• Added Dashboard.close()
• Fixed crash/race condition when returning from picking a profile picture

New Integration Strategy as of Version 1.5

• The OpenFeint.jar file is no longer provided. Please add OpenFeint as an Android Library using the instructions here.
• OpenFeint.initialize() should no longer be called from your starting Activity, it should instead be called from your Application's onCreate() method. See the OpenFeintExample for details.
• OpenFeint.setCurrentActivity() should no longer be called.
• OpenFeintDelegate.showCustomApprovalFlow() now takes a Context instead of an Activity. If you're overriding this method, make sure to update your method signature, otherwise it won't get called.
• It is no longer necessary to put anyDensity="true" in your AndroidManifest.xml.

Prerequisites

The following software should be installed and working before you install OpenFeint Android SDK:
