(introduced hi-color and hi-resolution card graphics)
Version Features/Changes
3.1.0

Converted the card graphics from 16-color to high resolution full color for a dramatic improvement in the look-and-feel of the game.

Version 3.0
(the first version for 32-bit Windows)
Version Features/Changes
3.0.1 Fixes a minor cosmetic bug in Windows 9x versions that did not display version information in the about dialog. Added the standard Ctrl+N menu accelerator key to start a new game. Memory optimizations that make for a smaller footprint.
3.0.0

This is the first true 32-bit version of Quick Cribbage for Windows. Previous versions (2.x) were developed on 16-bit platforms like Windows 3.0 and 3.1 but would run as-is on 32-bit platforms like Win95, XP, etc. This release includes all the features of the previous versions in a 32-bit environment. The program starts-up faster, runs faster and is generally more responsive and attractive since it now uses the new Windows XP look-and-feel.

Version 2.0
(the final version for 16-bit Windows 3.x)

Windows 3.0/3.1 Windows 95/98/Me

Version Features/Changes
2.0.3

This release fixes a couple of cosmetic painting bugs that would incorrectly display duplicate cards in your hand when the window was repainted. Internally the cards were still stored correctly so this bug did not affect your score or play.

2.0.2

Fixed a bug that would make the application window invisible on restart if you closed the program while it was minimized. If you encountered this condition in any previous version you will need to delete the QCKCRB(.INI) file under your Windows directory and restart the program.

2.0.1

Fixed a cosmetic bug that would sometimes show the wrong score in the title of the Crib Board window at start-up.

Fixed a cosmetic bug that misaligned the arrows when counting points in the Crib.

Fixed screen background flickering when window is re-sized.

Miscellaneous cosmetic adjustments and memory optimizations.

Automatically saves and restores the size and position of the main window.

Adds a controlled delay to pace the animation on faster machines.
