Suggest default file name in browser dialog
The argument 'def' to FileNamePopUp() was not passed through to the new
file-browser routine, which got NULL in stead, and thus started with an
empty input field.
H.G. Muller [Fri, 30 Jul 2010 21:28:57 +0000]
Define /firstUCI and /secondUCI as synonyms for /fUCI, /sUCI
Because the %s expansion of WB options in the /fcp and /scp lines only
works for options that contain 'first' or 'second', and /fUCI thus did
not work, PSWBTM had to rely on the cumbersome /firstIsUCI=true to
install UCI engines. (The latter option should be deprecated really;
the UCI-ness of the engines is a volatile option, so it makes no sense
to supply a way to set them both to false or true. One only needs to be
able to set it to the non-default state.)
H.G. Muller [Fri, 30 Jul 2010 21:21:50 +0000]
Add string option /pieceNickNames
This (volatile) option allows definition of alternate letters for the
pieces, which will be recognized next to the standard symbols as given
in the /pieceToCharTable on input. (Output always uses the standard.)
This can be useful for reading PGN from another language, or
non-compliant FENs (e.g. using B and N for E and H in Xiangqi).
The format of the argument is the same as for /pieceToCharTable.
Because the nickNames are consulted before the standard table, it is
possible to redefine a standard name as a nick for another piece.
H.G. Muller [Fri, 30 Jul 2010 21:10:42 +0000]
Fix deadlock in match-result display
At the end of a match, GameEnds() was recursively calling itself,
through DisplayFatalError() and ExitEvent(), and the latter was then
delaying until the calling GameEnds() terminated. (Which it would of
course never do before ExitEvent returned; fortunately there was a tim
limit to this delay, but in XBoard it was 10 sec in stead of 10 msec.)
Now the calling of DisplayFatalError() (to show the result popup) is
delayed until after GameEnds completes (and resets the anti-recursion
flag 'endingGame'), so that it is simply executed a second time, unaware
of the earlier call. But this second time it does not do anything,
because the gameMode ws set to EndOfGame the first time, and the writing
of the PGN is blocked by the checksum being still the same.
H.G. Muller [Mon, 12 Jul 2010 09:10:17 +0000]
Fix WinBoard game-list title
Number of displayed games and WDL stats were always appended to the
existing title, leading to an ever-growing title in the game-list
window. Now the old actual title is ignored, and the starts is appended
to the original title "Game List". (In the future we could use the
filename here?)
In addition, the title was not updated when re-opening the game-list
window, while the stats could change if filtering was active when the
window was closed. (In that case the filter is cleared on re-opening, so
the number of displayed games changes.) Now a title-update (after
recalculating the stats) is done every time the game-list window is
opened.
H.G. Muller [Sun, 11 Jul 2010 09:06:27 +0000]
Refactoring of material-draws adjudication code
Insufficient mating material is now determined per side individually, by
testing for MatingPotential of each side. If both lack mating potential
the game is adjudicated as draw (if the -materialDraws option is set).
This way MatingPotential() can later also be used to correct losses by
forfeit to draws (which currently is only done when the opponent has a
bare King).
The accuracy of this type of adjudication in Xiangqi has been highly
improved.

Fix bug in sending cores command to engine
The cores command was alwas sent to the engine(s) when the user changed
it through the menu, even when the engine had sent feature smp=0 (which
is default anyway). NewSettingEvent() was patched to send the new
setting conditionally, based on the engine properties as recorded in
ChessProgramStates first, second; In this particular case it now
consults cps->maxCores. (Note the code for testing the second engine
contains some dirty pointer arithmetic.)

Fix parsing of SAN shogi promotions
A missing promotion character defaults to promotion in the move type,
but the promotion character was not set when this happened in variant
shogi. And it is especially important there, as the promotion character
'+' will always be missing, as the parser will take it to be a 'check'
symbol, and strip it from the move.
H.G. Muller [Mon, 5 Jul 2010 07:55:14 +0000]
Fix variant switch on PGN loading
When the PGN specified an essentially different variant, the
piece bitmaps were not properly adapted, because the switch was done by
calling InitPosition(), rather than Reset(). (The latter would destroy
the PGN tags info.) We now added an explicit call to ResetFrontEnd(),
(which is normally done from Reset()).

