+Clean up fishy patch
+
+None of the ShowMove() calls in Adjudicate() was working, because when
+this code was taken out of HandleMachineMove() it was taken outside the
+scope of the local fromX, fromY etc. there, so that it started using the
+global variables from the mouse driver. As these usually contain -1,
+this suppressed move animation and highlighting. All these calls have
+now been removed, and ShowMove() is called after a positive return (from
+HandleMachineMove(), so within the correct scope).
+This improves the previous fix, which led to some flicker, because the
+erroneous ShowMove() calls did draw the new board (instantly), wich in
+the fishy patch was then immediately overwritten by the old position, to
+start animation. This drawing of the old position is now no longer
+needed either.
+
+2011-01-29 13:36:30 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Update RTF file
+
+The RTF file is adapted to the new menu organization.
+
+2011-01-29 13:31:48 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Update texi file
+
+The highlight-with-arrow and one-click-move menu items are described.
+The highlightMoveWithArrow and variations option are described.
+Load Next /Previous Position descriptions are moved to File menu.
+The description for entering variations is updated (using Shift key).
+The remark that editing holdings is impossible is removed.
+Spartan Chess is added to the list of supported variants.

+
+2011-01-24 15:01:25 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Greyout unavailable variants in New Variant dialog
+
+The WB radio-button code is refactored to be driven from a list (which
+must be kept in phase with the variant definitions in common.h!). It now
+also checks if the first engine supports the variant, and greys out the
+item if it isn't. XB now also makes this check. Slight re-ordering of
+10x8 variants there, to have the more common on top.
+If no radio button is selected, keep old variant even on OK.
+
+2011-01-19 11:10:59 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Move clock-click code to back-end
+
+Some duplicated (or should-be-duplicated) code for handling clicks on
+the clocks from the XBoard and WinBoard front-ends was merged and
+relocated to the back-end, so it can be shared. Noticeable was that
+XBoard allowed turn change in ICS examine mode by clock clicking,
+while WinBoard did not. WB, on the other hand, allowed clock adjustment.
+
+2011-01-16 23:15:17 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix legality testing of drop moves
+
+Drops of noexistent pieces (i.e. with a piece indicator letter that is
+not corresponding to any defined piece) are now parsed as
+ImpossibleMove, rather than IllegalMove, so they are also rejected with
+legality testing off.
+
+2011-01-17 00:28:32 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix WB Sound Options greyout and remove some grossness
+
+The sound and ICS Options menu items in WB were accessed 'by position',
+with fixed defined positions (always messing up any reorganization of
+the menus when you forgot to redefine the position constants in
+winboard.h). And not only that, but for completely mysterious reasons,
+the greying of the sound item greyed out the game-list options (above
+it) in stead when it was defined as 9, and the ICS options (below it)
+when it was 10 !!!. Now they are addressed 'by command' (and the
+position definitions are removed), which fixes things.
+
+2011-01-25 21:35:10 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Re-instate load next/prev position menu items
+
+As positions do not use something similar to the game list, these are
+still useful. For some reason I could not get Alt+Shift+PgUp/Dn to work,
+so I settled for Shift+PgUp/Dn.
+
+2011-01-16 21:56:14 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Remove superfluous copying of machine move
+
+There was explicit code in HandleMachineMove() and FinishMove() to put
+the move in the moveList, while MakeMove() already does this later in a
+more reliable way by calling CoordsToComputerAlgebraic(). This
+superfluous code is removed now.
+
+2011-01-16 21:44:26 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix spurious mate test in Edit Game mode
+
+When entering a game, it was terminated by the mate test even when
+legality checking was switched off (so that mates might not be reliably
+recognized). The mate test is now made dependent on legality testing.
+
+2011-01-16 21:37:16 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix type-in of drop moves
+
+Drop moves entered through the move type-in already come in the (piece,
+DROP_RANK, x, y) format, rather than having a holdings from square. This
+caused UserMoveEvent to consider them illegal when testing if the
+piecewas of the side to move, and when this was fixed, to recognize
+Knight drops as coming from between board and holdings (and thus
+illegal).
+
+2011-01-16 21:31:42 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix move type-in truncating game
+
+Starting a new variation by keeping Shift pressed did not work when
+OK'ing the move type-in, because there was some code ther that truncated
+the game. While this could be safely left to UserMoveEvent, which it
+calls, as the situation is not different from entering moves through the
+mouse.
+
+2011-01-11 16:12:02 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix legality testing for promotions
+
+Turns out WB has never tested for the legality of the chosen promotion
+piece, and would allow promotion to King innorml chess even with
+legality testing on (when entered through the keyboard)! Now strict
+testing is done, outlawing Pawns and Kings (or Unicorns in
+Knightmate). Only in suicide / giveaway Kings are stillallowed, and in
+spartan a black King if you do not have two yet.(And promotion
+toLnce,representing Hoplite Pawn,is forbidden there.)
+
+2011-01-11 11:34:07 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Reset 50-move counter on all pawn-like Lance moves
+
+Now the Lance represents a Pawn-like piece not only in variant fairy,
+but anywhere outside Shogi / Superchess, its moves should also reset the
+50-move counter in those cases. Especially important for Spartan Chess,
+where the Lance actually participates.
+
+2011-01-11 11:18:15 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix logo repainting
+
+The logos were not repainted when the main window was moved out of the
+display area, and then back into view. The reason for this is
+unknown, as the PaintProc calls HDCDrawPosition, which was calling
+DrawLogoOnDC. But the logos were not drawn, (or on an expose event
+sometimes half drawn!) despite the fact that the rest of the board was.
+The drawing of logos now has been decoupled from drawing the board,
+and has been moved to a separate routine DisplayLogos() (in analogy to
+DisplayBothClocks()). This is cleaner anyway, as the logos usually do
+not change when the board does. So apart from in PaintProc, it has only
+to be called when the mode changes (ModeHighlight()) or on swap clocks.
+This seems to fix the problem.
+
+2011-01-10 20:36:48 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix time in PGN info
+
+Saving of the thinking time in the PGN was broken by the patch that
+removed the race condition in the clock switching, because that moved
+the incrementing of forwardMostMove to behind the code that used fmm to
+index pvInfoList. As a result the time was stored in the slot for the
+opponent's previous move. The value is corrected now.
+
+2011-01-09 00:24:17 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fishy fix
+
+The move that delivers checkmate in two-machines mode is not animated
+when adjudication is on. There then also is no highlighting of this move
+Redrawing the board and calling ShowMove fixes it. Which is rather
+strange, because ShowMove was already called in Adjudicate (when it
+adjudicates), before GameEnds. For reasons that are not understood this
+call to ShowMove() (which calls AnimateMove()) is not effective.
+
+2011-01-09 00:21:41 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Reset machine colors after match
+
+The colors each engine playse are set to the originals after the last
+match game, so that a new match or two-machines game will not have
+swapped colors.
+
+2011-01-09 00:15:18 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Reset win/loss counters before match
+
+The win/loss counters were not reset, because the code counted on them
+being initialized to zero. But with matches startable from the menu,
+this is no longer true after the first match.
+
+2011-01-09 00:08:52 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Show move that causes false illegal-move claim
+
+Without claim testing XBoard takes back moves that an engine objects to.
+But when the engine is forfeited for a false claim, the move should of
+course stay. So the claim test is moved to before the take-back.
+
+2011-01-09 00:05:38 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix Spartan promotion to King
+
+Promotions toKing were refused when in check, because XBoard thought
+they would not resolve the check. Now the promotion is actually
+performed before doing the check test.
+
+2011-01-05 17:31:37 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix WB font-based piece rendering on variant switch
+
+The piece bitmaps were only created from the font characters when the
+number of ranks or files changed, because it was done in
+InitDrawingSizes(). This caused missing pieces when changing to a
+variant on the same board that used other pieces. Now InitDrawingSizes()
+is called for any variant switch.
+
+2011-01-05 17:25:11 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix right-alignment pproblem in WB ICS window
+
+Use of Ctrl-R to summon the context menu still trickled through to the
+default text-edit window routine, and caused right-alignment. This was
+because the text-edit reacts on keyDown rather than the character event.
