ChangeLog for XBoard/WinBoard
+* 11/02/2004: Add color lines for the ics interaction console if zippy used
+
+* 09/02/2004: Add mousewheel support for winboard. Play moves backward
+and forward with the mousewheel.
+
+* 11/26/2003: In WinBoard, setting the -debug flag now logs ICS output
+to WinBoard.debug too. (This isn't needed in xboard because ICS
+output already goes to stdout, so it's easy to capture along with the
+debug output on stderr.) This was issue #280 in the ToDo file.
+
+* 11/23/2003: Cleaned up some minor problems in cygwin.mak. Thanks to
+Hans Werner Strube for the problem report.
+
+* 11/23/2003: Updated the default list of chess servers in
+winboard/defaults.h. Deleted two that appear to be dead and added a
+new one that is active.
+
+* 11/19/2003: Swapped icon_white.bm and icon_black.bm in XBoard.
+Hopefully this will get them the right way around by default on more X
+window managers. I wish I understood this better.
+
+* 11/18/2003: Implemented a simple 32-bit random number generator for
+WinBoard, replacing the Windows rand(), which ranges only up to
+0x7fff. Formerly on Windows, only zippy.lines sayings that started in
+the first 32767 bytes of the file could ever be used. This was issue
+#505 from the ToDo file.
+
+* 11/16/2003: The xboard man page and info files are now built from a
+common set of texinfo source files, and the xboard man page now covers
+cmail as well. Formerly, ever since the texinfo file was first
+contributed to the project, it was separate from the man page and the
+two files had to be updated in parallel, making for a maintenance
+nightmare. To make combining the files possible, I took the Perl
+script "texi2man" from the GNU Units project and added support for a
+larger subset of the texinfo markup language. I then carefully
+compared the old man page and old texinfo file to make sure the latest
+and clearest words survived into the new combined texinfo file. It
+would be great to merge in WinBoard's help file too, but that's a
+larger project. It would have to be heavily conditionalized to
+deal with differences in features between XBoard and WinBoard.
+
+* 11/15/2003: Cleaned up and applied a small patch from Daniel
+Mehrmann, to stop overly long PVs in thinking output from causing a
+buffer overflow crash in backend.c.
+
+* 11/5/2003: When a chess engine sends a "telluser" command (including
+the cases where "tellall" or "tellopponent" acts like telluser), the
+information now goes into a nonmodel popup that is automatically
+dismissed when the user clicks anywhere on the board. This fix is
+more significant on WinBoard, where formerly you got a fully modal
+dialog that had to be dismissed by clicking on OK before anything else
+could happen. The bug was issue #406 in the ToDo file.
+
* 11/1/2003: Removed email addresses from this file to reduce spam
load, as it gets linked to from the Web.
* Modified xboard and winboard makefiles to be able to build the
project in the new combined directory structure.
-* Added woodthunk.wav sound contributed by Robert Jurjevic.
-
-* Applied a security fix to pxboard, from Martin Maeok.
+* Applied a small security fix to pxboard, from Martin Maeok.
* Fixed a bug in the game list dialog. The change in 4.2.6 to opening
games in text mode (meant to avoid getting extra \r's into comments)
