+Revert "adding gnu-readline support"
+
+This reverts commit c95ef32a700132a134f335f857ca6f1b6f3c169f.
+
+Conflicts:
+ backend.c
+
+better to use the (relatively) new ICS input box then add readline support.

+Revert "bugfix: fixed readline support with icslogon option"
+
+This reverts commit b9cdd7422ad1037d7376bce4f8f2db2669396e83.
+
+Conflicts:
+ backend.c
+
+better to use the (relatively) new ICS input box then add readline support.
+
+2010-11-19 23:10:35 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Make Hoplite moves irreversible in Spartan Chess
+
+Consider Lance moves in variant Fairy (where the Lance represents the
+Spartan Hoplite Pawn) as Pawn moves, so they reset the 50-move counter.
+
+2010-11-19 21:09:24 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Give Lance moves of Amazon in variant super
+
+Now that Lance is no longer a wild-card piece the moves of Amazon must
+be programmed explicitly, to keep the possibbilty to play Superchess
+with legality testing on.
+
+2010-11-19 18:32:16 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Change representation of Bede in variant fairy initial position
+
+This used to be Lance, but the promoted Bishop (Dragon Horse)
+is more applicable. Especially now that Lance is supposed to move like a
+Berolina Pawn.
+
+2010-11-19 18:28:19 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Make yyskipmoves also suppress examining of drop moves
+
+Not sure if this does any good, but it seemed illogical that this would
+happen in all other moves, but not drops.
+
+2010-11-19 18:23:05 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Define moves for Dragon Horse outside Shogi
+
+Let it move like Bishop + Wazir + Dababba.
+
+2010-11-17 13:40:20 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix safety crash when appending comments
+
+The length limit imposed on safeStrCpy was one too short when copying
+an existing comment to the space allocated for the longer (concatenated)
+one. It allowed no space for the terminating '\0'.
+
+2010-11-17 13:38:00 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix safeStrCpy
+
+The test for when to terminate a non-fiting string was one off, and the
+debug message was written stdoutin stead of debugFP.
+
+2010-11-16 12:40:31 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix default holdings size for variant seirawan
+
+The holdings for 7 pieces werealways considered an overrule, so that the
+variant name was prefixed with "8x8+7_".
+
+2010-11-15 11:36:21 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix home-dir crash
+
+When confronted with a path name starting with ~ and not containing a /
+XBoard would segfault.
+
+2010-11-14 21:45:55 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix one-click moving on up-click
+
+(First) up-clicks were not always ignored: in Edit-Game mode with
+one-click moving enabled this could lead to a capture being made on
+the down-click, and the recapture on the correspoding up-click.
+This has now been corrected, and only the down-click of a first click
+can lead to selecting a piece or a one-click move.
+
+2010-11-15 18:15:40 -0800 Arun Persaud <arun@nubati.net>:
+fixed buffer size for snprintf
+
+
+2010-11-13 23:04:14 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Accept Seirawan-style gating suffixes
+
+The parser rules were extended to accept / as an equivalent of = in
+promotion-suffix notation (e.g. Nf3/H in stead of Nf3=H).
+
+2010-11-13 22:55:32 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Use Falcon and Alfil as built-ins for Seirawan chess
+
+Where available (size 49 and 72) we use Falcon for Archbishop and Alfil
+for Chancelor, to better conform to the Seirawan names Hawk and Elephant.
+
+2010-11-13 20:02:31 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Implement entering gating moves with mouse
+
+A move with a back-rank piece that starts when a piece in the holdings
+is selected will be interpreted as a gating move in variant seirawan.
+The front-end uses a 'gatingPiece' selected this way todisplay it on the
+from square during animate dragging.
+
+2010-11-13 18:56:15 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Implement variant seirawan
+
+Set upthe position, including Hawk and Elephant in holdings, in
+InitPostion(). Suppress putting captured pieces in holding. Let
+promoChar indicate gating in ApplyMove(). Remove gated pieces from
+the holdings there. Let GenLegal() generate RxK-type castlings to act as
+base for gating on Rook square. Gatings are tested for legality
+based on the holdings content and whether they occur on the back
+rank. Disambiguate() also tests this. Make sure the gated pieces are
+printed as move suffixes in CoordsToAlgebraic().
+
+2010-11-13 18:42:27 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Add -variant seirawan to menu
+
+
