Fix fatal error on unsupported board size
When a board size unsupported by the engine was requested through the
New Variant dialog, this was discovered while the dialog was still up,
causing the error message to pop up as a child of the New Variant dialog,
so that it would immediately be taken down as the latter closed.
As a result it could not be confirmed, so that XBoard would not exit, and
was left in a pathologic state (ignoring window-close). This is fixed
by performing Reset (which detects the error) after PopDown of New Variant.
H.G. Muller [Fri, 1 Mar 2013 11:39:40 +0000]
Accept setup command for non-standard board size
The code to test if board-size is standard for the current variant

a "setup" command from the engine.

Fix buffer overflow in feature parsing
String features (variants, egt, myname and option) relied on a buf[MSG_SIZ]
for processing their value. The Nebiyu engine had combobox options that
required more than that. All string features are now stored in allocated
memory rather than in static arrays, and StringFeature allocates a buffer
of sufficient size for them. Only limitation now is the low-level input
buffer in the InputSource threads, whih is a static buffer of 4096
(=INPUT_SOURCE_BUF_SIZE) characters.

Fix vertical sizing of GTK board
The clipping of the boad at the bottom was due to resizing of the clock

Let popping up of WinBoard chatbox for channel open it

H.G. Muller [Tue, 26 Feb 2013 16:27:59 +0000]
Make skipping of unknown option smarter
To make XBoard better resistant to the presence of disbanded or future
options in its settings file, encountering those is no longer a fatal error.
But the error recovery only consisted of skipping the rest of the line.
This fails badly on string options with a multi-line value, which is
enclosed by {braces}. We now detect that case, to skip to } instead.
H.G. Muller [Tue, 26 Feb 2013 16:15:39 +0000]
Add -backupSettingsFile option

xboard-4.7.0's documentation is not buildable with texinfo-5.0, it fails with a lot of error messages from makeinfo like
./xboard.texi:1026: @itemx must follow @item
makeinfo seems right, @itemx is not used as described in the texinfo manual.
Attached patch puts each item of the "Options" menu in it's own @subsection and formats the description of each item as a @table as neccessary. This way, xboard builds again and the manual doesn't look too bad.

Fix sizing of slave board GTK
For lack of a known method to specify a default size for Graph widgets,
we have to use the same system as for the main board: create with 0x0 size,
and measure the size of the outer window to determine margins.
After every popup we then resize to the required board size plus these
margins. (Awful...)
H.G. Muller [Wed, 20 Feb 2013 09:08:09 +0000]
Better handling of undefined window parameters
Repositioning and resizing a newly created dialog was based on the width
parameter of the stored sizing info being valid. Now it is separately
tested if the position is valid, so that sizing and moving can be done
independently. This allows us to store position info, but not size info
for the slave board, so that it automatically will use the size of the
main board when first opened.

Don't add PV moves on board clicking in AnalyzeMode
Playing PV moves by right-clicking the PV was only intended for clicks
in the engine Output window, selecting from multi-PV analysis output,
where by default it plays only the first move. PV walkig by right-clicking
the board, however, would start the walk at the end even in AnalyzeMode,
and thus add the entire PV. Which is probably not useful. So adding moves
in that case has now completely been suppressed, so it can be used for
harmless viewing of the latest PV.
The behavior has also been made subject to a persistent Boolean option
-appendPV, configured to true, with a checkbox in General Options.
A checkbox has also been added there for controlling the -variations option,
which is now also configured to true.

window to draw in, based on the partnerUp flag.

Only perform e.p. capture if there are rights
The heuristic for e.p. capture was such that any non-forward move with
a Pawn to an empty square would delete the piece behind its new location
(Xiangqi exempted). This is now limited to cases where EP_STATUS indicates
that the deleted piece was a Pawn that performed a double-push on the
previous move. (Or if there is unknown EP_STATUS.)
This makes XBoard more generally suitable for use with variants that have
non-conventional Pawn moves (with legality testing off). To guarantee this
will not have any unexpected effects in normal Chess, this patch will only
be active if legality testing is off.
H.G. Muller [Mon, 11 Feb 2013 15:25:09 +0000]
Unreserve tourney game on exit during engine load
While waiting for the feature timeout we are not yet in TwoMachines mode,

H.G. Muller [Sun, 10 Feb 2013 12:40:10 +0000]
Better fix of feature timeout
The previous fix of the 2nd engine's done=1 aborting the 1st engine's
feature timeout by starting the game caused problems with v1 engines,
or other engines that would never send done=1. It is now fixed by
explicitly testing for a pending feature timeout after resurrecting
the 1st engine, rather than having TwoMachinesEventIfReady wait for
initDone to be set by reception of done=1.
Also refrain from freezing the UI between match games, as in TwoMachines
mode the UI is mostly disabled anyway.

That the mode always switched to EditGame after engine loading was
particularly annoying at the start of a game (where leaving BeginningOfGame

modes are now preserved, BeginningOfGame by refraining from calling
EditGameEvent() and sending 'force' to the new engine, and AnalyzeMode
be calling AnalyzeModeEvent() after the engine is loaded and repositioned.

This error is now caught, and leads to an error popup and stopping of the

Resend engine-defined options after reuse=0 reload
When the engine process is re-spawned for a new game under -xreuse setting,
any alteration of engine settings brought about through the Engine Settings

by re-sending all options (known from the previous load of the same engine)

engine's option features. Rather than clearing the option list, and
redefining it from the option features.
