fix for keepalive and chat window
I made a fix to the keepAlive option so it does not send the date command
to the ICS after every move. This required changing ScheduleDelayedEvent()
so that it does not execute the event if a new identical one gets scheduled.

-I did a major overhaul of the -stickyWindows feature. The game-list and ICS-interaction windows are now also sticky. 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). The way the window coordinates are saved in the .ini file is now relative to the main window, and some dummy options are added to be able to recognize right- and bottom-edge sticking, and reconstruct that when WB starts up with another board size. Also added are volatile options to ensure there will be space for auxiliary windows above and left of the main window.

-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().

don't expect them to be fixed rapidly. Thanks to Paul McGuire for
noticing that this works.
-
+
* Bugfix: Suppress the direct command to engine popup if there is no
engine. In WinBoard this case used to cause a crash. Thanks to
"Dargon" for the bug report.
* Bugfix: Clicking on a move in the MoveList window only updated the
displayed position; if a chess engine was active, its state was not
updated. Thanks to Alejandro Dubrovsky for the bug report.

newline and do not contain a '}'. This should address the problem
that the separate .ini files had been meant to fix; engine command
line lists can now be written without \-escapes.
-
+
* Fixed three bugs in relaying moves between engines in TwoMachines
mode: an engine would be sent SAN if the *other* engine had set
feature san=1, a relayed SAN move did not end with a newline, and
* 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.
-
+
* WinBoard bugfix: If you went into EditGame or EditPosition mode
while observing or playing an ICS game, and a new move came in
(snapping you back to ICSClient mode) while you were dragging a piece
the bug repeatedly until I finally understood it.
* Added a Zippy "farewell" feature; see zippy.README.
-
+
* Fixed a bug (xboard only) in processing -zippyReplayTimeout on the
command line. Thanks to Steve Beer for the report and patch.
* Send "computer" command to both sides in TwoMachines matches.
-
+
* Fixed a Y2K bug in Evan's cmail code! Thanks to Brian Mays for the
report and patch.
-
+
* Bugfix: Initialize variant field of GameInfo struct in gameinfo.c.
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.
Thanks to John Perry.
* WinBoard will now update the board immediately if a move is made
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.
-
+
* Added new larger piece sizes: big, huge, giant, colossal, titanic.

The new -fontSizeTolerance flag controls how closely a nonscalable
font must match to be used in preference to a scalable font.