+KeyDown of R with Ctrl pressed is now also intercepted and ignored.
+
+2011-01-03 13:04:56 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix chat window title
+
+The title was using the engine name, rather than the ICS handle, which
+did not work outside zippy mode. Now it only uses the engine name when
+no ICS handle is known. The titleis now also subjected to translation.
+
+2011-01-03 12:50:54 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix spurious reading of old game title by JAWS
+
+Because focus was switched to the board window before loading the
+selected game from the game list, the titlebar still contained the
+name of the previously loaded game, which would spontaneously be read by
+JAWS. Now the focus switch is done after loading the new game (which
+updates the window title.)
+
+2011-01-03 12:37:17 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Add variant Spartan Chess
+
+In the WB menu it takes the place of the defunct Twilight Chess item.
+The setup routine needed patching for setting up Lances in stead of
+Pawns for black, the check test had to be adapted to handle duple check,
+Alfil and Dragon moves were fine tuned in this variant to make the exact
+moves, and the promotion popup was adapted to show King and interpret
+Rook and Bishop as Dragon and Alfil for black. The Alfil now always
+moves as Modern Elephant except in Shatranj and Courier.
+
+2011-01-03 12:23:39 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix mate test
+
+Due to a bug in logical operators drops were tried for mate evasions
+even in non-drop games, which broke it in Superchess and Great Shatranj,
+and wasted CPU time in other variants.
+
+2011-01-05 17:19:35 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix promotion suffixon disambiguated piece moves
+
+The promotion suffixon piecemoves that needed disambiguation was not
+passedon to the back-end in most variants. Now it is passed on in any
+variant.
+
+2011-01-03 12:08:19 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix promotion of Pawn-like Lance
+
+In variants where the Lance is used to represent an unorthodox Pawn, it
+must promote when it reaches last rank. With legality testing on,
+however, the promoChar was ignored in ApplyMove in this case. The
+promotion suffix also was not appended in SAN moves.
+
+2011-01-03 11:57:23 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix WB promotion popup
+
+The promotion popup did not work properly in variants where black did
+not use the pieces that white wanted to promote to. Now the character
+for the selected piece is taken from the piece encodings of the side to
+move. In addition, selection of undefined pieces is ignored.
+
+2011-01-02 14:17:32 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix bug in parsing variations
+
+The moves parsed from a variation were stored in the moveList without
+appended linefeed. This caused errors if the variation extended to
+beyond the end of the main line,into a hitherto unused part of the move
+list, as the linefeed was then not there from the overwritten move. As a
+result moves sent to the engine were concatenated, triggering
+illegal-move messages and bringing the engine out of phase.
+
+2011-01-02 14:11:45 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Define Ctrl-R as right-click in WB Comment dialog
+
+To allow JAWS users to load a variation through the keyboard, Ctrl-R is
+equated to a right click at the position of the caret or selection.
+
+2011-01-02 14:10:02 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Allow starting a variation from keyboard entry in WB-JAWS
+
+The status of the shift key is remembered when space is pressed to
+select a board square.
+
+2011-01-02 14:06:14 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Disable some accelerators in JAWS version
+
+Single-key accelerators that could result in irreversible data loss are
+undesirable, because the risk of accidentally pushing them is too large.
+So the non-Alt duplicates of next/previous game/position are disabled,
+as are Home and End for Revert and Truncate Game. JAWS users will have
+to rely on the menus for those functions.
+
+2011-01-02 13:59:01 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Group engine-output memos with engine names
+
+The engine names are now defined just before the text edits, so that
+JAWS 11 will read the engine name when the memo for the output of that
+engine is selected. (JAWS 10 will still read the NPS, as it reads in
+geometrical order.)
+
+2011-01-02 13:55:19 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Put nr CPU earlier in tab cycle of WB Common Engine dialog
+
+By defining the max CPU control after hash size, the tabbing steps
+through the controls in geometrical (and logical) order, rather than
+having the max CPU in between the book controls.
+
+2010-12-29 23:47:14 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Update WB language template file
+
+
+2010-12-29 23:41:27 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Subject JAWS menu and spoken strings to translation
+
+
+2010-12-29 23:37:39 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Let JAWS SayString buffer full sentence
+
+The meaning of the flag parameter of SayString was changed to indicate
+buffering of flushing. On flushing a message of a single space is used
+as a kludge to indicate interruptability. Calls to force flushing where
+added everywhere.
+
+2010-12-29 23:32:54 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Adapt JAWS menu to new menu organization
+
+The menus did not correspondto the texts after translation of the main
+menu bar.
+
+2010-12-29 23:18:30 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Translate menus after creation of JAWS menu
+
+
+2010-12-29 23:07:05 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix ICS context menu for JAWS
+
+The Ctrl+R key did select text at the mouse pointer in stead of at the
+curser, now that up and down-click were combined.
+
+2010-12-29 23:04:08 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Reorganize order of WB New Variant dialog controls
+
+The definitions are re-ordered so that at least JAWS 11 will speak the
+board-size elements properly.
+
+2010-12-29 22:57:55 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix order of elements in WB time-control dialog
+
+Someleading texts were defined after the text edit they referred to,so
+that JAWS 11 associated them to the wrong one. A tab stop was added to
+the time-odds label, to make JAWS speak it.
+
+2010-12-29 22:51:17 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Change tabbing order in WB sounds dialog
+
+The 'Play' button now gets focus immediately after the controls for
+selecting the sound, rather than at the end of the dialog (after OK).
+
+2010-12-29 22:47:26 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Remove tab stops on first radio button of WB dialogs
+
+The New Variant and Board dialogs had a tab stop on the first radio
+button,so that tabbing toit would automatically select variant
+normal or size tiny. Now it tabs straight to the current size, without
+changing anything. (Important for JAWS users.)
+
+2010-12-29 22:45:23 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Put OK/Cancel last in tab cycle of some WB dialogs
+
+
+2010-12-29 22:29:37 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix duplicate menu character for Edit Comment
+
+Edit Comment did have the same shortcut character as Copy Game. Changed
+to m now.
+
+2010-12-11 11:18:56 -0800 Arun Persaud <arun@nubati.net>:
+fixed automake process: xboard.conf couldn't be generated if $srcdir was not the current directory
+
+
+2010-12-11 09:50:48 -0800 Arun Persaud <arun@nubati.net>:
+new developer release
+
+
+2010-12-05 18:01:21 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Subject WB context menus to translation
+
+The innerloopof the menu translation has been made into a separate
+routine. This now uses GetMenuItemInfo() in stead of ModifyMenu() to
+better preserve menu breaks. Menu #10 is used for context menus (from
+the routine that pops them up), and for this number the orignal texts
+are not saved in menuText. (This is not needed, because the menu is
+created everytime anew from the resource data.)
+
+2010-12-05 15:00:28 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Update translation template
+
+Add the new menu items; add some notes.
+
+2010-12-05 14:04:46 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Resize buttons in WB engine-settings dialog
+
+The OK and cancel buttons were to narrow for most translations, and were
+a non-standard order as well.
+
+2010-12-05 13:56:52 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Add one-click move control to WB general-options dialog
+
+This is a duplicate of the one in the ICS options dialog, but the latter
+is inaccessible in non-ICS modes, and one-click move is now
+alsoavailable in engine mode.
+
+2010-12-05 13:51:20 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Create space in dialogs for translation
+
+The translated texts often did not fit, because controls were defined
+needlessly small (when there was empty space between them). In these
+cases they have been enlarged to consume all available space. Some
+dialogs are made wider.
+
+2010-12-05 13:47:26 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Add handle for translator acknowledgement
+
+An empty string is printed in the about box, which can be 'translated'
+to a message acknowledging the translator.
+
+2010-12-05 13:43:26 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Use default logo for user
+
+When no logo with the name of the current user is found, use dummy.bmp.
+
+2010-12-05 15:46:34 -0800 Arun Persaud <arun@nubati.net>:
+added rlwrap tip to FAQ
+
+
+2010-12-03 23:24:06 -0800 Arun Persaud <arun@nubati.net>:

+
+use $datadir and subdirectories to store some data files. Also make files in xboard.conf use correct path.

