Hi, it's been a while since I worked on this project but could you perhaps clarify why this change is correct? I looked at a few sources (one, two) but these refer to the use of - for empty cells, not :, which is what this pull request is implementing. Is using this character indeed part of the file format for .puz files or am I perhaps misunderstanding why this change is made?
