Dev Hoopla:

• Microsoft acquires HockeyApp to bolster its cross-platform development for mobile apps – The Next Web

Microsoft today announced it had acquired HockeyApp, a crash analytics service for mobile apps. The company intends to integrate HockeyApp into Visual Studio Online to improve support for iOS and Android development in addition to Windows Phone.

HockeyApp provides a variety of tools for helping developers distribute and test mobile apps, including crash reporting, beta software distribution and feedback, and cross-platform support for iOS, Android and Windows Phone.

In the coming months, Microsoft will announce new iOS and Android SDKs for its Application Insights software to take advantage of the new tools. HockeyApp for its part says that nothing will change for its users at the moment; their apps and accounts will continue to work the same.

• Go 1.4 is released – The Go Blog

Today we announce Go 1.4, the fifth major stable release of Go, arriving six
months after our previous major release Go 1.3.
It contains a small language change, support for more operating systems
and processor architectures, and improvements to the tool chain and libraries.
As always, Go 1.4 keeps the promise of compatibility, and almost everything
will continue to compile and run without change when moved to 1.4.
For the full details, see the Go 1.4 release notes.

The most notable new feature in this release is official support for Android.
Using the support in the core and the libraries in the
golang.org/x/mobile repository,
it is now possible to write simple Android apps using only Go code.
At this stage, the support libraries are still nascent and under heavy development.
Early adopters should expect a bumpy ride, but we welcome the community to get involved.

• Hit Dystopian Game ‘Papers, Please’ Lands on iPad Amid Publicity Over Censorship by Apple – Mac Rumors

The focus of Apple’s censorship lies in the full-body scanner introduced a few levels into the game that tasks the player with ensuring the person attempting to enter Arstotzka isn’t carrying any kind of contraband. The PC, Mac, and Linux versions of the game depicted fully nude (albeit in low resolution given the nature of the game’s graphics) versions of characters when put through this scanner, with an option to censor the nudity by including underwear on the characters.

Papers, Please for iPad, however, removes the choice from the equation, automatically covering the characters in underwear when scanned by the player.