+
+2010-12-03 22:44:02 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix Edit Game/Position checkmarking in WinBoard
+
+Because the entries in Edit and Mode menu were pure duplicats, the
+entries in the wrong menu (Edit) were checkmarked while active. By
+defining different IDs for those in the Edit menu, those in the Mode
+menu are checkmarked again.
+
+2010-12-03 10:07:34 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Add XBoard menu items for arrow highlight and one-click move
+
+These items are put in the options menu; the 'Old Save Style' item is
+removed.
+
+2010-12-03 09:27:58 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Provide menus for editing WinBoard engine and server lists
+
+The Edit Tags dialog in the WB front-end is adapted to act as a general
+edit for string variables, by giving it an extra parameter to indicate
+where to store the edited result. Menu items are added to invoke this
+dialog for editing the /first, /secondChessProgramNames and /icsNames
+options. This solves the problem that people would have to edit an ini
+file that they can no longer locate (because the %APPDATA% folder has
+different names and locations in the various Windows versions, and is
+often a hidden folder on top of that).
+There is a slight memory leak here, as the memory for the previous
+value of the altered string option is not freed.
+
+2010-12-02 16:18:53 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Configure arrow highlighting as default in XBoard
+
+Set -highlightMoveWithArrow true in the xboard.conf file, and specify a
+lineGap of 0 to make that efficient (and the wood theme even nicer).
+
+2010-12-02 15:56:46 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Port highlighting with arrow to XBoard
+
+Unfortuntely this duplicates a fair amount of code in the front end.
+Removing the arrow is done by a total repaint if there is a non-zero
+lineGap, because the clever algorithm for selective redrawing (based
+on damage) that XBoard uses does not repair damage to the grid lines.
+For lineGap=0, however, (for which the arrow is mainly intended) the
+damage mechanism is used, and the damaged squares are determined by
+tracing out the arrow in 64 steps, and marking all squares in the
+neighborhood as damaged.

+Strip CR from xboard.c

+Fix fag-fell marker with logos on
+
+The flag-fell marker "(!)" that is displayed in the clock in WinBoard in

+Also exempt variant seirawan from eval-scale doubling
+
+It is not really a drop game, so a scale from -7 to 7 in the eval graph

+Configure EGTB cache size in adapterCommand
+
+The hash size, nr of CPUs and EGTB path are transferred through the WB
+protocol interface commands memory, cores and egtpath. But there is no
+WB command for detailing the EGTB cache size. So the value of the
+command-line option -defaultCacheSizeEGTB has to be sent to Polyglot
+through its startup command to make it known to UCI engines.

+2010-11-30 21:25:07 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix sub-variation display with negative score
+
+The test if the displayed score was the pvInfo score failed for negative
+scores, because floats are truncated towards zero. So the previous fix
+of spurious score/depth info was not working when the score was
+negative.
+
+2010-11-30 18:27:52 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Peel PV out of comment
+
+Arena stores engine PVs not in variation format, but within both braces
+and parentheses, before the score/depth info. This caused XBoard to
+overlook the score/depth info, (frustrating, e.g., the eval graph),
+while the PV would not be accessible for walking it as a variation.
+The routine that extracts the score/depth from a comment now has
+been made more clever, to recognize a leadin PV in the comment, and then
+place it in front of the comment as variation (by moving the opening
+brace to behind it). For some reason it does not work if the PV and
+score/depth were separated by a newline, but this happens quite rarely.
+
+2010-11-30 18:23:12 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Allow line-straddling result comments
+
+Some GUIs (in particular Arena) do not have the decency to keep the
+result comment on a single line. In this case the parser rules would not
+recognize it, and treat it as a normal comment, plus an undetailed PGN
+result. The rules are now fixed to allow linefeeds in the comment, and
+between comment and PGN result. To correctly process the comment further
+(e.g. in game-list lines) the linefeeds are replaced by spaces in the
+back-end routines that do use the result comment.

+Write key bindings in XBoard menus

+2010-11-29 18:01:38 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Configure XBoard to use wood board texture by default
+
+The texture pixmaps are sought in /usr/share/games/xboard, with names
+wood_l.pm and wood_d.xpm. I guess the " make install" should be adapted
+to put them there. XBoard is resitent to non-existence of the files,
+btw. It simply ignores the arguments in that case.
+
+2010-11-29 17:48:48 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Configure -inc as volatile option in XBoard
+
+XBoard users are not used to options being persistent, and thus have
+many scripts assuming the timeIncrement is -1 when they don't specify it
+on the command line, and want to specify -mps. But a persistent -inc of
+0 fom a preious session would then force their -mps to zero, causing
+big-time confusion.

+Make WinBoard clocks translation-proof
+
+With logos on, the splitting of the clock over two lines assumed the
+lengths of the words "white" and "black" would always be 5. Used strlen.
+
+2010-11-29 14:57:00 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Improve drawing of highlight arrow
+
+A diagonal arrow sometimes had a notch in the shaft because of
+independent rounding of the starting and ending point coordinates.
+Furthermore the width of the shaft was unnecessary variable(as a
+function of direction) because half the width was rounded and then used
+twice. Now rounding of end-points is always done towards a fixed grid
+of square centers, which keeps diagonals purely diagonal, and one side
+of the shaft is drawn relative to the other side, after the
+position of the latter has been rounded, so any rounding error affects
+the shaft width only once.

+The descriptions are shuffled around and organized into sections
+corresponding to the new main menus. Where necessary the name of the

+Divorce the Edit and Show Tags/Comment menu items

+In WinBoard the items in the Edit and View menu for Tags and Comment now
+have different IDs, so they can be independently controlled. Only the

+Apply gettext macros to menu texts
+
+Now texts and references are separated, the texts in the tables can be
+decorated with the N_() macro, so that the _() macro no longer has to be

+files.)
+
+2010-11-26 11:12:58 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Adapt some XBoard menu texts
+
+The "Show" prefix is removed from the "View" menu items, as this seems
+implied. An ellipsis is added to the Engine #N Settings items, which
+could not be there before, because periods in a menu name would break
+any reference to it. For some other names the ellipsis was deleted.
+(These were not refered to, but who knows what we will do in the future.)
+
+2010-11-26 11:03:35 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Separate menu text from menu name in XBoard
+
+The text string in the menu-definition tables was used both for the menu
+text, as well as for referencing the items from the code (for enabing or
+checkmarking). Now these can be defined separately, so that altering the
+menu texts is possible without breaing any references to the item.
+(Moving them to another menu would still break XBoard, though!)
+Currently the texts and names are still the same.
+
+2010-11-26 10:48:54 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Bugfix XBoard menu translation
+
+The gettext macro N_() was applied to the menu definition tables, but
+this would break any translation, as these items are both used as menu
+texts as well as reference for enabling and checkmarking. The routines
+that create the menus already apply _() dynamically to these items when
+they are used as menu texts.

+Fix spurious scores in comments
+
+The comment popup is also used to display engine PV info, but when the
+contents of the window is written back when we select a variation,
+it was treated as a real comment. This is fixed now by checing in
+ReplaceComment() if the comment starts with the PV info, and if so,
+ignore the latter. This solves the problem, but I guess the real bug is
+that selecting a variation tries to write the comment even if it did not
+change.

