15 years agofix printing out help message (list of command line options) (tiny change)
Chris Rorvick [Fri, 9 Oct 2009 06:46:52 +0000]
fix printing out help message (list of command line options) (tiny change)

The postfix increment always resulted in an attempt to print out an
option on the right side regardless of one actually existing. Use
prefix increment to prevent a crash when printing an odd number of
options.

15 years agoUpdated navigation accelerators, fixing ICS problems.
Eric Mullins [Fri, 9 Oct 2009 06:04:51 +0000]
Updated navigation accelerators, fixing ICS problems.

Recent changes to the navigation accelerators were in the wrong
accelerator table.  Since the goal was to correct non-JAWS versions
back to 4.2.7 behavior, I updated it to how 4.2.7 did it, but still
retained the #ifdef JAWS conditional compilation.

On an ICS, the navigation keys took control away from the ics
client to navigate the game.  The update requires the ALT key to
be pressed, but it works identical to 4.2.7, not causing an
unexpected focus back to the board window when you're just editing
text.

H.G. Muller [Tue, 6 Oct 2009 03:01:53 +0000]

The -forceIllegalMoves option uses setboard or edit to force a position when an engine refuses the move leading to it by an "Illegal Move" message.
Especially for engines using the edit command this was a bit tricky, because of the a2a3 kludge to avoid using the white and black commands.

Fixed bug dereferencing garbage, causing crash.

Commit fa8be4a3fc5d81e9ec1f6c218fcf55c95d34fd10 included code to free the
resultDetails of the gameInfo structure.  That exact code exists a few lines
above where it was added.  None of these free() calls finish by setting the
member to NULL afterword, therefore repeated attempts to test/free() the
members result in an attempt to free() memory winboard no longer owns, and
an eventual crash.

bugfix for protocol extensions: egtbpath -> egtpath

A new and very bad bug was discovered in the implementation of the protocol extensions:
XBoard sends a command "egtbpath" to the engine in stead of "egtpath" from the protocol specs.
After discussion on WB forum it was decided that egtpath was better than the egtbpath I originally
had proposed, and I changed it accordingly, but I had not realized that this string occurred TWICE
in backend.c, depending on if matched the -defaultPathEGTB of -egtFormats option.
I only changed the first occurence.

15 years agofix for keepalive and chat window
H.G. Muller [Sun, 27 Sep 2009 19:00:51 +0000]
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 also added the option to XBoard. Affects
xboard.c (DOS!) and winboard.c

(This also cures the regression of the winboard.c copyright patch)

I extended the chatbox patch to also listen to channel tells, and divert
them to a chatbox for that channel number. Affects
backend.c and wchat.c

That should make those patches fully operational. No docs for either of them
yet, though.

H.G. Muller [Sun, 27 Sep 2009 17:24:47 +0000]
added a chat window to keep track of multiple conversations

The chat-window patch affects:
winboard.c, backend.c, winboard.rc, resource.h, backend.h, and adds
the file winboard/wchat.c, which also affects makefile.gcc and makefile.ms.

In addition I added a new option -keepAlive, which affects
common.h (in addition to winboard.c and backend.c).

As I had to modify backend.h, I also defined the -reset option type there,
which we are going to add later. This required some changes
to suppress warnings in wsettings.c.

H.G. Muller [Tue, 1 Sep 2009 03:29:49 +0000]
workaround for error message for missing pieces used in variants and initstring bugfix

error messages showed for non-existing pieces showed up for old user supplied pixmaps. Loading a pixmap of the king for the missing pieces now.

Another bad bug surfaced: the -initString argument does not work in any
XBoard version! (Including 4.2.7b) The escape sequences for linefeed in
the string are not understood: -initString "new\nrandom\n" actually sends
the \ and n to the engine (which then does not recognize the line as a
valid command)!

So I also added a patch to expand escape sequences in the InitString and
ComputerString command-line options.

This required some updates of the links in some html files, and of the menu
link
to README.html in the install script. I also fixed an error with the

bug in backend.c when receiving lines from ICS

A space was appended to every character received from an ICS in stead of just at line breaks.

