Make non-existing opton in settings file non-fatal
It is rather difficult to recover from a situaton where the settings
file contains an unknown option (e.g. because you downgraded to a
previous version that had fewer options), especially in WinBoard, where
the user settings file is in a hidden folder, and people might not be
able to find it, let alone edit it. By just skipping the line with the
offending option, rather than generating a fatal error, when reading
from a settings file, such options will be automatically purged from the
file as soon as you save settings.
Small problem is that the user cannot be warned, as the initialization
has not progressed far enough at this point to generate error popups. In
XBoard we can at least print to the console, but in WinBoard there is no
warning at all. But the worst thing that can happen is that new options
in a settings file of a more advanced version will revert to their
defaults.
H.G. Muller [Tue, 14 Jun 2011 16:20:37 +0000]
Change long form of -tf option to -tourneyFile
This is a more logical name, and in the WinBoard docs it was already
described as such. Also remove the -processes option, which in the
current design of the tourney manager is no longer used.
H.G. Muller [Tue, 14 Jun 2011 16:17:08 +0000]
Fix default of -remoteUser
This has to be an empty string, rather than NULL, to prevent XBoard from

ticked when a fixed or dynamic random is chosen with the buttons.
H.G. Muller [Fri, 10 Jun 2011 09:58:17 +0000]
Fix type of shuffleOpenings
This was a Boolean option, and thus accessed by the args.h code as such,
while it was declared as an int (and used in backend.c as such). This
could have led to problems with different endianness.
Tim Mann [Fri, 10 Jun 2011 06:57:43 +0000]
Internationalize the file browser.
The file browser was missed in the previous round of
internationalization and had gotten broken by setting international =
True in its widgets. I got nothing but segfaults trying to set
international to False in the file browser widget subtree when it was
True in the main window, so I gave up and did the
internationalization. It turned out to be pretty easy.
As a tiny bonus fix, I removed some ../'s from includes, and you can
now configure and build xboard in a subdirectory again. This was
useful for building both --enable-nls and --disable-nls from the same
sources to compare functionality and make sure both still work.

H.G. Muller [Wed, 8 Jun 2011 15:33:34 +0000]
Fix display of logos
The logo files are now sought relative to the WinBoard install
directory. Non-existing logos cause clearing of the logo, rather than
letting the logo of the prevous engine hang. Logo change is requested
explicitly from the back-end (when an engine is initialized for a new
game), rather than using the kludge in StartChileProcess. This required
a dummy UpdateLogos routine in the XBoard front-end.

Clear Engine-Output pane when initializing engine
This to prevent output from the previous game hanging there during the

doesn't produce thinking output there.
H.G. Muller [Wed, 8 Jun 2011 15:20:01 +0000]
Fix display of last move of last match game
When a game was adjudicated (e.g. because XBoard detected mate) GameEnds
would trigger an exit if it was the last game of the match, and thus
never returned, while the ShowMove was called only after return from
Adjudicate. An extra ToNrEvent is now used in GameEnd in this case to
cause ShowMove to be called before exiting. (Ugly kludge...)
H.G. Muller [Wed, 8 Jun 2011 15:38:43 +0000]
Fix concurrency in Swiss tourneys
The pairing engine was consulted for the next round before all games of
the previous round were finished, if other XBoard instances were still
playing games. This caused the instances finishing early to stall
indefinitely. This is fixed by moving the Swiss pairing code to after
the syncInterval code. The normal pairing code (the call to Pairing)
must stay before it, because it determines the syncInterval. So ther is
a bit of tourneyType dependence cluttering up the code here. :-(
H.G. Muller [Wed, 8 Jun 2011 15:27:01 +0000]
Give error popup when pairing engine fails

double-quotes), and the comand is single-quoted if it contains
double-quotes (and double-quoted otherwise).
H.G. Muller [Wed, 8 Jun 2011 14:49:18 +0000]

Tim Mann [Tue, 31 May 2011 02:55:13 +0000]
Fixed small bugs in several .po files, enabling these translations to
be used. They all probably need more work from the translation team.
I don't speak any of these languages, but I did some spot checks
either from my own knowledge or using Google Translate, and they
generally look sane.
- Several files were in utf8 but needed to be marked as such (that is,
"CHARSET" changed to "UTF-8"). Affected es.po, it.po, ru.po, vi.po,
zh_CN.po, zh_TW.po.
- it.po was missing a \n at the end of one translation.
- ru.po had unescaped double-quote marks in one translation.
- vi.po needed to be normalized to Unicode normalization form C. With
this fix, more characters display correctly, though at least one is
still missing in the X core fonts that xboard is able to use.
See http://vietunicode.sourceforge.net/ for more about Vietnamese.
- zh_HK.po was written in big5 and then utf8-encoded on top of that,
making it unusable. I stripped off the spurious utf8 encoding and
then used recode to convert the file to Unicode properly encoded as
utf8.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to test any of the Chinese translations,
as I haven't been able to get XCreateFontSet to work in Chinese
locales with any of the fonts I have installed, even after adding the
Ubuntu language support packages for both simplified and traditional
Chinese. I did spot check a bunch of the translations using Google
Translate.
I've checked in a couple of tiny Perl scripts that I used to do part
of the fixups on vi.po and zh_HK.po in case we need them again.

