Swiftkey Keyboard gets Updated, more personalization options

The number one 3rd party keyboard on Google Play store just got an update. This wonderful keyboard with the best prediction capabilities out there(in my opinion), just got even better.

Thanks to the new update Swiftkey Keyboard now can collect typographical data from Google+ public posts and from Evernote. These are the new additions to the existing lists of apps the keyboard can get data from(E.g. Sms app, Facebook, etc). The new feature is being released to everyone just now, but it has been available to beta users for a while.
Even though this is a good thing to people who do not have problem sharing information, it isn't that good a news for others, more skeptical about what they share. Being myself one of these people, I am just happy that the new personalization features just like the old ones are not forced upon me. They are opt-in and anyone can activate them through the settings menu.
And just like all updates to all apps this one brings numerous bug fixes, mainly forced closes on some devices.
