    **Fix for Android 15 and newer:** the top one and a half rows of the board were hidden behind the title bar, and the status line could be hidden behind the navigation bar. Android 15 draws apps "edge to edge"; the app now keeps its content clear of the title bar, the system bars and the camera cutout (portrait and landscape, main, help and match windows). Nothing changes on older Android versions. Thanks to Steve for the report! Install over 1.0.0 – same signing key, settings are kept. **Verify:** `sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS` Signing certificate SHA-256: `02:90:aa:bc:06:07:b5:ba:98:d1:fb:f6:7e:8f:03:b1:66:d0:4f:2d:65:45:63:4f:99:03:02:78:c6:05:46:a1` --- **Korrektur für Android 15 und neuer:** Die obersten anderthalb Brettreihen lagen hinter der Titelleiste, die Statuszeile konnte hinter der Navigationsleiste verschwinden. Die App hält ihren Inhalt jetzt von Titelleiste, Systemleisten und Kamera-Aussparung frei. Auf älteren Android-Versionen ändert sich nichts.