+2010-11-13 22:52:09 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix acceptance of null-move with legality testing off
+
+A second click on the same piece was interpreted as a to-square rather
+than deselection of the piece.
+
+2010-11-13 22:49:43 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix one-click bug
+
+Disambiguate was imagining captures, so an only capture by double
+clicking your own piece did not always work.
+
+2010-11-13 20:08:32 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix mouse-driver buglet
+
+The highlights were not cleared on moves that went vertically off board.
+
+2010-11-12 17:17:41 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+List some undocumented commands as compliant
+
+The engine->GUI commands setboard and setup are now always printed in
+the debug file as well.
+
+2010-11-12 17:05:22 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+List Hint with compliant commands
+
+This command was omitted, so that in some -engineDebugOutput modes it
+would not appear in the debug file.
+
+2010-11-12 17:02:53 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Restrict use of escape expansion
+
+Only expand escape sequences like \n and \t in telluser(error) comamnds
+that ask for it by preficing the messages by double backslash. Otherwise
+backward copatiblity is too severely broken for messages that display
+DOS-style filenames.
+
+2010-11-12 13:56:33 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Make safeStrCpy safe
+
+SafeStrCpy was causing a lot of out-of-bound write accesses, as it was
+always writing the character at the length limit of the destination.
+Now no memory is accessed that is is not needed to hold the copy.
+
+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
+text or clicked word always appended this word at the end. Now the user
+can also configure it to appear in the middle, by putting a %s in the
+command string where he wants it to appear.
+
+2010-11-07 21:33:19 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+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
+features are received, using a similar mechanism as in
+TwoMachinesEventIfReady().
+
+2010-11-01 19:40:26 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Newly lexed parser.c
+
+
+2010-11-06 19:55:31 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+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.
+if there is only one of that type. We just always get rank or file
+disambiguators if there are more (even when they might be unnecessary).
+
+2010-11-06 14:52:12 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix some warnings
+
+Unused variables were removed from parser.l
+
+2010-11-06 14:43:54 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+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.
+
+2010-11-06 14:19:56 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+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.
+
+2010-11-01 19:26:19 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+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.
+
+2010-11-01 19:23:43 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Remove validity test on promochar from parser
+
+The backend routines Disambiguate() and LegalityTest() will catch
+invalid promotions, so no need to do it here.
+
+2010-10-31 23:37:06 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Add the actual size-33 Shogi bitmaps
+
+These were forgotten in the original commit that fixed the .rc file.
+
+2010-10-31 13:20:08 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Delete some stale promotion code
+
+The correction of the promotion piece to Ferz in Shatran-like variants
+in ApplyMove() was no longer needed, as the new promotion code already
+does this in the move parser.
+
+2010-10-31 13:08:52 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Augment moves of some fairy pieces
+
+To get better disambiguation in variants that have to be played with
+legality testing off, the Elephant is given also one-step moves (making
+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
+currently aways force long algebraic notation...)
+
+2010-11-08 22:57:56 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Bugfix safeStrCpy patch, WinBoard
+
+The use of sizeof on pointers was detected through the same method as
+the previous patches, this time while compiling WinBoard. A typo in
+jaws.c was fixed as well.
+
+2010-11-08 23:03:13 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Bugfix for safeStrCpy patch for XBoard
+
+By a trick (temporarily redefining safeStrCpy in common.h as
+((char*) (a=1/(4-3rdArgument))) ) a compile-time warning (division by 0)
+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
+array. These cases are now fixed. The file xoptions.c, which is the
+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 '+'.
+
