Here's the post from their website.

Hello everyone, V4 is now available for public test!Smile

The public test package is however stable enough for your personal usage, but we want to be more responsible for our users, so please tell me [ feedback@cootek.com ] any bugs or inconveniences , so we can update the software to be a perfect release!

And I do know the Land-Scape mode improvement is more concerned by our users, I hope you may like this release, a better change or may not be so perfect.

ok, finally the link goes here http://www.cootek.com/v4/TouchPal_v4_ENG.CAB

Thanks for all your support!Clap

1) New Square Skin
2) Better Landscape
3) Can no longer swipe down on main keyboard to get to symbols; been replaced by numbers (this sucks): EDIT: They just moved it to the bottom row. There is no more swipe up and down for numbers (good). Everything is swipe down.

I'm sure there are other changes but these are the 3 that I noticed of the bat. It might have vibration feedback built-in but I use touchback so I've always had it...

Oh man, I agree 100%. I hope the final release goes back the way it was in 3.5.

IMHO, the only thing that really needed changing was to improve the landsape support, other than that I think this KB is just about perfect just the way it is.
