https://github.com/Itsukara/SudokuExplainerPlus adds an undo button. This has been incorporated into the repository at https://github.com/blindlf/SudokuExplainer which also adds mouse related bug fixes, GUI cell masks and highlighting improvements.

Update: These improvements have been included in this project and should appear in releases after v1.3.0.1


lksudoku's repository https://sites.google.com/site/sefixshare/files contains several fixes discussed here. You can find a summary of changes made here. The fixes for BUG, UL/UR loop detection and UR/UL type 3 detection have been implemented in Sukaku Explainer. Initial testing with the Chaining sorting/detection fix showed that some bugs persisted and therefore was not implemented. The serate enhancements have not been implemented.


https://github.com/Sunnie-Shine/NewerSudokuExplainer (dead link). has an improved version of Sudoku explainer targeting the Chinese-speaking audience. It has new techniques added to include W-wing, WXYZ wing and others that are projected to be added in the future.

Update: The WXYZ wing was a modification of the current XY/XYZ detecting algorithm. A similar and improved version of WXYZ and VWXYZ wings has been added to Sukaku Explainer in addition to the 2 strong-link fish techniques (Skyscraper, 2-String Kite and Turbot Fish). A modified version of that has been added to Sukaku explainer that uses 3 strong links (3 Skyscrapers, 3-String Kite and 3-Turbot fish) in v1.6.1