+2010-10-28 17:51:34 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+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.
+
+2010-10-28 13:53:51 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Suppress promotion popup if piece will explode
+
+In atomic, a Pawn capture to last rank is not really a promotion.
+Fix choice to Queen.
+
+2010-10-28 18:42:25 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Make Knight hop first straight, then diagonal
+
+It used to be the other way around, which looked pretty illogical in
+Xiangqi: to see Horses, which are blockable pieces there, move over an
+occupied square.
+
+2010-10-27 20:04:01 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+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
+better with outline pieces than with solid pieces.
+
+2010-10-27 19:33:44 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Provide some sample board-texture pixmaps
+
+Wood and marble themes are provided as textures for light and dark
+squares, plus two complete Xiangqi boards (wood and evenly colored).
+These should probably not goint the distro tar ball.
+
+2010-10-27 19:25:56 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+The -overrideLineGap option is made to work in XBoard
+
+Although XBoard already allowed this in the -boardSize specification,
+it is still seful to globally disable grid lines, e.g. for an
+oriental Xiangqi board. And it converges XB and WB.
+
+2010-10-27 19:18:41 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Implement board textures in XBoard
+
+The -darkBackTextureFile and -liteBackTextureFile options now wrk in
+XBoard too, for loading a pixmap that will be used to cut out the dark
+and light square backgrounds. The cutting algorithm is such that the
+pixmap image is completely restored if the size was that of the total
+board (e.g. a drawing of a Xiangqi board).
+
+2010-10-27 12:11:02 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Complete WB (western) bitmaps for Shogi at size 33
+
+The Lance was not replacing Queen in some sizes where the bitmaps were
+already available, and new bitmaps for the promotion Golds were added.
+
+2010-10-22 20:30:06 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Make starting new variation dependent on shift key
+
+The shift key is read during mouse events, and posted in a global
+variable, which can then be used by the back-end. The decision to start
+a new variation (pushing the game tail rather than clipping it off) when
+entring a move in Edit Game or Analyze mode is made dependent on this.
+The move-typein also records the shift-key state.
+
+2010-10-22 20:25:06 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix merging bug
+
+A %g format was used to print an int in sending the level command,
+because decimal points were dropped when merging patches. Also an unused
+variable was removed to suppress a warning.
+
+2010-10-18 19:50:09 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Add set of shogi pixmaps for XBoard
+
+The -size 64 pieces from gShogi (and originally XShogi) are made
+suitable for loading by XBoard, through redefining the transparent
+background color as either light or dark square color. These bitmaps are
+not included in the XBoard build, and perhaps should not even be
+included in the source distribution, but made available in a separate
+distribution?
+
+2010-10-18 19:46:33 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Implement -flipBlack in XBoard
+
+When -flipBlack is true, the white and back piece pixmaps are swapped in
+flipView. The idea is that the black pieces are upside-down versions of
+the white (Shogi) pieces, so that swapping white and black in effect
+turns all pieces upside down, which is what should happen in flipView.
+
+2010-10-11 21:06:41 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Disable some very verbose debug printing
+
+The internationalization seems debugged enough to do without them.
+
+2010-10-11 20:52:10 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Add option -variations to control variation-tree walking
+
+Just so that users can switch it off if the find it annoying.
+
+2010-10-11 21:01:00 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Allow full promotion suffixes on SAN piece moves
+
+This facilitates the parsing of (non-standard) Shogi moves in ICS
+protocol. It can also be useful for Seirawan Chess, where a future
+implementation of it can use promotion suffixes to indicate gating.
+
+2010-10-11 14:07:02 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Allow lower-case piece indicator in drop-move notation
+
+As it seems that XBoard also sends such moves in zippy play, it seems
+more fair to recognize them from the engine as well.
+
+2010-10-10 21:26:11 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix bug in ICS variant switch for Shogi
+
+Because a test for 8x8 variants was done by <= VariantShogi,

