Subject: Make board-size overrule options volatile
X-Git-Url: http://winboard.nl/cgi-bin?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6dc188524187b768c63f2bf3138c88fc75bc7ff8;p=xboard.git

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.
