+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>:

+
+
+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,
+rather than <, spurious move-list fetching occurred in Shogi.

+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
+== suffix.

+Inherit promoted-info that ICS does not give from previous board
+
+The ICS does not tell us in Crazyhouse (or Shogi) if a piece is
+primordial or a promoted pawn (or a promoted other piece). We now derive
+this info from the previous board. The option -disguisePromotedPieces
+controls this feature.

+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.
+
+2010-10-03 20:50:01 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Pass promoChar to SendMoveToICS

+
+2010-10-04 09:41:11 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+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.

+
+2010-09-16 18:48:29 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+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.

+Fix silent bug in drop moves

+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

+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.
+
+2010-07-05 09:55:14 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+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.

+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

+
+The stale-first-click fix interfered with proper handling of a piece
+being dragged when a game suddenly ended (because of opponent resign,

+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

+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
+
+The oldBoard was a local variable, and only squares of the old board

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

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

+This makes XBoard sensitive to the keybindings also when the cursor is

+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>:
+Add option -shuffleOpenings
+
+This volatile option is added just to make the existing variable
+available from the command line, not only from the menus.

+
+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
+which Chat Boxes should be opened at startup. The value saved in the ini
+file is the value that was read, not the actual chat boxes that were
+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).
+
+2010-02-19 21:46:05 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:

+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
+thus have to copied to the chat box directly) also need CR!)
+
+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
+besetup command that specifies the variant. XBoard variant names are
+used, except for fischerandom, which is 'fr'. Things like nocastle will
+probably still not work.

+Bugfix smart capture
+
+Disambiguate was changed to make sure that for ambiguous moves, a
+capture would always prevail in the closure, rather than the last move
+that happened to be generated. Before, double-clicking a piece would
+sometimes plsy a non-capture.

+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.

+Interface XBoard to GhostView file-browser dialog

+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)

+Observe a game in the background while playing
+
+A new (persistent) option -backgroundObserve true|false is added. When
+set, observed boards received while playing a game will not trigger a

+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

+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

+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

+
+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.

+
+This patch makes XBoard write the options to its conf file in
+Linux style, "-option value" rather than Windows style "/option=value".
+
+The WinBoard option parsing code has always understood both formats
+(including any hybrids), but the format it preferred for writing might
+look quite strange to Linux users. I also attached a file to be installed

+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 is the refactored EvalGraph code: the back-end part is separated off,
+and put in a file evalgraph.c, which in the future can also be used with XBoard.
+Only the WinBoard front-end code is left in the file wevalgraph.c. A new

+
+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
+to frontend.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.