+Adapt WinBoard to Shogi implementation on Variant ICS
+
+The Variant ICS does not use the '+P' notation for promoted pieces,
+neither in the board, nor in SAN, but simply indicates any Gold by 'G',
+and uses 'H' and 'D' for +B and +R. The Shogi promotion code in
+LegalityTest() and Disambiguate(), which are used in move Parsing, are
+adapted to handle this. Deferred promotions sent to the ICS now use an

+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.

+Suppress spurious use of SAN castling in mini variants
+
+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
+in CoordsToAlgebraic. But on a 5x5 board (mini-Shogi!) this caught the
+normal King move Kc1-d1 as well. The castling notation is now reserved
+for King moves larger than one step.
+
+2010-10-04 08:21:19 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Make Shogi promotion zone board-size dependent
+
+In stead of using a fixed size of 3 ranks, we use BOARD_HEIGHT/3, which
+would translate to 1 rank for mini-Shogi (5x5) and 2 ranks for Judgkin's
+Shogi (6x6), which are indeed what these variants need.
+
+2010-10-03 19:58:00 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Make board-size overrule options volatile
+
+The options -boardWidth, -boardHeight and -holdingSize were legacies
+from the day choosing a variant would not automatically set a board
+size. As a result they are seldomly used anymore. The first real
+application is mini-Shogi (on 5x5 board), and it turned out very
+annoying if the 5x5 settings persisted to the next session, where you
+almost certainly want to play another variant.

+Extend legality testing to drop moves
+
+LegalityTest() can nowbe called with (internal-format) drop moves, and
+delegates their testing to a new routine LegalDrop(). This routine
+performs the 'no-pawn-on-back-rank' test that used to be in
+UserMoveTest (which now calls LegalityTest also for drop moves).
+The more complex Shogi case is also handled (except for Pawn mate
+drops) in LegalDrop().

+Revert splitting of UserMoveEvent
+
+This splitting into UserMoveTest and FinishMove was no longer needed,
+now that the new mouse driver no longer calls UserMoveTest to figure out
+if a move is a promotion, and XBoard and WinBoard are unified in this
+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.

+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.

+
+Because the %s expansion of WB options in the /fcp and /scp lines only

+not work, PSWBTM had to rely on the cumbersome /firstIsUCI=true to
+install UCI engines. (The latter option should be deprecated really;

+to supply a way to set them both to false or true. One only needs to be

+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

+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.

+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

+The cores command was alwas sent to the engine(s) when the user changed
+it through the menu, even when the engine had sent feature smp=0 (which
+is default anyway). NewSettingEvent() was patched to send the new
+setting conditionally, based on the engine properties as recorded in
+ChessProgramStates first, second; In this particular case it now
+consults cps->maxCores. (Note the code for testing the second engine
+contains some dirty pointer arithmetic.)

+Fix parsing of SAN shogi promotions
+
+A missing promotion character defaults to promotion in the move type,
+but the promotion character was not set when this happened in variant
+shogi. And it is especially important there, as the promotion character
+'+' will always be missing, as the parser will take it to be a 'check'
+symbol, and strip it from the move.

+Fix variant switch on PGN loading
+
+When the PGN specified an essentially different variant, the
+piece bitmaps were not properly adapted, because the switch was done by
+calling InitPosition(), rather than Reset(). (The latter would destroy
+the PGN tags info.) We now added an explicit call to ResetFrontEnd(),
+(which is normally done from Reset()).

+Remove font settings from master settings file
+
+xboard.conf should not contain general font settings (not specific to
+one board size) with specified point size. In fact it should not even
+specify sizable fonts, as the new system would make specification of a
+general font overrule the size-specific settings in the .xboardrc file,
+so the persistence of fonts would be completely broken.

+2010-06-30 10:52:27 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Cut board squares out of texture bitmap more cleverly
+
+When the bitmap is larger than the entire board, the squares are now cut
+out of the center of the virtual squares from subdividing the bitmap, so
+that they stay centered on the grid of a Xiangqi board bitmap. If the
+board size exceeds that of the bitmap, the old algorithm is still used,
+as the centering would make the edge squares exceed the bitmap, and
+cause a black rim around the board.

+Fix game end during dragging
+
+The stale-first-click fix interfered with proper handling of a piece
+being dragged when a game suddenly ended (because of opponent resign,
+or caling the flag), because up-clicks when the from-square was reset
+were completely ignored. Now such an 'unmatched' upclick calls
+DragPieceEnd() and redraws the board.

