For some time I've been working on version 7 of Hot Potatoes, mostly at weekends because the work has to be done on a Windows XP vm which is on my home desktop. Today I was working remotely because of snow and other reasons, and I got a good amount of work done, releasing the fourth or fifth beta (can't remember which), numbered 7.0.0.7. This is (I think) feature-complete, and has all existing reported bugs fixed. Changes from version 6 include:

• Pure XHTML5 output, fully validated.
• Responsive interface using CSS flex to better support small form-factor devices.
• Touch support in drag-drop exercises.
• Reading texts now available to accompany drag-drop exercises (screens are bigger so this is more practical now).
• Cosmetic refresh for exercises, including rounded corners and drop-shadows on buttons, etc.
• New version of the base HotPot application background graphic, with version 6 replaced by version 7.
• Removal of obsolete code and simplification of existing code, due to better options in JS and CSS (there's more of this to do).
• Fully updated help file, readmes, example exercises, and installer.
• Updated interfaces for Italian and European Portuguese (that's all we have so far).

I think we're now in a position to re-work the Latin and Greek sites with their own customized versions of the new source files, but beta-testers are still getting started so there may be more bugs to fix.
