+ '.' and could not be selected on promotion.
+ * Fix cross-edge e.p. captures in Cylinder Chess (which was not
+ recognized as e.p.).
+ * Fix animation of Seirawan Chess castling + gating at Rook
+ square, which made Rook disappear.
+ * Fix adjudication of stalemates in variant Giveaway.
+ * Display of the variant tag in the Game List now works.
+ * Reset move entry (clearing target-square markers) on 'clear
+ board' in Edit Position mode.
+ * The Game List is automatically updated when you alter the tag
+ selection for the game lines.
+ * Indicate current variant in New Variant dialog of the GTK build
+ (by printing it in boldface on the button).