Adjudicate Xiangqi material draws with Advisor-less Cannons
Used the Queen counter for counting Cannons. Note that material draws

H.G. Muller [Mon, 5 Jul 2010 07:34:21 +0000]
Remove font settings from master settings file
xboard.conf should not contain general font settings (not specific to
one board size) with specified point size. In fact it should not even
specify sizable fonts, as the new system would make specification of a
general font overrule the size-specific settings in the .xboardrc file,
so the persistence of fonts would be completely broken.
H.G. Muller [Wed, 30 Jun 2010 08:52:27 +0000]
Cut board squares out of texture bitmap more cleverly
When the bitmap is larger than the entire board, the squares are now cut
out of the center of the virtual squares from subdividing the bitmap, so
that they stay centered on the grid of a Xiangqi board bitmap. If the
board size exceeds that of the bitmap, the old algorithm is still used,
as the centering would make the edge squares exceed the bitmap, and
cause a black rim around the board.
H.G. Muller [Wed, 30 Jun 2010 08:49:12 +0000]
Allow -flipBlack to work with font-based piece rendering
In addition the font-based pieces will also be flipped vertically in
flipView for variant shogi when -flipBlack is off.
H.G. Muller [Wed, 30 Jun 2010 08:46:43 +0000]
Allow font-based piece rendering in board sizes below petite
At least for variants that use unorthodox pieces, so that switching back
to using bitmaps is not really an option anyway.
H.G. Muller [Wed, 30 Jun 2010 08:41:25 +0000]
Ignore checks in 50-move count for Xiangqi
Both checks and evasions are discounted; this is only done after the
naive counting exceeds the maximum, so during most of the game it causes
no CPU load.

Fix game end during dragging
The stale-first-click fix interfered with proper handling of a piece
being dragged when a game suddenly ended (because of opponent resign,
or caling the flag), because up-clicks when the from-square was reset
were completely ignored. Now such an 'unmatched' upclick calls
DragPieceEnd() and redraws the board.

Pop down old tags on loadng new game in WinBoard
ResetFrontEnd(), called from Reset(), did not do this in WinBoard

Let move parser return ImpossibleMove for off-board moves

Alter XBoard key bindings to mimic WinBoard
A lot of new bindings were added, and four menuProcs had to be registered
to be able to add bindings to them. The use of the control key as
temporary take-back for the last move conflicted with the use of Ctrl
keystrokes, and this function was migrated to '.'. The iconify function
had no shortcut in WinBoard, but to get rid of letter bindings it was
migrated to '-'.

Fix info lines being used as normal thinking output
The new standard of using thinking output with time = nodes = score = 0

Suppress background observe for boards with own game number
This is really a work-around for an ICS bug. The Variant-ICS sent the
initial board of a game in a move list with relation = 0, which means
'observed'. So XBoard was thinking it was observing its own game, and
switched to dual board. It seems harmless to suppress such a switch for
all boards of your own game, however, which is now done.
H.G. Muller [Fri, 26 Mar 2010 20:12:19 +0000]
Fix crash on switching to ICS xiangqi game
The oldBoard was a local variable, and only squares of the old board

Allow loading of PGN variations in XBoard
Right-clicking variation comments in the comment-window was implemented
through a translation. The right button is now bound to routines that
set both the end and start of the selection, as setting a new start does
not seem to work if the previous select-start was not completed by a

Set keyboard focus at startup to board window
This makes XBoard sensitive to the keybindings also when the cursor is

Use side-by-side boards to display background game
A game observed in the background (i.e. if -backgroundObserve true) will

Very flakey hack, especially in XBoard, where clocks and messsage

Newly lexed parser in XBoard directory
H.G. Muller [Fri, 19 Feb 2010 10:18:21 +0000]
Let yy_text determine progress of PV parsing
The parsed unit yy_text was not available after ParseOneMove(), because
the buffer switch in yylexstr() apparently destroys it. To solve that,
yylexstr() now is equiped with an extra buffer argument, where it copies
yy_text before the switch, so the caller, ParsePV(), can see what was
parsed in yy_textstr. This is used to update the PV pointer, but also to
save any parsed comments (when ParsePV is used for parsing a PGN variation).
H.G. Muller [Thu, 18 Feb 2010 16:42:48 +0000]
Support playing through PGN variation comments
Right-clicking a variation line in the comment dialog will shelve the
current variation, and parse the comment to replace it. This uses
ParsePV() in an alternative way, for which the latter had to be
enhanced: it was made resistent to move numbers and comments inside
the PV. It now has an argument to indicate if such comments should be
stored with the moves. The Comment Popup is closed on revert, to
make sure no comments to moves that are destroyed, containing
variations on a non-valid line, can keep hanging around.

available from the command line, not only from the menus.