+(First) up-clicks were not always ignored: in Edit-Game mode with

+2010-11-07 21:37:10 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Allow clicked name internal to the icsMenu command string
+
+A command in the /icsMenu that was specified to contain the selected

+Let Engine #2 Settings start second engine
+
+If the second engine is not yet running, it would be impossible to use
+the settings dialog for it, as the features have not been received and
+the dialog will be empty. So the user could not adjust the engine
+parameters before starting a match. Using this menu now automatically
+starts the engine, and delays the appearence of the popup untill the

+Fix bug in parsing illegal Pawn captures
+
+When a pawn move of type exf5 was illegal, the parser made an attempt to
+interpret it as e.p. capture of f5. This, however, messed up the move,
+so that it was now permanently mistaken for e5xf6. Even in cases with
+legality testing off, where you would want the original move to be
+accepted despite the fact that it was illegal.
+
+2010-11-06 19:49:45 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Keep last PV while clearing engine-output display
+
+When ponder is on, the display is cleared immediately when the last line
+of thinking output appears by the appearing ponder output. So you would
+never get the chance to see it. This line is now re-written after
+clearing, so it appears at the bottom of the output for the next search.

+2010-11-06 19:45:18 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Give Lance moves of Berolina Pawn
+
+In stead of using it as a wildcard piece, the Lance gets the moves of
+the Berolina Pawn (straight capture, diagonal move). The initial double
+osh can be a ump, though. (So it is really a Hoplite Pawn from Spartan
+Chess.)
+
+2010-11-06 19:42:16 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Use SAN even on illegal moves
+
+If there is only one piece of type T, moves like Ta1 or Txa1 are never
+ambiguous, so adding the from square is just cumbersome.
+
+2010-11-06 19:34:53 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Use normal SAN for wildcard pieces
+
+SAN often can also be used with pieces we don't know the moves of, e.g.

+Allow arbitrary nesting of sub-variations in PGN input
+
+The parsing of subvariations is moved out of the state-machine parsing,
+to allow arbitrary nesting. In stead of the entire sub-variation being
+parsed by lex as Comment, it now returns Open and Close for the
+corresponding parentheses, which are then handled in a wrapper routine
+for yylex(): Myylex(). Problem was that yy_text is supposed to return
+the entire parsed text of the returned symbol, which thus has to be
+collected. To make this possible, yylex has to return everything that it
+parses, (even white space!), and a symbol "Nothing" was added to return
+in parsing rules that before just ate away irrelevant text without
+returning anything.

+2010-11-06 21:48:47 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Implement setup (engine-GUI) command
+
+This allows the frst engine (when legality testing is off) to overrule
+the default opening position, in reply to the variant command. Syntax is
+"setup (PIECE_TO_CHAR_TABLE) FEN_STRING"
+where the FEN string is interpreted in the context of the given
+pieceToCharTable (which is optional, and only delimeted by parethesis if
+it is present).
+Sendng the position to the second engine is delayed until the first
+engine has responded to the ping after the new-game sequence, to make
+sure it gets the chance to alter the position before it is sent to the
+second engine. This feature is useful for playing variants that WinBoard
+does not even know the opening positon for, and can be used even if they
+are shuffle variants.

+Restrict use of a2a3 kludge
+
+The kudge to send "a2a3" in stead of "black" to get black to move is
+fatally flawed in varants that have no Pawn on a2. So in that case we
+revert to use of the deprecated "black" command.

+2010-11-02 13:06:58 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Remember values set by -firstOptions, -secondOptions
+
+When an engine announces its option features, and the option name
+matches that of a setting given in -first/secondOptions, the engine is
+sent hte specified value, but this value was not remembered as current
+value (but the latter was left at the engine-announced default),
+leading to inconsistent behavior in the Engine #N Settings dialog.

+Make test for valid promotion piece color-dependent
+
+This is needed to make it work in variants where white and black have
+different armies; quite likely white will promote to pieces that do not
+exist in the black army, so we really have to make sure we test if the
+white (upper-case) piece exists in this case.

+it a so-called Modern Elephant) in -variant fairy and great. The Dragon
+King (Crowned Rook), which had no moves defined for it outside Shogi at
+all, has been given Rook moves plus an orthogonal 2-jump, so that it
+can get SAN moves when used as Dababba or Short Rook. (Illegal moves

+
+By a trick (temporarily redefining safeStrCpy in common.h as

+could be generated for every occurrence where the size argument was equal
+to 4, i.e. where the 1st argument was likely a pointer rather than an

+only ne that does not #include common.h had to be fixed by making
+the #define in the file itself.
+
+2010-10-31 13:16:01 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix spurious promotions with legality testing off
+
+The recent promotion patch had broken playing without legality testing
+completely: without legality testing one always gets the piece that was
+asked for, but a NULLCHAR should not be taken as a request for a piece!
+But it was, and this resulted in any moved piece turning into a white
+Pawn! For true promotions the piece was always black, which was also not
+very useful.
+
+Also revert to the use of '+' as internal Shogi promoChar, because
+pre-processing turns out not to be possible when reading a game file.
+In stead parse any trailing '+' on moves as promoChar. Downside: '++'
+can no longer be recognized as checkmate symbol.
+
+2010-10-29 22:54:18 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Make deferral default in Shogi promotions
+
+Because '+' is intercepted by the parser as check indicator, Shogi moves
+are pre-processed to change a trailing '+' into an internally used
+alternative '^'. The testing if a promotion character is OK is now done
+in LegalityTest() and Disambiguate(), which return ImpossibleMove when
+the character does not correspond to any piece, and IllegalMove when in
+Shogi anything other than '^' or '=' is used. (Except for the ICS
+notations.) On output, in CoordsToComputerAlgebraic() and
+CoordsToAlgebraic(), the '^' is translated back to '+'.

+Animate piece explosions in drag-drop moves and in XB
+
+This required some code restructuring: the decision if an explosion is
+needed is now taken in a new routine Explode() in the backend. This then
+calls the front-end driver, and it returns the info if there was an
+explosion or not, so the caller (AnimateMove() or the mouse driver) can
+take action to repair the damage to the board caused by the blast wave.
+A front-end driver for XBoard is provided as well, so that both
+click-click (and replay, which is the same) and drag-drop atomic
+captures are animated in XB as well as WB.
+Explosions on rejected moves are suppressed.

+Let -oneClickMove also work in EditGame mode
+
+There is really no reason why people that lke one-clcik moves enough to
+switch them on would not want to use them too when editing a game.
+This solves a nast inconsistency, as before it used to work in -ncp mode
+on the _first_ move, as the mode is then BeginningOfGame, and not yet
+EditGame, and we do want it to work for BeginningOfGame, as this is
+also the game mode when you start playing as white.

+2010-10-27 19:40:22 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Make -flipBlack and -allWhite option volatile
+
+As these options are very Shogi specific, and the variant is volatile,
+it seems logical to make them also volatile. Not completely sure about
+-allWhite, though. It cold be useful if you want, for example, to play
+wth dark-brown pieces for black, as any color but black looks much

+Enhance multi-session TC clock handling
+
+Some new TC types are introduced: Bronstein and free sessions. The
+former is implemented by letting an exclamation point '!' in front of an
+increment (in the -tc string) indicate that the increment is limited to
+the time actually used on the previous move. The latter is an interval
+of given duraton in which you can do any number of moves (even zero),
+before the next session starts. This is needed for implementing Shogi
+byoyomi-type TC, as a first session, followed by a session of fixed-time
+per move. The latter can now be specified with the -tc argument as a
+degenerate case of Bronstein, where the time on the clock is <= the
+increment (so that it is never possible to think longer than the
+increment). A TC of 5 min + 10 sec byoyomi can then be indicated as
+300:10+!10.
+
+The sessions are now separated by ':' in stead of '+', and all times in
+the TC string are converted to seconds first (in ParseTimeControl), so
+the fullTCstring can now be directly used in a PGN tag.
+
+Note that this patch only addresses clock handling; the engine will not
+be informed yet if the TC type or parameters change at the start of new
+session!

