Very easy sudoku appears.

I have replaced the puzzle generator and solver in KSudoku with a completely new generator and solver based on published algorithms. It will be released in KDE SC 4.8, due out in late January 2012. The new algorithms provide a full range of difficulties, from Very Easy to Diabolical and beyond, which have been tested against ratings of puzzles published in newspapers and on the Internet. Enjoy!
