Swype, the Android keyboard that originally popularized gesture typing, received an update today with both exciting and less exciting developments. The less exciting developments are, of course bug fixes and stability improvements. We all find them boring, but without them, we’d still have apps running with the reliability of Cupcake or Donut. Other more exciting improvements include Emoji support in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Korean, and Chinese, a return key in apps that have a default smiley button, and three new themes: material light, dark, and high visibility.

The most exciting updates are the inclusions of Vietnamese Telex, Swiss German, Swiss Italian, Burmese Zawgyi, and Sinhala, and the new floating keyboard feature. Now you can move the keyboard anywhere on your screen and type—the perfect addition for anyone who enjoys multitasking.

If you have the Swype keyboard, head on over to the Google Play Store and get your update today.