+2010-10-04 09:32:18 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Remove promotion-piece encoding from ChessMove type
+
+The shizophrenic way to indcate promotion pieces in the XBoard code
+(sometimes using a promoChar, at other times relying on moveType) was
+cured by combining all promotion move types (such as WhitePromotionRook)
+into a single one (WhitePromotion), and relying on promoChar to specify
+the piece. This solves the problem of promoting to new piece types in
+variants, which formerly also required addition of new move types.
+
+In Shogi the '+' character is now consistently used to indicate
+promotions (and recognized in ApplyMove), rather than 'q' or
+PieeToChar(BlackQueen), as the latter did not work in minivariants where
+the Queen (representng the Lance) did not partcipate.

+King moves from a central file to the king-side-castled position (1
+square away from the right corner) were intercepted and printed as O-O

+respect. It was counter-productive, because UserMoveTest was not able to
+change the fromX, fromY (call-by-value) parameters for passing them to
+FinishMove, so it had to defer the conversion of drop moves to internal
+format to the latter, while it did not belong there. (Because
+DropMenuEvent already delivers the moves in internal format.) This
+whole kludgy construction was therefore abandoned, by going back
+to the original 4.2.7 calling scheme, where UserMoveEvent completely
+pre-processes the move, and when it is valid, calls FinishMove directly.

+Make WB run-time language switch possible from menu
+
+This is a rather involved patch that might not be worth it. It is
+difficult, because translation of things that live forever is not easy

+Internationalization for WinBoard
+
+A function Translate() was added, which uses a list of item dialogs,
+reads their value, and replaces it by a translation (if available). It
+also reads the window title and sets a translation. Calls to this
+routine are added in the initialization code of every dialog callback.
+In addition all translatable strings in the WnBoard front end are marked
+by the gettext macro _(). Because WB is not gettexted yet, a hard
+re-definition of this macro is added in each file using it, to the
+string-translation routine T_() supplied in winboard.c.
+Code to read the translation file, and translate the menu texts is added
+in winboard.c. In backend.c the meaning of the gettet macros is
+redefined for the WIN32 case.

+for those.

+this was intended for the Sounds dialog. This accidentally proved
+useful, until we started to apply adjudictions also to the Human moves.
+Then it was suddenly undesirable, and a small mystery why it happened at

+Fix zippy handling of draw offers from ICS
+
+The patch by DM to fix the problem introduced by the coloration of
+zippy-matched commands (namely that the coloration code beat the zippy

+
+The patch by Daniel Mehrman from 4.2.pre8 was not properly merged, so
+that in XBoard no coloration would take place of ICS commands that were
+matched by zippy. (It was using &i as input pointer, rather than &backup.
+The XBoard-specific code now has been deleted completely, to remove a
+seemingly needless dependence on _WIN32_ of the back-end. Both WB and XB
+now use the XBoard method, to only match zippy commands when logged in.

+Define /firstUCI and /secondUCI as synonyms for /fUCI, /sUCI
+
+Because the %s expansion of WB options in the /fcp and /scp lines only
+works for options that contain 'first' or 'second', and /fUCI thus did
+not work, PSWBTM had to rely on the cumbersome /firstIsUCI=true to
+install UCI engines. (The latter option should be deprecated really;
+the UCI-ness of the engines is a volatile option, so it makes no sense
+to supply a way to set them both to false or true. One only needs to be
+able to set it to the non-default state.)
+
+2010-07-30 23:21:50 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Add string option /pieceNickNames
+
+This (volatile) option allows definition of alternate letters for the
+pieces, which will be recognized next to the standard symbols as given
+in the /pieceToCharTable on input. (Output always uses the standard.)
+This can be useful for reading PGN from another language, or
+non-compliant FENs (e.g. using B and N for E and H in Xiangqi).
+ The format of the argument is the same as for /pieceToCharTable.
+Because the nickNames are consulted before the standard table, it is
+possible to redefine a standard name as a nick for another piece.
+
+2010-07-30 23:10:42 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix deadlock in match-result display
+
+At the end of a match, GameEnds() was recursively calling itself,
+through DisplayFatalError() and ExitEvent(), and the latter was then
+delaying until the calling GameEnds() terminated. (Which it would of
+course never do before ExitEvent returned; fortunately there was a tim
+limit to this delay, but in XBoard it was 10 sec in stead of 10 msec.)
+ Now the calling of DisplayFatalError() (to show the result popup) is
+delayed until after GameEnds completes (and resets the anti-recursion
+flag 'endingGame'), so that it is simply executed a second time, unaware
+of the earlier call. But this second time it does not do anything,
+because the gameMode ws set to EndOfGame the first time, and the writing
+of the PGN is blocked by the checksum being still the same.
+
+2010-07-12 11:10:17 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix WinBoard game-list title
+
+Number of displayed games and WDL stats were always appended to the
+existing title, leading to an ever-growing title in the game-list
+window. Now the old actual title is ignored, and the starts is appended
+to the original title "Game List". (In the future we could use the
+filename here?)
+
+In addition, the title was not updated when re-opening the game-list
+window, while the stats could change if filtering was active when the
+window was closed. (In that case the filter is cleared on re-opening, so
+the number of displayed games changes.) Now a title-update (after
+recalculating the stats) is done every time the game-list window is
+opened.

+Refactoring of material-draws adjudication code
+
+Insufficient mating material is now determined per side individually, by
+testing for MatingPotential of each side. If both lack mating potential
+the game is adjudicated as draw (if the -materialDraws option is set).
+
+This way MatingPotential() can later also be used to correct losses by
+forfeit to draws (which currently is only done when the opponent has a
+bare King).
+
+The accuracy of this type of adjudication in Xiangqi has been highly
+improved.

+and then displayed. The variable is now declared static, so the
+uninitialized squares contain harmless zeros.

+Allow adjustment of clocks in any mode with shift+click

+Allow loading of PGN variations in XBoard
+
+Right-clicking variation comments in the comment-window was implemented
+through a translation. The right button is now bound to routines that
+set both the end and start of the selection, as setting a new start does
+not seem to work if the previous select-start was not completed by a
+select-end or extend-end. Finally the main handler uses the selection
+cursors to know what was clicked.
+
+2010-03-24 17:16:59 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Update XBoard docs
+
+Added a descripton of the new ICS options (seek graph, back-ground

+Fix handling username change during game
+
+The title bar and gameInfo (going into the PGN) were not adapted when

+The main window was only positoned according to the settings-file data
+after the engine was started up from InitBackend2(), so that if the

+position for the main window would be saved. The call to InitBackend2()

+
+This makes XBoard sensitive to the keybindings also when the cursor is
+outside the board window. This focus seems to persist indefinitely: each

+what is displayed had to be duplicated. (lastBoard and damage for XB,
+lastReq, lastDrawn, lastReqValid and lastDrawnValid for WB.)
+WinBoard now uses clipping also for second board. This required the
+clips for the destination to be translated horizontally!

+
+
+2010-02-19 11:18:21 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Let yy_text determine progress of PV parsing
+
+The parsed unit yy_text was not available after ParseOneMove(), because
+the buffer switch in yylexstr() apparently destroys it. To solve that,
+yylexstr() now is equiped with an extra buffer argument, where it copies
+yy_text before the switch, so the caller, ParsePV(), can see what was
+parsed in yy_textstr. This is used to update the PV pointer, but also to
+save any parsed comments (when ParsePV is used for parsing a PGN variation).
+
+2010-02-18 17:42:48 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Support playing through PGN variation comments
+
+Right-clicking a variation line in the comment dialog will shelve the
+current variation, and parse the comment to replace it. This uses
+ParsePV() in an alternative way, for which the latter had to be
+enhanced: it was made resistent to move numbers and comments inside
+the PV. It now has an argument to indicate if such comments should be
+stored with the moves. The Comment Popup is closed on revert, to
+make sure no comments to moves that are destroyed, containing
+variations on a non-valid line, can keep hanging around.
+
+2010-02-18 16:05:35 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Add Annotate item in Step menu
+
+This does the same as Revert, except that it adds the destroyed
+variation as comment to the original movem in PGN variation format.
+RevertEvent now has an argument to indicate if it should add the
+comment, or not. Comments in the abandoned variation are included in the
+varriation command to the main line. (The exact layout of the variation
+comment that results leaves still to be desired.)

