Working on PlainText bug

We’re working on a known issue that affects the recent releases of PlainText 1.5.2 and WriteRoom 3.0.1 (iOS). This bug only affects the iPhone 3G and the iPod touch 2nd generation running iOS 4.2.1.

An emergency beta got pulled together and we’ve sent out several test builds so far to figure out where the issue came from. After rolling the code all the back to 1.4.1 (April 2011), the issue still shows up in fresh builds. This may indicate a potential issue if the iOS 5 SDK is included when building the app.

This also affects TaskPaper 2.0 for iOS, which was ready for release this Monday. We’ve chosen to hold off on the TaskPaper release so that people on 2nd-generation iPhone and iPod touch devices won’t get gobsmacked by this bug.