Let the sounds sound on receiving a message in a Chat Box
Use Colorize() to the applicable color to trigger the sound, and then
restore the original color as 'continuation', to do it silently.

Allow WB Chat Box to be dedicated to shouts and 'it'
By putting 'shouts' in the handle field, a chat window will capture all
shouts and c-shouts, and send messages typed into it as shouts.
The bracketing of the shouter name now indicates the type of shout.
The handle for WHISPER Chat Boxes has been changed to 'whispers', to
make it easier to pop them up by clicking the console.

Add -chatBoxes option to open Chat Boxes at startup
This string option contains a semicolon-separated list of handles for
which Chat Boxes should be opened at startup. The value saved in the ini
file is the value that was read, not the actual chat boxes that were
open at the time of saving.

Make Chat Windows pseudo-tabbed
By adding buttons in every Chat Box to navigate directly to every other
Chat Box, a stacked set of Chat Windows behaves like a single tabbed
window, but can still be unstacked. The buttons turn grey to warn that
new text appeared in hidden boxes (i.e. not the one last brought to top).

Allow arrow keys in WB Chat Box to access command history
The history is shared between al boxes and the ICS console.

Make WB Chat Boxes wrap and handle URLs
Cloned the code for the console text field to hande URL. (Initialization
to recogize the link, and notifiction to open it when clicked.)
Removed the ES_AUTOHSCROLL style from the RichEdit in the resource.

Fix copying of WB Chat Window contents
All line breks were lost on copy-pasting the contents of a chat window.
Adding CR to each outputted line in the front-end (wchat.c) solves this.
(Tell messages sent to a handle (which are not echoed by the ICS, and
thus have to copied to the chat box directly) also need CR!)

Add upload of game to ICS for examining
New item "Upload to Examin" in Action menu, calls UploadGameEvent().
Use SAN moves to upload game to ICS, rather than long algebraic
(The ICS did not understand long-algebraic promotion moves)
Use bsetup within examine to set position onFICS, and also variant.
Castling rights do not work yet for FRC. Totally different set of
commands are needed on FICS and ICC.
FICS does not understand w23 or wild/23, but needs 'crazyhouse' in the
besetup command that specifies the variant. XBoard variant names are
used, except for fischerandom, which is 'fr'. Things like nocastle will
probably still not work.

Handle display of PV that starts with other move than played
Insert the retraction of the played move, without premove highlighting.

Bugfix smart capture
Disambiguate was changed to make sure that for ambiguous moves, a
capture would always prevail in the closure, rather than the last move
that happened to be generated. Before, double-clicking a piece would
sometimes plsy a non-capture.

Fix XB crash on giving keyboard focus to non-text widget
In the Engine-Settings dialog SetFocus() could be called for non-text
widgets, and this made XawTextSetInsertionPoint() croak. Setting the
insertion point to the end in SetFocus() was a bad ide anyway, as it
interfered with copying from the engine-output window, which would
uncontrollably scroll on getting focus. It is solved now by setting the
insertion point already on creation of the text widgets.

Seek-Graph bugfix: disappearing output in ICS console
Suppression of output to the cosole was handled fundamentally wrong: it
was not enough to set next_out to after the unit that should be
suppressed, as there can be a backlog in printing of previous units that
came in the same packet. So this has to be flushed first, or it will be
lost. -autoKibitz probably got away with that, because it comes in a
separate packet. But seek ads are often suffixed to other output, and
then that output disappeared! Now we flush everywhere before suppressing.
We now totally rely on the prompt to restart the printing, so that
acknowledgements following the echo of the sent message are also
suppressed. Also suppress LF before diverted chat messages.
Also fixed is the 'mamer bug' in Chat Boxes, due to false parsing of
a "* (*): " pattern in tell messages, because of a missing continue.

Pop up ICS text menu with default item under mouse pointer
The menu popup is migrated to the down-click (was up-click), so the
up-click can select the item. Some trickery is needed to fool the menu
into thinking that the mouse moved, so that a moveless up-down click in
the ICS text field selects the default item (the upper-right one).
Also allow dummy item in ICS text menu: The command "none" in the ICS
text menu will now be treated as a grayed-out (disabled) entry, so it
can be defined in the position underthe mouse pointer to prevent the
up-click from doing anything, while keeping the menu open. Recommended
for use with an entry of spaces.
