First contribution triggers special registration prompt message
The contribution screen is automatically closed when the contribution has been successfully submitted
Icon colors have been changed to blue/yellow
Initial square allocations are given an 'initial square' reason in the details screen rather than left blank

The following fixes have been applied:

The possibility bar used column-row display order for region co-ordinates
The update information button had no effect on the Upgrade screen
The puzzle timer is reset when the initial grid square allocation is saved
If the header row/column is switched off then the program may crash in print preview mode
The print-out may not use a white background for the grid description and annotation listing
The hint display did not use the currently allocated background color for square display
The print option for possibilities in unallocated squares was displayed the wrong way around
If a blank game is initially saved and the allocation list is enabled then undo may cause program to crash
When open rather than generate a new puzzle the input focus flashing cursor was not indicated in the grid