+Alter XBoard key bindings to mimic WinBoard
+
+A lot of new bindings were added, and four menuProcs had to be registered
+to be able to add bindings to them. The use of the control key as
+temporary take-back for the last move conflicted with the use of Ctrl
+keystrokes, and this function was migrated to '.'. The iconify function
+had no shortcut in WinBoard, but to get rid of letter bindings it was
+migrated to '-'.

+Suppress background observe for boards with own game number
+
+This is really a work-around for an ICS bug. The Variant-ICS sent the
+initial board of a game in a move list with relation = 0, which means
+'observed'. So XBoard was thinking it was observing its own game, and
+switched to dual board. It seems harmless to suppress such a switch for
+all boards of your own game, however, which is now done.

+Fix crash on switching to ICS xiangqi game
+

+Right-clicking variation comments in the comment-window was implemented

+
+The main window was only positoned according to the settings-file data

+
+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.)
+
+2010-02-15 19:07:12 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:

+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>:

+open at the time of saving.
+
+2010-02-16 19:44:46 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Make Chat Windows pseudo-tabbed
+
+By adding buttons in every Chat Box to navigate directly to every other
+Chat Box, a stacked set of Chat Windows behaves like a single tabbed
+window, but can still be unstacked. The buttons turn grey to warn that
+new text appeared in hidden boxes (i.e. not the one last brought to top).

+Fix copying of WB Chat Window contents
+
+All line breks were lost on copy-pasting the contents of a chat window.
+Adding CR to each outputted line in the front-end (wchat.c) solves this.
+(Tell messages sent to a handle (which are not echoed by the ICS, and

+2010-02-19 22:34:30 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Add upload of game to ICS for examining
+
+New item "Upload to Examin" in Action menu, calls UploadGameEvent().
+Use SAN moves to upload game to ICS, rather than long algebraic
+(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

+used, except for fischerandom, which is 'fr'. Things like nocastle will
+probably still not work.

+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.

+Note: The Ghostview dialog was using some deprecated variables for error

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

+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.

+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).

+
+The files xgamelistopt.c and gamelistopt.c are merged with xgamelist.c

+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).

+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

+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

+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).

+2010-01-13 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.

+
+This patch makes XBoard write the options to its conf file in

+
+The WinBoard option parsing code has always understood both formats
+(including any hybrids), but the format it preferred for writing might

+same argDescriptor parsing for Xboard and Winbaord
+
+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.)

+2nd step for moving option parsing from winboard to the backend
+
+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.
+
+2009-11-18 12:33:39 -0800 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:

+
+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.

+more work on variant switch
+
+the previous solution to the cosmetic problem of displaying a wrong shuffle
+in an ICS game that was observed from the very start unfortunately turned
+out to cause a real error in diplaying a stored game through the smoves
+command, for variants not using the FIDE setup as standard.
+
+This patch displays the position from before setting up the start position
+of the new variant, but does setup boards[0] to the initial position of that
+variant. (If this is a wrong shuffle, it is thus ot displayed, and a new board
+will immediately be sent from the ICS to correct the shuffle.)

+holdings update and regression fix
+
+The holdings-update patch was not yet satisfactory, because FICS seems to send
+holdings both before and after the board! And those received before did overwrite
+the holdings received after the previous board. I know tried to fix that in a kludgey
+way, by hiding a flag in the board that tells if the holdings have already been written
+by the ICS or not, and ignore new holdings when they are. (Except in bughouse,
+where holdings updates cannot be tied to a particular board and multiple updates
+between boards are normal. (I hope?).)
+
+I also undid a regression in my previous fix for the minor graphics problem,
+and solved it in a slightly different way to prevent flicker.
+
+2009-10-22 21:23:39 -0700 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+improved mouse handler

+I improved the mouse handler in a way which will preclude disappearence of pieces

+is now fixed, by removing the prefixing.

