all, keeps north up when a room has to overlap another, and lays out the same rooms the same way every time. - Tidier maps. A connection's labels stay on the line however it is routed, and notices drawn over the map take their colours from the theme you chose. - Changed your mind about a dismissed notice? Reset Notifications, on the Advanced settings screen, brings back the one-time notes you asked Cairn to stop showing.

Characters who move around the story — Floyd in Planetfall, the suspects in Deadline and Witness — no longer leave a trail of themselves across the map. Each one now appears in the room you last saw them in, rather than in every room you have walked them through. Also fixes a bug where the inventory bar could show items belonging to a character in the story rather than to you. In Ballyhoo it listed a monkey, a trenchcoat and a trade card from the opening prompt — none of which you could examine, because they belonged to the detective — and nothing you picked up ever appeared. Suspect and A Mind Forever Voyaging were affected in the same way. Your inventory now updates the moment you take or drop something, in every story.

- Every game has a notebook in a tab beside the story. Stamp in where you are, what you are carrying, your score, or the last turn; it saves with the game and syncs across your devices. - Stories carry tags instead of a single genre — already filled in from detail your files were always carrying — so you can filter, group, and search by them. - Add as many story files at once as you like. Cairn imports them together, names each story from what is inside the file, and offers covers and descriptions from the Interactive Fiction Database afterwards, on one page.

This release corrects four mapping faults, most of them found in modern interactive fiction outside the Infocom catalog. - Rooms whose names run long — "At the Foot of the Lighthouse" — are drawn on the map again, along with the passage that led you into them. Rooms named this way were being left off entirely, and the map joined the rooms on either side as though they touched. - The map no longer invents places that are not places. Walking into a dark room, or taking inventory, could leave a card behind that no room ever matched. - A room's card lists what is in the room, not the landscape around it. The sea, the sky and the weather stay off the cards of every room you pass through. - A room's card lists the things you put there most recently first, so dropping an armful in a room shows what you dropped instead of whatever happened to sort first. - The theme you choose stays on the device where you chose it. Themes you create still travel to your other devices; which one is showing is yours to set on each. - Answering "no" to a story's quit confirmation no longer leaves a stray line of status text in the transcript, or adds a room you never visited to the map. - The name of the selected theme in Settings stays readable in every palette. - On a very wide window, a story's name and its actions menu no longer drift away from the cover art above them, and the story's details sit centered with even margins on both sides.
