v0.1.24.1

This is a minor release that includes some fixes for reported bugs and issues. It also adds smarter key-hit detection.

Smart key-hit detection

When you're typing in a language with a dictionary installed, in a text field with autocorrect enabled, the keyboard will now adjust key hitboxes automatically to boost certain letters.

Boosted letters are determined by taking the partial word you're typing (e.g. "thinkin") and finding the next letters that will lead to a valid word ("g"). Now if you hit on the edge of a neighboring key that's not boosted ("h"), it will register that you hit the boosted letter ("g"). Boosting also applies to the spacebar if the word is finished. There are some exceptions to this - if you backspaced or you tapped pretty close to the center of a non-boosted letter then it will type what you actually tapped.

This feature should help reduce typing mistakes even before autocorrect. If it does cause issues, it can be toggled off in Settings > Predictive Text > Smart key-hit detection. Please send us feedback if it does cause issues.
