Muller : +Add mechanism to translate variable messages in WinBoard + +A message prefixed with % in the lng file will be considered a match +if it matches the start of the text to be printed, and the remaining +part of the latter will remain untranslated. This was needed to allow +translation of the perpetual change message, now it indicates the square +of the chased piece. + +2011-10-24 19:20:13 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Use other interpretation of Asia rules for chase detection + +The detection of perpetual chases now ignores pre-existing checks. + +2011-10-12 17:28:48 +0200 H.G.

Muller : +Fix Load Options dialog WB + +Defined fastkeys; reordered elements so that fastkeys focus edit they +are intended for. Changed some of the more obscure texts. Corrected +list of transatble dialog items, adding a few missing ones. + +2011-09-13 20:01:42 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Fix some warnings + +Prototypes were added, ormoved from backend.c to backend.h. + +2011-08-26 12:44:08 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Put 'Load Next' button back in WB Game List + +The '>' button for loading the next (filtered) game is re-instated in the +WinBoard GameList. The main window has now accelerator keys Ctrl+Up and +Ctrl+Down for loading the previous and next filtered game. + +2011-08-26 12:31:59 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Speed up position search and consider side to move + +The position search is made to pay attention to the side to move, +which produces a speedup, because we only have to compare half the +game positions when looking for an exact position match. An addition +we now keep track of the total number of pieces, and abandon a game when +it drops below the number of pieces in the position we seek. + +2011-08-21 23:16:15 +0200 H.G.

Muller : +Fix duplicate loading of second engine in tourneys + +To decide if new engines should be loaded, it was tested if first.pr +equalled NoProc, assuming that ReserveGame would have left the engine +loaded if the next game would need the same engines. But a reuse=0 engine +could have caused termination of the first engine process anyway, while +the second would still be alive. So unconditionally starting of the second +engine would cause redundant engine processes to abound. + Now we only start new engine processes if both engine processes are dead. + +2011-10-23 15:53:32 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Fix PV walking with -fSAN + +The SAN options had broken the PV walking, because the shelving of the +walked PV to create space for the conversion to SAN of an incoming PV +would not be properly undone, but would add the walked PV to the game. + +2011-10-20 12:39:10 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Refine clock adjusting + +Adjusting the clocks by shift-clicking them is now only allowed with +autoCallFlag off, and an error-popup results when you do it otherwise. +Also, swtching to Edit Game mode won't reset the clocks to the stored +value anymore when you have just adjusted it. + +2011-10-12 17:43:33 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Fix crash on adding items near book end + +When Edit Book would add so many entries near the end of an opening +book that the end of the added info would surpass the old end of the +file, the copying of the tail got stuck in an infinite loop, extending +the file without limit with repeating info. + +2011-10-12 17:41:18 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Print message on wrong use of Clone Tourney + +The user is urged to first provide the name of an existing tourney file +when he presses the button without one. The button is also renamed. + +2011-10-12 17:38:33 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Fix invalid combobox entry WB + +A combobox label that was not in the list (because the user typed +it, rather than selecting one) would cause a crash. + +2011-10-12 17:23:57 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Fix crash on loading garbage game file + +XBoard crashed when a game file contained a PGN game result before +any valid game start, because data would be written in a game-list +node that did not exist yet. This would occur frequently when garage +was read; basically any asterisk in the data would do it. + +2011-10-11 23:31:01 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Add control to set -discourageOwnBooks WB + + +2011-10-11 20:53:52 -0700 Arun Persaud : +only require 0.17 of gettext + +This seems to solve many build issues with older distrubtions and doesn't seem to be a problem with newer ones. + +2011-10-11 23:31:01 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Add option -discourageOwnBooks + +This boolean option determines the default setting of the hasOwnBook +option before a tourney game starts. By setting it, the hasOwnBook +option is cleared, which would enable use of the GUI book, like the +engine was installedwith the /firstXBook option. An explicit option +on the engine install line can still overrule this, though. + A control to set this option has been added in the XBoard Match dialog, +and it is saved in the tourney file to force consistency. + +2011-10-11 22:58:01 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Reset initString and computerString on engine load + +These options are typically engine specific, and must thus be +reset to their default value before loading a new engine. + +2011-10-11 22:43:00 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Add Romanian lng file + + +2011-10-07 16:55:45 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Reactivate Falcon Chess + +Now the patent for this has expired, Fairy-Max plays it again. +So the XBoard support for it is now switched on, and an item for it is +added to the XBoard New Variant menu dialog. (WinBoard still had that.) +In the array the Lance was changed for the Falcon as a wild-card piece. + +2011-10-03 09:59:40 +0200 H.G.

