Bump version number to 1.9
H.G. Muller [Thu, 19 Apr 2012 21:01:22 +0000]
Update README file
H.G. Muller [Thu, 19 Apr 2012 20:59:53 +0000]
Remove S-Chess gating-move translation
This is no longer needed, since the UCI S-Chess engine now uses the same
gating-move notation as WinBoard protocol.
H.G. Muller [Thu, 19 Apr 2012 20:43:11 +0000]
Warn user when all moves have been collected
A line 'OK to exclude' is printed disguised as Thinking-Output, to inform
the user that he can start using the exclude command.
H.G. Muller [Thu, 19 Apr 2012 19:18:28 +0000]
Implement WB exclude feature
UCI2WB collects moves sent by the engne in analysis mode from the currmove,
currmovenumber info commands. After the full set for the current position
has been completed, UCI2Wb becomes sensitive for WB include and exclude
commands, to switch the moves in the list on or off. If not all moves
are on, the 'go infinite' will be accompanied by 'searchmoves'. If all
moves are off, the current search is allowed to continue.

Bump version number to 1.8
H.G. Muller [Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:09:56 +0000]
Wait for uciok before handling GUI input
WinBoard does not apply a feature timeout when restarting an engine that
had reuse=0, but immediately starts sending commands. This caused the
memory command to be ignored, because it arrived when UCI2WB had not seen
the engine's Hash option yet. Now UCI2WB stalls processing GUI commands
after receiving 'protover' until it sees 'uciok' from the engine.

Make translation of FEN with holdings also handle S-Chess
Like in Shogi FEN, UCI S-Chess engines have the holdings not immediately
behind the board, but before the move counters. Since Shogi FENs are
missing a few fields in this area (castling, e.p. and 50-move), some
recoding was necessary to make this work.
H.G. Muller [Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:00:29 +0000]
Put move translation in separate routines
H.G. Muller [Tue, 17 Apr 2012 05:44:50 +0000]
Translate S-Chess gating moves
The only existing UCI S-Chess engine requires the gating square to be
repeated after the gating piece suffix. Also gating-at-Rook castlings
have a different format: they mention the King move. UCI2WB now handles
these move translations.
H.G. Muller [Tue, 17 Apr 2012 06:56:39 +0000]
Update README file
Add description of the debug and -var options.
H.G. Muller [Tue, 17 Apr 2012 05:36:21 +0000]
Make supported variants run-time configurable
A new command-line argument "-var XXX" is accepted to set the variant
list reprted at startup to variants="XXX". It has to go between "debug"
and the engine name.
H.G. Muller [Tue, 17 Apr 2012 05:31:24 +0000]
Use 30msec margin in st->movetime translation
Because of the different definition of the time mentioned in the WB st
and UCI movetime (max time vs exact time), a margin is needed to not make
the engine forfeit on time.

Always pass info string with timing info
Even with nopost a sting starting with "info string times @" will be passed
to the GUI as debug output.
H.G. Muller [Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:47:44 +0000]
Fix some spurious output
Not all debug prints towards the GUI were controlled through the
"UCI2WB debug output" option. This is now repaired. The method for
matching an info string is made a bit more efficient, by only looking
at the beginning.
H.G. Muller [Sat, 14 Jan 2012 13:05:12 +0000]
Bump version number to 1.6
Also update changelog in README file.
H.G. Muller [Sat, 14 Jan 2012 12:53:08 +0000]
Fix engine names with spaces
Only the first word in the "id name" command was recognized by scanf.
H.G. Muller [Sat, 14 Jan 2012 12:46:45 +0000]
Make debug output optional
The debug output sent by UCI2WB to the GUI is made subject to an option
"UCI2WB debug output", which by default is set to false. A command-line
argument "debug" can set it to true from the beginning, so that you will
also be able to see the option handshaking.
H.G. Muller [Sat, 14 Jan 2012 12:13:20 +0000]
Eliminate polling in Windows
Also use pipe-based synchronization here.
H.G. Muller [Sat, 14 Jan 2012 11:14:57 +0000]
Implement ping
Use readyok / isready to really ping the engine before acknowledging the GUI.
H.G. Muller [Sat, 14 Jan 2012 10:56:13 +0000]
Eliminate polling in Linux
The sleep-spaced polling for readyok or bestmove has now been replaced
by pipe-based blocking of the waiting thread, waking it up by writing
a character into the pipe.

Check in Windows icon
H.G. Muller [Fri, 15 Oct 2010 09:15:25 +0000]
Checkin README
H.G. Muller [Thu, 14 Oct 2010 19:58:39 +0000]
Port UCI2WB to Linux
If WIN32 is not defined, POSIX calls are used to create the engine
thread, pipes and engine process, and an own implemntation of
GetTickCount() is suppled.