+2010-02-10 10:55:51 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Allow WB Chat Box to be dedicated to shouts and 'it'
+
+By putting 'shouts' in the handle field, a chat window will capture all
+shouts and c-shouts, and send messages typed into it as shouts.
+The bracketing of the shouter name now indicates the type of shout.
+The handle for WHISPER Chat Boxes has been changed to 'whispers', to
+make it easier to pop them up by clicking the console.
+
+2010-02-16 22:34:23 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Add -chatBoxes option to open Chat Boxes at startup
+
+This string option contains a semicolon-separated list of handles for

+file is the value that was read, not the actual chat boxes that were
+open at the time of saving.

+Make Chat Windows pseudo-tabbed
+
+By adding buttons in every Chat Box to navigate directly to every other

+(The ICS did not understand long-algebraic promotion moves)
+Use bsetup within examine to set position onFICS, and also variant.
+Castling rights do not work yet for FRC. Totally different set of
+commands are needed on FICS and ICC.
+ FICS does not understand w23 or wild/23, but needs 'crazyhouse' in the

+Fix XB crash on giving keyboard focus to non-text widget
+
+In the Engine-Settings dialog SetFocus() could be called for non-text
+widgets, and this made XawTextSetInsertionPoint() croak. Setting the
+insertion point to the end in SetFocus() was a bad ide anyway, as it
+interfered with copying from the engine-output window, which would
+uncontrollably scroll on getting focus. It is solved now by setting the
+insertion point already on creation of the text widgets.
+
+2010-02-19 22:32:35 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Seek-Graph bugfix: disappearing output in ICS console
+
+Suppression of output to the cosole was handled fundamentally wrong: it
+was not enough to set next_out to after the unit that should be
+suppressed, as there can be a backlog in printing of previous units that
+came in the same packet. So this has to be flushed first, or it will be
+lost. -autoKibitz probably got away with that, because it comes in a
+separate packet. But seek ads are often suffixed to other output, and
+then that output disappeared! Now we flush everywhere before suppressing.
+We now totally rely on the prompt to restart the printing, so that
+acknowledgements following the echo of the sent message are also
+suppressed. Also suppress LF before diverted chat messages.
+ Also fixed is the 'mamer bug' in Chat Boxes, due to false parsing of
+a "* (*): " pattern in tell messages, because of a missing continue.
+
+2010-02-12 18:08:29 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Pop up ICS text menu with default item under mouse pointer
+
+The menu popup is migrated to the down-click (was up-click), so the
+up-click can select the item. Some trickery is needed to fool the menu
+into thinking that the mouse moved, so that a moveless up-down click in
+the ICS text field selects the default item (the upper-right one).
+Also allow dummy item in ICS text menu: The command "none" in the ICS
+text menu will now be treated as a grayed-out (disabled) entry, so it
+can be defined in the position underthe mouse pointer to prevent the
+up-click from doing anything, while keeping the menu open. Recommended
+for use with an entry of spaces.
+
+2010-02-10 14:42:49 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Allow ICS context menu to pop up a Chat Box on clicking handle
+
+A command "chat" defined in the WinBoard icsMenu string will cause
+ChatPopUp() to be called when it is clicked, with the clicked handle
+(name) in the ChatPartner field, and focus on the input field.
+ChatPopUp() had to get a parameter (the handle) to make this possible.
+If that parameter is NULL (as when it is called from the Mode menu),
+focus will still start on the (empty) ChatPartner field of the box.

+Match handles with multiple titles for channel Chat Boxes
+
+Only handles with at most one suffixed 'title', such as (U), (C), (IM)

+Remove race condition in clock switching
+
+The move number is now incremented inside SwitchClock, when no timer
+interrupt is scheduled, so the interrupt cannot occur at the wrong side
+of the increment, and decrement the wrong clock.
+
+2010-02-07 11:53:03 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Let second click on piece make only capture, with -oneClickMove
+
+Normally this would clear the highlighting of that piece.
+Required new field in DisambiguateClosure to count nr of captures.
+
+2010-02-07 11:18:56 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Bugfix stale first-click
+
+When the opponent resigned after the user had cicked a from-square,
+clicking the from-square for the first move in the next game would
+produce an "illegal move" message, because it was considered a to-click!
+We now set fromX and fromY to invalid in GameEnds().
+Should we also reset them on mode changes?
+
+2010-02-07 11:08:05 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Add promotions and e.p. to oneClickMove
+
+For e.p. the to-Square of the Pawn has to be clicked. Promotions are
+always to Queen when you click the to-square, but use the promotion
+pop-up when you click the from-square.