+fix for bug #8847: moving backward while examining on FICS not reported to engine
+
+I moved Daniel's code that backs up the engine when a bord with a
+lower number is received to a place where it is always done in zippy mode,
+rather than only when the engine is analyzing.
+
+Apart from taking back moves, there was also the case where the
+user moves forward by more than one move (usually immediately to
+end-of-game). In this case a new movelist is fetched from the ICS
+to recover the moves that were skipped. But this assumes that the
+engine is at the start of the game and feeds all these moves to the
+engine. So the engine had to be reset in this case to stay in sync.

+
+This patch implements commit 98aa02bda540f17f1f50be00e494efafe439b004

changed click-click moves
-I got complaints about the way XBoard 4.4.0 handles click-click moves, in particular changing the selected piece after selecting King (for which I suppressed interference with FRC castling in a rather brutal way). People tell me it is very annoying that clicks sometimes don't work to select a piece. WinBoard uses refined logic in the back-end to handle this, but the XBoard front-end is not interfaced with that yet. (This would require a major rewrite of the mouse handler.)
-
-This temporary patch suppresses this behavior in all variants that do not support Fischer castling, and even there only exhibit it for Rook-after-King selection (which will be interpreted as an attempt to enter a castling move as K x own R).

I also added a form of stickiness when the main window is resized; edges of auxiliary windows sticking to the right or bottom side of the main window stay attached when the window resizes (due to nr of board squares or their size).

some small bugfixes
-I had overlooked one place from which the FEN writer (of whicf I changed the argument types), which made WB crash if you copied a FEN (or PGN that cotained FEN) to the clipboard. I must have overlooked a warning during compile, or some depedency is not correct in the makefile. Anyway, wclipboard.c had to be changed.
-
-I also moved adjudication of some losing conditions to before tetsing for stalemate, (e.g. in atomic, if your king get destroyd you lose, even if you have no moves after that because it was your only piece.). this affects backend.c.

-I had used the same bits in the frule-modifier flags for indicating mandatory capture as was already used for indicating FRC-style castling. This led to frequent illegal move calls in FRC... (moves.h)

added option for work-around for some FRC engines in regards to FRCFENs
-It suddenly occurred to me that I had promised on CCC to include an option to provide a work-around for the problem that some FRC engines do not understand FRC FENs (and thus do not play at all under WinBoard, as FRC always has to begin with sending the initial position).
-
-So I added the options -firstNeedsNoncompliantFEN, -secondNeedsNoncompliantFEN. This affects winboard.c and xboard.c, (for defining the option), common.h, backend.h, backend.c, (for implementing it), xboard.texi and winboard.rtf (decribing it). This option provides users with a means to always force the FEN castling field to KQkq (but can be used for many other work-arounds as well).

fixed bug with random calls
-There also seemed to be a bug with the shuffling of opening positions; I had changed the declaration of the position number from long long int to u64 to comply with MSVC, but this suppressed shuffling completely. I now changed it to int. I recently noted a problem with true randomizing anyway: this was based on srand(time()), but time() apparently did not change fast enough, so that starting several games in rapid succession (because the book line contained a 3-fold repetition) produced identical games. So I now seed the random once and for all during startup, based on the msec of the time mark, and removed the other calls to srand().

-I guess in principle this is a good idea, so I adapted XBoard to Polyglot rather than the other way around. The result is that there are canges in xboard.c, and the documentation.

* The OK button in the WinBoard startup dialog is now simply disabled
if none of the radio buttons is selected, instead of bringing up an
error dialog. Suggested by Ted Milbaugh.

* Used ping to address the worst of the race conditions in the
protocol. Now if an engine supports ping, we ping it after sending
the "new" command and after trying to place it in force mode at the
of accepting them. There are a few more things that should be done
(and item 5 might not be quite what we want), but it's hard to fit
them all into the existing code.
-
+
* Patched the version of GNU Chess 5.00 included with WinBoard to
support protover, feature, setboard, and ping, and to fix some minor
bugs. See gnu500+.patch.
* Added "configure --with-Xaw3d" to allow use of Xaw3d widgets instead
of Xaw widgets in xboard. Thanks to Johnny C. Lam of the NetBSD
project. I've left Xaw as the default because Xaw3d is too ugly.