Muller : +Make book-window update part of HistorySet + + +2011-09-26 16:01:28 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Fix position loading in tourneys + +In a tourney a position must be loaded when the engine is not yet +started, and the old version of LoadPosition could not handle that: +It would start up the engine, and send it commands unconditionally. + +2011-09-26 15:58:07 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Fix resetting -fSAN on engine change + +There were two places for loading another engine, Load (from menu) and +SetPlayer (in tourneys), and the previous patch for this missed the +second one. + +2011-09-26 15:51:49 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Make too-long game non-fatal + +GameEnds is now called when the maximum number of moves is exceeded, +rather than DisplayFatalError. Not sure if this properly terminates the +game in all situations, but DisplayFatalError (after calling GameEnds) +would also wait for the user to confirm the error popup before really +exiting, so that in an unattended automatically running tourney there +was not much fatal, and the entire tourney would in fact be finished. + +2011-09-26 15:46:58 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Keep book file open + +Rather than opening and closing the book file on every probe, it is +now only closed and opened when the name of it changed. + +2011-09-26 15:44:23 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Suppress playing of book moves with weight 0 + +Bookmoves with weight 0 could be played when the sum of the weights +of all moves from the position was 0. So it was not possible to suppress +the only move by giving it weight 0. This is now corrected. + +2011-10-01 15:00:47 -0700 Arun Persaud : +added NEWS for release of 4.5.3 + + +2011-09-29 20:31:23 -0700 Arun Persaud : +better contrast for XBoard icon on a dark background + + +2011-10-01 13:09:59 -0700 Arun Persaud : +translationproject.org: updated Ukrainian translation + + +2011-09-29 20:49:42 -0700 Arun Persaud : +updated pot file and send to translation project + + +2011-09-22 12:09:39 +0100 Thomas Adam : +(tiny change) Clarify "-name" option is Xt-only + +There's a set of standard options with will get used by Xt, before Xboard +itself will use them. "-name" is an Xt-only option which will set the name +and resource of the window to the value requested. It has nothing to do +with setting opponent/player names. + +Signed-off-by: Thomas Adam + +modified slightly by Arun Persaud (renamed itemx to item and fixed option name for CMAIL) + +2011-09-22 17:17:16 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Fix LoadGameOrPosition starting up engine + +When LoadGameOrPosition() is called from NextMatchGame(), the Reset() that +is called in LoadPosition() when you are running from a position file +would prematurely start up the engine (without waiting for features). +The kludge to suppress this behavior for the explicit call to Reset() +is now extended to encompass LoadGameOrPosition. + +2011-09-22 17:14:34 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Clear fSAN option before new engine load + +This to prevent the new engine will inherit it from the previous one. +As the command-line options an only set it, this has to be done by +explicit assignment. + +2011-09-13 23:02:35 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Fix some warnings (prototypes) + + +2011-09-13 19:55:44 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Fix write failures in concurrency + +In WinBoard a flood of writes by differentprocesses to the same PGN can +cause a "permission denied" error in fopen. This patch causes retries after +a random (5-15 msec) wait, in such cases. + +2011-09-13 19:52:19 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Move HistorySet to back-end + +This existed in exact duplicates in both front-ends. + +2011-09-13 19:46:36 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Make DoSleep front-end wrapper for msec sleep + +DoSleep was #defined as a macro for Sleep/ sleep, with an argument +indicating msec in WinBoard, but seconds in XBoard. Nuw it universally +uses msec, by defining it as a wrapperin the respective front-ends. +(For XBoard itwraps FrameDelay.) + +2011-09-10 22:35:14 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Fix playing sounds when -soundProgram is empty + +It made no sense to just send the names of the sound files to the shell. +So the soundProgram isnow tested for being an empty string, and if so, +PlaySound() is aborted. + +2011-09-10 14:01:58 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Add -afterGame option + +This option specifies a command line to be executed after each game of +a tournament. To execute the line, the function RunCommand() was added +in the front-end. For XBoard this was a simple call to system(); for +WinBoard part of the StartChildProcess code was cloned (without the pipe +stuff). + +2011-09-10 13:52:12 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Upgrade -serverMoves option + +The (undocumented) -serverMoves option was upgraded to conform to the +ChessLive! protocol extension for sending SAN tags. A bug that allowed +upper-case promoChar to leak through was also fixed, and code was added +to write engine PVs to file. Flushing of the game result to the -serverMoves +file was also fixed. + +2011-09-10 13:50:25 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Fix AppendComment + +The joining of two comments was not performed correctly if the second +one had the braces yet to be added: the closing brace was not added in +that case. + +2011-08-30 19:39:59 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Auto-popup ICS Input Box + +Typing to the board made the move type-in pop up, but in ICS mode +this is of course undesirable. Like in WinBoard, the ICS Input Box +should pop up in stead, and accept the typed character. This is now +realized. If the box already exists and has text in it, the typed +character is appended to that text, and the box is given focus. +Spaces now also are considered as printable. + +2011-08-30 18:27:58 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Slightly decrease sensitivity of sweep actions + +The sweep-selection of promotion and drop pieces, or step through the PV +was so sensitive that it was difficult to reliably make the intended choice. +It has now been reduced by a factor 1.5-2, and the sweep selection and +PV walk now also use a different value. + +2011-08-27 21:16:58 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Extra buttons in WB Tournament dialog + +A button to copy contents of the tournament fileto the dialog is added. +Buttons to invoke the Common Engine and Time Control dialogs are also added. + +2011-08-27 21:15:00 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Fix crash on typing non-existent enginein Load Engine dialog + + +2011-08-24 10:30:46 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Fix display state after failed analysis attempt + +When an engine responded to the "analyze" command with an "unknown command" +message, a Reset was done without altering the display, causing a +discrepancy between display and internal state, which caused confusion +when it finally corrected itself. I replaced the Reset call by an +EditGameEvent call, to preserve the loaded game. The Reset was presumably +used to allow for the case where the engine would be so upset by the +analyze command that it needed to be reset by a "new" command, but this +seems overly paranoic for an engine that just recognized the command +as an unknown one. + +2011-08-24 09:58:35 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Fix treatment of PGN score/depth info with linefeeds in them + +This is needed to make the PGN more Arena-proof. + +2011-08-24 09:51:10 +0200 H.G. Muller : +Fix quoting in Load Engine dialog + +A (space-contaning) engine name only needs quoting when there are parameters, +because the over-all engine command will be quoted anyway. For UCI engines +duplicate quoting is fatal, because when passed as the -ec argument of +Polyglot, it will be quoted yet another time, also with double quotes. + +2011-08-23 21:24:23 +0200 H.G.