+updated year in copyright info
+
+
+2010-02-05 22:27:51 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+One-click moves
+
+Playing on ICS or against engine, clicking a square from or to which
+only a single move can be made causes the move to be done, when the new
+option -oneClickMove is set to true.
+
+2010-02-04 16:09:25 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Use squares for computer seek ads
+
+Shape indication passed in sign bit of color (char) variable.
+
+2010-02-04 22:46:41 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Use right mouse button to view seek ads
+
+Right down-click does the same as left down-click, right up-click
+simulates a left up-click off board (so it misses all dots).
+
+Use right-click miss to refresh Seek Graph
+
+The 'moving' parameter had to be made into an int for this, to indicate
+right clicks with code 2. Right press now already pushes the clicked ad
+to the back, so that the up-click will display an underlying one.
+
+Bugfix pushing back seek ads on right-click
+
+On a right button press the previous in stead of currently hit ad was
+receiving the penalty.
+
+Indicate seek-ad multiplicity
+
+If more than one seek ad is inside the capture range of the mouse
+pointer, an exclamation point is printed before the seek-ad text.
+
+Some fixes to make seek-ad suppression work in WinBoard
+
+In WinBoard the z-depth was immediately erased by redrawing the graph;
+the clearing of zlist had to be moved from PlotSeekAd() to AddAd()
+(where it really belongs). Also aging of z-depth is now suppressed on
+mere pointer motion.
+
+2010-02-04 22:45:01 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Dynamic Seek Graph
+
+The new option -autoRefresh sets FICS and ICC to report removal of seek
+ads, and then removes those from the Seek Graph. New seek ads are added
+to the graph, as soon as the ICS reports them.
+
+2010-02-04 22:42:15 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Implement SeekGraph in XBoard
+
+For now only controlled by left mouse clicks on board. New options
+-seekGraph true|false and -sg to switch this feature on.
+
+Facilitate selection of coinciding seek ads
+
+Seek-ads that are viewed but not answered get a distance penalty on the
+up-click that makes their selection more difficult next time, so that
+the ad they covered gets a (better) change. The penalty ages away in the
+course of 5 clicks.
+
+Slightly offset Seek-Graph dots of different color
+
+Dots of different color are now displaced horizontally be 3 pixels, to
+prevent them from completely covering each other. (Required the axis
+labels to be moved a little too, to not be covered by the 1-min ads.)
+
+Auto-show seek-ad texts in WinBoard
+
+Hovering the mouse above a Seek-Graph dot will make the text belonging
+to it appear in the message field without the need to press a button.
+Required SeekGraphClick() to be called from the WB mouse event handler,
+with an extra argument 'moving' to make the distinction with a real
+click.
+
+Show seek-ad text on mouse hovering (XBoard)
+
+The Eventproc is also set to trigger on PointerMotion, and this event
+then calls SeekGraphClick with motion=true to handle it.
+
+Put poetic name of wilds in seek-ad text
+
+Use XBoard variant names, except for 'loadable' and 'fischerandom'
+(becomes 'setup' and 'chess960'), but leave number (to distinguish wilds
+that transate to same XBoard variant).
+
+2010-02-05 20:36:50 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix highlighting bug in XBoard
+
+The from-square was drawn before the to-square was erased, which led to
+a missing highlight line if they shared an edge or corner.
+
+2010-02-05 15:49:59 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Shorten autoKibitz confirmation on FICS
+
+Strip off the "players)", but leave the separatng space.
+
+2010-02-05 14:39:55 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Repair damage to -autoKibitz done by FICS atomic zippy claim
+
+The sending of -autoKibitz info was also moved back in that patch, but
+unfortunately to after clearing of the programStats info. Now the
+clearing has been moved also, to remain after it.
+
+2010-02-04 23:33:50 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Send continuation lines to chat box they belong to
+
+The variable savingComment is used as a kludge to remember where the
+comment should go (i.e. which chatbox, or elsewhere), so that when a
+continuation line is matched, chatPartner (which was reset at EOL) can
+be restored to its original value. Also put space after handle of talker
+in channel Chat Windows
+
+2010-02-02 19:08:42 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix u64 format for cygwin
+
+With a -mno-cygwin compile %llu and %lld are definitely not understood
+by scanf and printf, although they are by the compiler. In stead, %I64u
+seems to work. Put it in under control of a switch USE_I64, which is
+defined only in the gcc makefile when MINGW is used.
+
+2010-02-02 19:02:28 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Remove stray dot from WinBoard makefiles
+
+There was a period suffixed to config.h in the wgamelist.o dependency.
+
+2010-02-01 14:50:01 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix bug in display of logos
+
+The logo continued to be drawn after a boardSize change to a tinyLayout
+size, although there was no space reserved for it. Fixed by explicitly
+resetting logoHeight when no logo space is reserved in InitDrawingSizes().
+
+2010-01-19 20:15:49 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Right-click refactoring: step III
+
+Let WinBoard call RightClick in back-end, and delete the duplicate code
+it had for this, after rescuing the front-end bits, and let the letter
+act depending on the result returned by RightClick.
+
+2010-01-19 19:07:15 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Right-click refactoring: step II
+
+Migrate the Right-click routine to the back-end. Let it communicate back
+square coordinates through pointer arguments, to accomodate their
+different naming in XBoard and WinBoard. Template added in frontend.h.
+
+2010-01-19 17:55:05 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Right-click refactoring, step I
+
+Divorce front-end part from back-end part of PieceMenuPopup in XBoard
+front-end, and forge the back-end part into a new routine RightClick.
+The right up-click in XBoard, which called unLoadPV() directly, now
+calls RightClick through PieceMenuPopUp().
+
+2010-02-04 23:09:47 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Merge gamelistopt sources into gamelist source files
+
+The files xgamelistopt.c and gamelistopt.c are merged with xgamelist.c
+and gamelist.c, respectively. The WB front-end for the dialog already
+resided in winboard.c, so there was little need to move it to wgameist.c
+file. Makefiles adapted accordingly. Unsuitable key bindings were
+removed. The low-level front-end prototypes are now defined in in
+frontend.h.
+
+2010-01-29 21:47:47 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Game-List options dialog for XBoard
+
+A dialog similar to that of WinBoard was cloned from the game-list
+window. The XBoard front-end is in a separate file xgamelistopt.c,
+which in fact implements most of the low-level front-end as back-end.
+
+2010-01-29 12:48:50 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Refactoring of game-list-options dialog
+
+The back-end part is separated off, and moved to a file gamelistopt.c.
+Front-end for now stays in winboard.c. No prototypes in frontend.h yet.
+
+2010-01-26 19:28:43 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix of ancient WB bug: test integer option values for validity
+
+Only a string of digits preceded by an optional sign is accepted now.
+Before, any string was accepted, and leaving out a value could lead to
+the next option being ignored (if it did not need a value) because it
+was considered the value for the previous one!
+
+2010-01-26 19:00:54 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix bug in edit-position of holdings
+
+The holdings were effectivelly taken one too large, so that a promoted
+shogi Pawn moved to, or created in the holdings was not demoted to Pawn,
+but put in the dark (which you could see by the holding count if you did
+it twice). The overflow tests in these two cases now have been corrected.
+
+2010-01-25 13:54:40 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Save fonts in XBoard settings file per boardSize
+
+Each -boardSize now can have its own font specified in the settings file
+(and thus by a command-line option, although it would in general not be
+very useful to specify a font for a size other than the selected). E.g.
+a prefix "size33:" to the font name will apply it only to -size 33.
+An unspecified-size font option (not normally in the settings file) will
+always prevail over a font option specific for the current size.
+A font of some size must have been used or specified in order to be
+saved.
+
+2010-01-25 08:56:35 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix width of filter field in XBoard GameList
+
+An empirical dependence of the width of this text edit on the square
+size now makes for an acceptable layout at any board size.
+
+2010-01-24 19:09:45 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Use FICS atomic draw claim for sending move in zippy mode
+
+For this the relaying of the move had to be moved until after the
+adjudication, which again has to be done after MakeMove(), which is a
+bit dubious, as MakeMove might take significant time when animating.
+
+2010-01-24 18:51:38 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Send FICS atomic claim to ICS if move creates draw after offer
+
+The FICS format "draw MOVE" is used to send the move to the ICS when
+the user enters a move that adjudicates as a claimable draw, and he
+offered a draw before the move. For the benefit of ICS that do not
+understand this format, the plain move is sent afterwards.
+
+2010-01-24 18:16:14 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Also allow user to claim by offering draw before his move
+
+Use the existing userOfferedDraw variable to test for such offers in
+Adjudicate().
+
+2010-01-24 17:29:42 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Also adjudicate after user move
+
+Call Adjudicate() in FinishMove().
+
+2010-01-24 15:56:56 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Refactoring of adjudication code
+
+Put all the rule-based (as opposed to score-based) adjudications in a
+separate routine, so they can also be called on user moves. This
+requires sending the drawing move to the opponent engine to be made
+conditional on existence of the latter. Execution of the code is no
+longer dependent on the condition TwoMachinesPlay, but actual game
+terminations are now all restricted by an alternative condition (no ICS
+mode).
+
+2010-01-24 11:46:30 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Use -keepAlive option to determine connection health
+
+When there has been no ICS response since the previous 'ping', assume we
+are disconnected and do a fatal-error exit. Also auto-start the ping
+process in InitBackend3().
+
+2010-01-23 23:00:10 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Use arrow keys in XBoard GameList for entry selection
+
+Add translations for arrows and home/end, to call LoadSelectedProc with
+argument to indicate the step, and let the latter perform the action.
+
+2010-01-23 22:24:20 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Allow <Enter> to apply filter in XB GameList filter edit
+
+Apply a translation to intercept the <Enter> key. Set focus back to the
+list display afterwards.
+
+2010-01-23 21:44:36 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Accept <Enter> for changing chat partner
+
+A kludge stolen from Alessandro's GameList filter allowed to let the
+typing of <Enter> while updating the chat-partner field of the WinBoard
+chat windows to act as pressing the Change button. Gives focus to the
+input field of the window afterwards.
+
+2010-01-23 21:42:38 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Move duplicat gamelist code to backend
+
+The filtering routines are moved from xgamelist.c and wgamelist.c to
+gamelist.c, and a prototype for them is placed in backend.h.
+
+2010-01-23 19:29:18 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Port game-list filtering to XBoard
+
+Added a text edit and apply button to the XBoard game-list dialog, and
+only have it print those lines that match the filter. Translate index in
+list to index of game in file when a game is selected, and index in file
+to index in list when a line is highlighted. Duplicates some code
+between xgamelist.c and wgamelist.c, which should be moved to back-end.
+
+2010-01-21 19:24:49 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Convert to DOS line endings
+
+For easier understanding of upcoming diffs of winboard.c
+
+2010-01-21 14:32:46 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Refactoring of move-history code
+
+The WinBoard code in whistory.c was split in a front-end part (remaining
+in whistory.c) and a back-end part (now in history.c in the xboard
+directory). This to allow easy porting to other platforms.
+
+2010-01-20 12:48:30 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Add fixed-time/move button in XBoard time-control dialog
+
+Put the TC-type buttons in a radio-group, and highlight the selected mode.
+
+2010-01-19 18:27:14 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix bug in XBoard PV display
+
+The PV was unloaded on anything but a button release, in stead of the
+other way around.
+
+2010-01-23 11:04:11 -0800 Arun Persaud <arun@nubati.net>:
+fixed hardcoded location of config file for xboard
+
+the location should now follow sysconfdir during the configuration process.
+Also added some more output to the configure script.