Added "misc-fixed" as a fallback font to handle locales where
adobe-helvetica does not have all the required characters. The fixed
font is ugly but does have a rather complete set of characters, while
the helvetica font is missing Cyrillic characters (at least on my
distro). I haven't found a way to get a nicer font that includes
Cyrillic to work with XCreateFontSet, but I don't fully understand
why. I'll try to improve things further in the future if I figure out
what's all going wrong.
In the process I had to rewrite the code to insert the pixel size into
a font name (replacing a "*" in that field). The new code is much
more general.

Fix display of international characters outside the ASCII range.
1) Set Xaw resources required for internationalization --
*international and *fontSet.
2) Untangle the new XFontSet-aware code from the old FindFont code.
It doesn't make any sense to apply the old (and obsolete) size
searching code from FindFont to a font set, which contains fonts
that are all the requested size.
3) With these changes, the -font option doesn't work at all when given
on the command line. The -font option actually is parsed by the Xt
library, used to set the *font resource, and removed from argv
before xboard can see it, so the option didn't really work properly
with the new WinBoard-style option framework anyway. Now that
-font is even more broken, I changed the documented name of the
option to -messageFont and changed args.h so the option is saved in
~/.xboard as -messageFont.

Add Swiss tourneys through pairing engine

Allow generic dialog to ignore OK
The EndMark callback can now suppress popdown of the dialog on OK, when

Make engine startup failure non-fatal in WinBoard
Unlike XBoard, which forks first, the parent process WinBoard has direct

action is taken to 'bury' the deceased engine process. Like in XBoard,

Plug memory leak, filenames relative to installDir
String options are consistently freed now, before assigning a new value
to them through strdup. The init code now even does use strdup when
setting defaults. This is important for optionslike -lgf, which are not
saved in the settings file, and thus are usually left with their
default. When a dialog to set them then uses free, this causes a crash.
When setting the defaults uses strdup, ParseArgs can already free them.
This plugs an important memory leak, as ParseArgs in now called to parse
the tourney file before every tourney game (twice!), and the lists of
participants and results in it can be quite long. Macros are defined in
common.h to make the code look simpler.
Filenames entered through the generic popup are now interpreted
relative to the WinBoard installation folder, just as the saveGameFile
already was. The code handling the atter was made into a subroutine for
this.

Improve sizing of comment and tags dialogs
There seems to be a bug in Xaw for the sizing of buttons; they get
unpredicatble and weird sizes when the size is not explicitly set,
possibly stretching the initial width of a dialog to rediculous values.
Sizing back to a remembered value from the settings file then makes
buttons overlapand text edits shrink to almost nothing. To prevent that
we now define exlicit sizes for the buttons in tags and comment popups.

H.G. Muller [Sat, 7 May 2011 12:23:12 +0000]
Fix PV walking in analysis mode
ParsePV assumed that the PV would always have been produced by an engin
thinking about the final position of the game (or the one before it). In
analysismode, however, the engine can be analysing positions internal to
the game, and the PV would be considered invalid. This is fixed by
cutting of the tail off the game (shelving it in variation fashion)
before starting the PV walk, and reverting afterwards.
For this the PushTail and PopTail routines had to be split into an
'inner' part, doing the pushing and popping, and an outer part, handling
menu graying and popdowns (which is undesirable in in this application).

Lift limitation of text length in generic dialog XB
All string options should now point to allocated memory, as strdup /

initialize those.

is renamed 'Edit Engine List'. Unlike in XBoard, the dialog has separate
fields for the engine executale and its parameters.
The dialog is implemented by converting the Engine Settings popup into
a generic dialog generator.

Load new logo on engine change WinBoard
Picking the logo for the first engine is made into a subroutine. The
code for picking the logo of the first engine was made into a subrroutne
for this. We use the kludge to recognize the engine by its command line
when starting a new engine process.

Allow switching off match mode through menu
The Machine Match menu item is now checkmarked, and no longer grayed
during a match, and clicking it while a match is running will terminate
the match after the current game. To not be left with hanging
checkmarks, the checkmark is already removed duringthe last match game
(which is logically equivalent to ordinary Two Machines mode anyway).

Calculate and display tourney result

Implement Tournament Manager
New command-line options are added to specify the tourney: -tourneyType
(-tt), -tourneyCycles (-cy), -participants, -syncAfterRound,
-syncAfterCycle, -results, to be saved on a -tourneyFile (-tf), but
otherwise volatile. When a tourneyFile is specified during a match,
a new routine NextTourneyGame is called from NextMatchGame before every
game, to decide the pairing, and unload and redefine the engines, when
needed. The XBoard Match Options dialog can be used to set the options
and create the tournament file.
Actual loading of new engines is done by TwoMachinesEvent, which is
now modified to also wait for the feature timeout of the first engine.
Waiting for the matchPause is now also implemented there, after waiting
for the engines (so they can be started during the pause).
Pairings and color assignment is now all done in an absolute
(non-incremental) way, based on a new global game-number variable
nextGame, which takes over the function of matchGame in a tourney. The
latter is now used to count games between the same players, so it can be
still used to derive the load-file indexes (again in absolute fashion).
The next game to play is already picked in GameEnd, so it can be
decided if there is a game to be scheduled, or if we can terminate.

Fix crash on empty Engine Settings dialog
The generic popup was not foolproof against this.
