H.G. Muller [Sun, 21 Jun 2009 19:10:31 +0000]
major overhaul of the -stickyWindows feature
I did a major overhaul of the -stickyWindows feature. The game-list and ICS-interaction windows are now also sticky. I also added a form of stickiness when the main window is resized; edges of auxiliary windows sticking to the right or bottom side of the main window stay attached when the window resizes (due to nr of board squares or their size). The way the window coordinates are saved in the .ini file is now relative to the main window, and some dummy options are added to be able to recognize right- and bottom-edge sticking, and reconstruct that when WB starts up with another board size. Also added are volatile options to ensure there will be space for auxiliary windows above and left of the main window.
H.G. Muller [Sun, 21 Jun 2009 19:07:01 +0000]
fixed long-algebraic form of drops
The WB parser turned out not to understand the long-algebraic form of drops send by an ICS. (like B/@@-e4), so even with legality testing off I now use the SAN move for drops.

Refined stalemate adjudication in Suicide, some cleanup
Refined stalemate adjudication in Suicide, which seems to be not always won
for the stalemated side, but for the side with the smallest number of pieces.
Cleaned up the adjudication code in the process. (backend.c moves.c, moves.h)
Also includes a tiny change in the -autoKibitz format, as requested on
Talkchess.

Enhancement of the way -autoLogo decides which logos to display
H.G. Muller [Tue, 16 Jun 2009 07:06:59 +0000]
bugfix and enhancement in autoKibitz mode
changed the format of the autoKibitz: score/depth in stead of depth/score, as in PGN. I also supress the ICS time for the move now in the PGN if extended info is available.
When enhancing the functionality of the autoKibitz command (using the
opponent engine kibitz for the saved PGN) I discovered that the xengineoutput.c
in our tree was obsolete, and contained a routine of which the arguments
were no
longer compatble with the call from backend.c, and caused segfaulting. I
copied in
the corresponding routine in wengineo.c, which was compatible. That the
compiler
did not flag this is a sign of badly organized code, I suppose...
The enhancement itself affected backend.c.
H.G. Muller [Tue, 16 Jun 2009 07:04:13 +0000]
modified clock layout
I altered the display of the clocks in the presence of engine logos; I used to
stack them, but some inquiry on Talkchess sowed that people disliked the
stacking. So now I display them next to each other again, but as 2-line-high
fields to make room for te logos.

new zippy option zippyShortGame

fixed some bugs in the animation of atomic captures
H.G. Muller [Sat, 13 Jun 2009 22:27:26 +0000]
some small bugfixes
I had overlooked one place from which the FEN writer (of whicf I changed the argument types), which made WB crash if you copied a FEN (or PGN that cotained FEN) to the clipboard. I must have overlooked a warning during compile, or some depedency is not correct in the makefile. Anyway, wclipboard.c had to be changed.
I also moved adjudication of some losing conditions to before tetsing for stalemate, (e.g. in atomic, if your king get destroyd you lose, even if you have no moves after that because it was your only piece.). this affects backend.c.
I had used the same bits in the frule-modifier flags for indicating mandatory capture as was already used for indicating FRC-style castling. This led to frequent illegal move calls in FRC... (moves.h)
Arun Persaud [Sat, 13 Jun 2009 17:45:17 +0000]

H.G. Muller [Sat, 13 Jun 2009 16:36:26 +0000]
added option for work-around for some FRC engines in regards to FRCFENs
It suddenly occurred to me that I had promised on CCC to include an option to provide a work-around for the problem that some FRC engines do not understand FRC FENs (and thus do not play at all under WinBoard, as FRC always has to begin with sending the initial position).
So I added the options -firstNeedsNoncompliantFEN, -secondNeedsNoncompliantFEN. This affects winboard.c and xboard.c, (for defining the option), common.h, backend.h, backend.c, (for implementing it), xboard.texi and winboard.rtf (decribing it). This option provides users with a means to always force the FEN castling field to KQkq (but can be used for many other work-arounds as well).
H.G. Muller [Sat, 13 Jun 2009 16:30:31 +0000]
fixed bug with random calls
There also seemed to be a bug with the shuffling of opening positions; I had changed the declaration of the position number from long long int to u64 to comply with MSVC, but this suppressed shuffling completely. I now changed it to int. I recently noted a problem with true randomizing anyway: this was based on srand(time()), but time() apparently did not change fast enough, so that starting several games in rapid succession (because the book line contained a 3-fold repetition) produced identical games. So I now seed the random once and for all during startup, based on the msec of the time mark, and removed the other calls to srand().

H.G. Muller [Thu, 11 Jun 2009 04:46:11 +0000]
fixed different use of engine option compared to Polyglot
it turns out the new Polyglot uses a sightly different version of the GUI->engine option command than the one I proposed (and implemented in XBoard; Michel sneaked in an '=' sign between the NAME and VALUE of the option, to allow for more unambiguous parsing.
I guess in principle this is a good idea, so I adapted XBoard to Polyglot rather than the other way around. The result is that there are canges in xboard.c, and the documentation.
I noticed that I unjustly had internationalized the option strings to be send to the engine in xoptions.c; this was of course nonsense, as this was WB protocol. So I undid that too.

automatically test ini file extension for files from commandline option @filename
The winboard.c is a patch that automatically tries indirection files on the
command line (@filename type arguments) also with an extension .ini if the name itself
did not match any existing file and contained no period. This saves the user typing the
.ini all the time (which I started to find pretty annoying while working on the installer
package).

H.G. Muller [Sat, 30 May 2009 01:56:06 +0000]
added the Action-menu items that allow the user to adjudicate ongoing games in Two-Machines mode.
This was an already existing backend function from Winboard_x; I only had to create a menu item for it to be called. Due to an oversight I had forgotten to do that so far. (Logically, I should have done it in the 4.3.5 release, where I updated the XBoard menus to conform to the WinBoard menus.)
I tested them, and they seem to work. (As expected.)

direction to suppress effects from accidential mouse movement.
H.G. Muller [Fri, 29 May 2009 05:11:11 +0000]
corrected 'animate dragging'
I finally figured out how the 'animate dragging' works in XBoard,
so that I could add code to do the unstacking of multiple pieces
in the holdings, rather than always leaving an empty square while
you drag them. (And then suddenly re-growing the remaining pieces
as you make the drop.) It does not look as fancy as in WinBoard
yet, because the counts still only decrease when you release the
piece, rather than when you lift it. But this is not nearly as
disturbing as leaving empty holdings (if only temporarily) when
you still have pieces there.
H.G. Muller [Fri, 29 May 2009 05:06:15 +0000]
Added comand-line options -debugFile (as synonym for -nameOfDebugFile, as

Merge commit 'v4.3.16'
merged changes from Alessandro Scotti and H.G. Muller back into the main line.
They changed quite a lot, so it's really more a merge of the changes from v2.4.7 to v2.4.8 into their code.

be released.