4.0.6 -- Fri Mar 3 16:20:11 PST 2000 Tim Mann
* Fixed bugs in Zippy's code for responding to messages sent with the
ICS "message" command.
-
+
* Fixed bugs where xboard could still create dialogs partially off the
top of the screen. Fixed unwanted interactions between initial sizes
and positions of various unrelated xboard dialogs. Deleted
borderXoffset and borderYoffset resources.
* Fixed restoring the xterm name on exit to work in more cases.
-
+
* Small fix to the WinBoard self-extracting installer: when it starts
up, it now always deletes any old wb-setup directory left over from a
previous installation. Formerly this worked only on Windows 95/98, so
available from http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/. Based on work by
Mark Schoenberg. (His mods were enough to get WinBoard through the
compiler, but a few things were broken along the way, so I reworked them.)
-
+
* Merged changes from Don Fong to make WinBoard compilable with
Borland C++ 4.5. I do not have Borland C++ and am unable to test with
it, but I did make sure the changes don't stop it working with MSVC++
mode when machine is on move. This used to confuse the engine and
cause problems, because when we try to get the engine to stop, it
might make a move first, and it might not do that immediately.
-
+
* Variant classification now deals with new ICC wild 25, classifying
it as "3check". Also, we are now conservative about new wild numbers
we don't know about, classifying them as "unknown" instead of
with a move number other than "1." (including "1..."). Thanks to
Michael Soulier and Stefan Zipproth for example PGN files
demonstrating the bugs.
-
+
* Changed InitComboStringsFromString to not modify the input string;
this caused an exception when WinBoard was compiled with MSVC++ 6.
Thanks to Bert Tuyt for the report.
releasing the mouse button no longer instantly aborts the move. You
still must release the mouse button inside a square to complete a
move, but you can now drag off the edge and come back inside.

while observing or playing an ICS game, and a new move came in

This could cause crashes in LoadGame. Thanks to Andrzej Nagorko.
-
+
* Fixed several pattern matching problems: Finger notes and formula
vars no longer get replied to by zippyTalk or colorized. Channel
tells by players with many titles are now colorized fully, and
* Bugfix: New -zippyReplayTimeout option was misspelled in WinBoard as
-zippyReplyTimeout. Thanks to Francesco Di Tolla.
-
+
* xboard -ics now restores the xterm's original title upon exit, at
least if $WINDOWID is set.
* Guest login handles on ICC are now parsed again; an ICC wording
change had broken this feature.
-
+
* Autodetect when the engine does not support the "draw" command and
don't relay the command to it in that case. Needed because sending an
unsupported command to GNU Chess makes it move immediately, so people
gray. Seeks are now colorized with a new color of their own.
* Added -zippyMaxGames feature.

* -zippyNoplayCrafty command line option was missing in xboard; fixed.

while the window is being moved or resized.

4.0.3 -- Sun Aug 15 18:44:39 PDT 1999 Tim Mann
* Bugfix: moved winboard wizard functions that send a command directly
to the chess engine from Ctrl+Alt+1 and Ctrl+Alt+2 to Alt+1 and Alt+2.
Ctrl+Alt is equivalent to the European AltGr key, so the old assignments
conflicted with typing an @-sign on some keyboards.
-
+
* Bugfix: prevent "If this message stays up, your chess program does
not support analysis" from appearing if AnalysisMode is selected when
already in Analysis or AnalyzeFile mode. Also, deleting analysis window
in WinBoard now switches you to EditGame mode, to avoid the anomaly of
being in an analysis mode with no analysis window present.
-
+
* Change all Zippy environment variables to work as command line
options. For now they still work as environment variables too, but
the environment variables are deprecated.
* Tightened pattern recognition for ICS messages sent to Zippy; should
no longer match ICC allobs output. Fixed recognition of when Zippy is
sent a message; small change to FICS output had broken it.
-
+
* Zippy now exits if the engine dies unexpectedly.
* Added Zippy "spoofedby" feature; see zippy.README.
-
+
* Narrowed the margins on some older WinBoard dialogs to make their
style uniform with the newer ones.
* Added one more built-in sound choice to WinBoard: move.wav from Pete
Galati.
