updated polyglot protocol
I added a new option type "-reset" to the protocol for the new option feature.
4.4.0 does not implement it yet, but Michel wants it for future Polyglots,
and I think it is best to update the protocol in one big swoop. So I want to already
include it in the specs now. (engine-intf.html)
I made xboard's response to an unknown option type compliant with the new protocol specs.

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.
H.G. Muller [Tue, 1 Sep 2009 03:27:24 +0000]
updated installe script
I re-organized the doc files in the install, so they now all go in the
WinBoard\doc folder
(and none in the root). I so included the COPYING and COPYRIGHT files there.
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
current directory
in the menu short-cuts of some engines (which started in the fonts folder, and
could not find the opening book there...).

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;)

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.
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.

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.

Beginnings of installer for 4.4.0. HGM asked me to forward the nsi file,

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.
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).

Updated cmdline makefiles to be able to produce JAWS binaries.
This breaks support for MSVC 4.x. It may still be possible to
use that compiler if you obtain the latest SDK from Microsoft.
MSVC 6.0 still works, but I had to change the target windows
version to 0x500 which causes warnings about building beta
applications. This is all due to the use of MENUBARINFO data
type in the jaws binary. You can reduce the WINVER to 0x0400
safely if you are not building a JAWS binary, and MSVC 4.x
will work fine.

integrated jaws into winboard
I integrated the JAWS patch now into WinBoard in such a way that the
JAWS and standard version can use the same resource file. This new
winboard.c contains the improved dialog layot of the JAWS version,
but none of the menus and JAWS-specific acclerator keys. The latter
are now generated at run time by code in jaw.s. As a result jaws.h
could be cancelled, as there the JAWS-specific defines are no
longer needed outside jaws.c (now the .rc does not use them), and
is incorporated in it.

H.G. Muller [Sun, 12 Jul 2009 17:04:30 +0000]
fix for Animation of castling moves in Chess960
Animation of castling moves in Chess960 turned out to sometimes make the
king disappear from the display. For the time being I patched this in
xboard.c to suppress animation of FRC castling moves altogether. As FRC
castlings internally are represented as KxR, the to-square does not make
sense anyway, which made the animation look very weird even when it led
not to a king disappearance act. And the Rook move of a castling is never
animated.

several small fixes
uptracked winboard.ini
Cleanup: moved "Some definitions required..." from winboard.c to config.h,
and combined some definitions from borland w/ MS.
Changed internal HtmlHelp return type and 4th argument to facilitate various
compilers. These changes, while not strictly adhering to HtmlHelp() conventions,
won't impact anything since the function modified is internal only.
Modified HtmlHelp return values to integer to silence warnings.
Added help.c to the project in makefile.gcc & makefile.ms.
Fixed duplicate resource in winboard.rc.
H.G. Muller [Fri, 10 Jul 2009 05:08:15 +0000]
added JAWS support; help files for Vista; bugfixes for winboard.c
* JAWS support
* help files should now work under Vista (the user has to have either a program to view old windows help files or to view html-files installed)
* I fixed the tabbing between all windows that were added according to Tim's sugestions.
* I added typing in of a move number in the move type-in dialog as a shortcut to going to that position by use of the < and > buttons. Mainly intended to ease life for the blind, but I think it can be generally useful. (Although the move-history dialog provides that functionality too, this is quicker if you don't happen to have it open.)
* I added typing of a FEN in the move type-in dialog in Edit Position mode. (Which could not be used without mouse at all, and is defective in crazyhouse even with mouse, as there was no way to populate holdings.)
H.G. Muller [Fri, 10 Jul 2009 05:03:00 +0000]

two shogi related bugfixes
I discovered a bug in the move generator for the Shogi Dragon King. I
guess it went unnoticed so far because this is a promoted version of the
Rook, which hardly occurs in games. (moves.c)
There was also a problem with the piecesfix I sent you before; Shogi
chosen as initial variant did use wrong piece symbols. (I had tested this
on gothic, but there it happened to work for a different reason, unique to
gothic.) This affects xboard.c.
