PaperScrape v5.13 — Stable

v5.13

This release is about the buildings among the houses. A shop, a fire station and a police
station join the restaurant, the bar and the school; all six take turns along the street as the
scenery scrolls, and the buildings come in three groups, each with its own colours, its own opening
hours and its own page in the settings.

• Three new buildings. A shop with a striped awning, a shopping bag on its sign and crates of
  fruit; a fire station with red garage doors, one open on its fire engine, and a hose tower with a
  red lamp; a police station with a chequered band, a police car's light bar on the roof and a
  shield with a star. They are drawn like the other buildings and have people at their windows,
  grown-ups only at the two stations.

• All six on every theme, taking turns. Each of the twelve themes now has all six buildings. As
  the scenery scrolls they take turns in five places every two screens among the houses, about three
  on a screen, in an order of their own: never two alike on the screen, and never one changing while
  you look at it. Each time you come back to the home screen, they are dealt again.

• Fewer towers, more buildings among the houses. To make room, every two screens have one or two
  towers fewer than before (45 on the twelve themes where there were 62), and on some themes a
  screen can now and then show no tower at all. The towers that stay are the same ones, as tall and
  in the same colours. A few trees and garden parasols moved a little along the street to clear the
  new places; they keep their colours.

• Three groups. The towers and offices; the shops, which are the restaurant, the bar and the
  shop; and the public buildings, which are the school, the fire station and the police station. In
  World & scene, under Landscape, the Cities row is now four: Houses, Towers & offices, Shops and
  Public buildings, each opening its own page. Show Buildings is on the Towers & offices page and
  still shows or hides every building that is not a house.

• Colours of their own. The public buildings no longer wear the shops' colours: each of the
  twelve themes gives them a pair chosen for it, a blue-grey and a lavender on Autumn. If you had
  changed the shops' colours, you will find the same colours on the school and the two stations.

• Opening hours for each group. Tower opening hours, Shop opening hours and Public building
  opening hours, each with its own "Open from" and "Until", all three switched off as they come.
  The public buildings' hours are the school's: the fire station and the police station never
  close. If you had Shop opening hours on, you will find them on for the shops and for the
  school, with the hours you had.

• The gallery card draws three of a theme's buildings among the houses, each in its group's
  colours, and no towers when Towers is at 0 %, as the wallpaper does.

• Your saved themes keep their street: their places, their towers and their trees as you saved
  them, with all six buildings taking turns in those places. Where one of the six would stand behind
  a tree trunk or a pole, or be too hidden, that place moves aside a little when the theme is
  opened; its buildings keep their colours and people, and the theme is saved as it was.

• The same work for your phone. On our test phone the wallpaper uses the same share of the
  processor and the same memory as 5.12, and draws as many frames a second.

Nothing else you have set has changed: your themes, colours and sliders are as you left them. A
theme saved with 5.13 and opened in 5.12 or 5.11, from a theme file or a backup, shows only the
restaurant, the school and the bar among the houses (on the streets of the twelve themes, the
restaurant and the bar twice every two screens), and gives the school the shops' colours and hours.

Still the case since v5.3: this version does not install on Intel-based devices or emulators,
Chromebooks running Android apps included. v5.2 remains the last version that does.