Arun Persaud [Sun, 23 Aug 2009 06:14:11 +0000]
fixed enable zippy in configure script and added some checks for OS X

make tried to compile zippy even when --disable-zippy was given. Also fixed a bug in xboard.c where #ifdef instead of #if was used to test for ZIPPY (it's either 0 or 1, so we need #if).

Also added some special checks for OS X, not sure if these will do it, but it's a start;)

15 years agoadded configure summary to configure output, also cleaned up configure.ac a bit

15 years agomake xboard usable with UCI engines
H.G. Muller [Sun, 23 Aug 2009 00:32:14 +0000]
make xboard usable with UCI engines

I made a small patch in xoptions.c (where the corresponding Engine Settings
dialog was for XBoard), to make it at least usable for UCI engines: I now
divide the options over upto 4 columns, if there are too many to fit into
a single column. This seems to work. Still looks very ugly, but it is
functional.

15 years agofix premove for winboard
H.G. Muller [Sun, 23 Aug 2009 00:30:05 +0000]
fix premove for winboard

This might fix the illusive premove problem. In 4.2.7 the code was not properly
indented, and this led to an unbalanced braces error that I then fixed the
wrong way.
Click-click premoves did only work after clicking the toSquare twice. It
might be
that they actually did work after clicking it once, but that the highlights
were not
displayed (although set) for lack of a display refresh.

15 years agofixed bug for double saved games
H.G. Muller [Sun, 23 Aug 2009 00:28:11 +0000]
fixed bug for double saved games

This patch should solve the problem with doubly saved games when XBoard is
closed.
I calculate a cecksum of each saved game now (including move comments),
and suppress saving if the checksum is not changed.

H.G. Muller [Sun, 23 Aug 2009 00:07:10 +0000]
fixed several bugs in the backend and added some more polyglot support

* I added recognition for the new UCI3 option types that are recognized in the WB
option features, to make sure this version is compatible with future Polyglots.
Also fixed a bug that failed to strip an asterisk prefix from the first
combo-box item.

* I fixed the ICS-time-in-PGN bug.

* I fixed a bug which caused a space to be missing when long lines broken up by
an ICS were joined.

15 years agobetter polyglot support for engine ouput
H.G. Muller [Sun, 23 Aug 2009 00:02:58 +0000]
better polyglot support for engine ouput

I fixed the algorithm for clearing the Engine Output window to work better with
the latest Polyglot, whight outputs UCI "info strings" amongst the thinking
output.

15 years agoBeginnings of installer for 4.4.0. HGM asked me to forward the nsi file,
Eric Mullins [Sat, 22 Aug 2009 22:23:32 +0000]
Beginnings of installer for 4.4.0.  HGM asked me to forward the nsi file,
but it seemed best to just add the installer tree to git even though it's
not finished.  You must install NSIS then FontName-0.7.exe (included in
installer folder) then run build.bat in the same directory.

15 years agotemporary fix for pre-select
H.G. Muller [Sat, 1 Aug 2009 20:09:49 +0000]
temporary fix for pre-select

As a temporary kludge I replaced looking into the holdings for the piece type by figuring out which piece would belong on the clicked holdings square. This is a non-trivial process, as it depends on which pieces participate in a certain variant.

15 years agochanged click-click moves
H.G. Muller [Thu, 30 Jul 2009 07:19:37 +0000]
changed click-click moves

I got complaints about the way XBoard 4.4.0 handles click-click moves, in particular changing the selected piece after selecting King (for which I suppressed interference with FRC castling in a rather brutal way). People tell me it is very annoying that clicks sometimes don't work to select a piece. WinBoard uses refined logic in the back-end to handle this, but the XBoard front-end is not interfaced with that yet. (This would require a major rewrite of the mouse handler.)

This temporary patch suppresses this behavior in all variants that do not support Fischer castling, and even there only exhibit it for Rook-after-King selection (which will be interpreted as an attempt to enter a castling move as K x own R).