+
+2010-01-15 21:55:29 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Change opening array -variant fairy
+
+We now use the position of "Chess with Different Armies", FIDE army vs.
+a fantasy army (inspired on the Color-bound Clobberers) as opening
+position.
+
+2010-01-13 19:08:45 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Add variant Makruk
+
+Thai Chess, played by 2 million world-wide. Required pawn promotion to
+happen in a zone, and the Alfil to move as Shogi Silver, a new opening
+array, and unusual Pawn placement. Because of the latter, I consider it
+a setup position, so a FEN will always be sent to the engine.
+
+2010-01-17 14:17:10 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix parsing of O-O and O-O-O after FEN pasting in FRC
+
+Because the initial rights were not set in the FEN reader, the
+initial rights of the previous game remained in force, so that the
+parser did not understand OO-castling (although it would allow KxR
+castling).
+
+2010-01-15 14:40:43 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix reading FEN castling rights for knightmate and twokings
+
+Scanning the back-rank for a King did not work in these variants,
+because either the Unicorn castles, or there might be two Kings.
+
+2010-01-13 11:42:52 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix omission in castling refactoring for ICS received boards
+
+A default of -1 was still used, in stead of NoRights, when no Rook was
+found. In theory this could have had effect in a setup board 0 in FRC,
+when there were no Rooks on the back rank.
+
+2010-01-13 11:35:34 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix TwoKings ICS castling-rights bug
+
+Scanning the rank (as is done because of FRC) assigned castling rights
+to the rightmost King. Even scanning the opposite direction would not
+work, as it is not always the eftmost King that can castle. So we now
+explicitly test for a King on e1/e8 in TwoKings and assign it rights,
+relying on the Rook rights received from the ICS to control castling.
+
+2009-11-18 19:12:25 -0800 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+fix double start of zippy engine after switch to gothic
+
+In ICS mode we now switch to the proper variant as soon as we receive
+the generic game-start message, to prevent a mismatch when the first
+board is received (which would trigger fetching of a move list).
+
+2010-01-11 16:44:40 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Extensive bugfix of -autoKibitz
+
+Suppression of printing of diverted kibitz messages failed when they
+extended over more than one read. This could even lead to such
+messages being erroneously saved as comments, which then lead to
+crashes. The suppression mechanism now waits for a prompt, in stead of
+the end of buffer. This required the printing of any leftover in the
+buffer to be deferred until the next read completes it.
+The number of people kibitzed to is now printed.
+
+2010-01-11 16:30:59 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:

+
+Under control of the new option -showTargetSquares when
+-highlightDragging and -testLegality are on, the squares a piece can
+move to are marked by fat dots in the highlightColor (non-captures) and
+premoveHighlightColor (captures), as soon as you grab it for dragging.
+In variants with mandatory capture, the capture target of other pieces
+is marked with the highlightColor (as non-captures are then not allowed).
+
+2010-01-08 12:35:10 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:

+
+This patch makes XBoard and WinBoard use the same argDescriptor
+list of options, and (largely) use the same code for parsing and saving them.
+This is acheived by moving this code to a new file args.h, and #including this
+in both winboard.c and xboard.c (so that tiny differences, e.g. in default
+values in the table, are decided by the context). XBoard has new menu items
+"Save Settings Now" and "Save Settings on Exit" in the "Option" menu.
+XBoard uses /etc/xboard/xboard.conf as default settings file.
+A new option, -saveSettingsFile, can specify where settings should be saved,
+without parsing the file. (So that it also works if the file does not yet exist.)

+
+This is the next step in option-setting refactoring: All options that are
+defined in XBoard are now included in the WinBoard ArgDescriptor list.
+The handling of sound option has been harmonized: the sound names
+now all initially go to the appData array, (as in XB) in stead of directly to the
+WB-specific variables, and LoadAllSounds now takes care of the copying.
+A new routine ExportSounds copies them back before saving settings
+(which, in XBoard, could be a no-op).
+
+The definition of defaults for the XB-only options has been moved to common.h.
+
+2009-11-18 19:24:35 -0800 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+1st step for moving option parsing from winboard to the backend
+
+This is a preparatory step in moving option parsing of WinBoard to the back-end.
+The table of command-line options now contains a fifth field, holding the compiled-in default.
+This obviates most of the front-end routine InitAppData, which now is replaced by a table-driven
+initialization routine SetDefaultsFromList(), which could be back-end.

+
+This refactoring patch separates the back-end part out of
+xengineoutput.c, and puts it in a separate file engineoutput.c.
+A new header engineoutput.h included by both defines the routines
+for cross calling. Similarly wengineo.c will be stripped from its
+back-end code, (and renamed to wengineoutput.c), so WinBoard and
+XBoard now both use engineoutput.c rather than maintaining duplicate
+code in their front-end part.
+
+I also let the back-end now call EngineOutputUpdate directly, rather then
+through a relay in the front-end, by renaming it to SetProgramStats
+(the former name of the relay in winboard.c / xboard.c).
+
+Moved some templates of functions in engineoutput.c from winboard.h

+fix for new way of saving castling and e.p. information
+
+I forgot to make some conversions to the new-style encoding of castling there
+(using the enum constant NoRights instead of -1 to indicate
+the absence of rights, which was the price of storing the
+rights in the board, which is an unsigned enum type.)
+
+I also was a bit worried about portability, because I casted the enum type ChessSquare
+to (int) before comparing it with (possibly negative) constants EP_NONE etc.
+Now on my system enum types are (unsigned int), and this works, but I could
+imagine there are systems where this would be an unsigned char. (Not sure
+if there are rules for this). So to be safe I cast ChessSquare to (signed char),
+which should always work to make small negative ints assigned to it read
+back as themselves.

+Integrate castling and e.p. rights into board array; bugfix for EditPosition
+
+A large-scale operation that I have been postponing since the very first 4.4.0:
+The castling and e.p. rights are now integrated into the board array, as
+boards[moveNr][CASTLING][i] replacing castlingRights[moveNr][i] and
+boards[moveNr][EP_STATUS] replacing epStatus[moveNr]
+These quantities are now automatically copied with the position by CopyBoards
+(allowing the removal of lots of dedicated copying code), and passed as
+function arguments with the position (so that the moves.c functions like
+TestLegality, MateTest, CoordsToAlgebraic, Disambiguate, GenLegal
+no longer need explicit e.p. and castling parameters.
+
+Also fixed a bug introduced by a recent previous fix: by adding fake castling
+rights to a position set up through the EditPosition menu, I destroyed the
+castling rights of a pasted FEN. Faking castling rights is now made conditional
+in EditPositionDone(), depending on the caller. (I had not realized it was also
+called after FEN pasting, to send the position to the engine.)

+Some code refactoring and cleanup; one small bug fix
+
+Some code refactoring, mainly to bring definitions of routines and variables
+shared between winboard.c and one of the auxiliary-windows files
+whistory.c, wevalgraph.c, wgamelist.c, wengineo.c somewere in a header file
+(winboard.h). Unfortunately this made winboard.h dependent on data types
+defined in frontend.h, so that the #include order had to be changed in many
+other .c files.
+
+The operation revealed one potentially bad bug: engineOutputDialogUp was
+written as int in engineo.c, but declared as char in winboard.c.
+
+I also changed the storage mechanism of the the comment and tags window
+positions to use WindowPlacement structs rather than simple variables,
+so that in the future they can be docked, like the others.
+
+I also removed some remnants of the Analysis window.
+
+The wgamelist.h and wedittags.h header files contained only 3 lines, and
+I absorbed them in winboard.h, rather than creating other such nearly empty
+headers engineo.h, whistory.h and wevalgraph.h. This affects the make files.
