polyglot (1.4.39b) unstable; urgency=low * Refactoring of config file parsing * Fix crash bug in epd-test * Do not export Chess960. This is handled completely internally. * Do not export UCI_Opponent and UCI_Chess960. These are handled internally. * PG can now also be comfortably configured through command line options (i.e. without using a config file). * Allow quotes in configfile (as in Fonzy Bleumer's PG). -- Michel Van den Bergh Sun, 23 Aug 2009 21:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4.37b) unstable; urgency=low * Two new options: BookDepth and BookTreshold. BookDepth limits the number of moves the book is used and BookTreshold sets the minimum weight a book move should have. -- Michel Van den Bergh Fri, 12 Aug 2009 21:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4.36b) unstable; urgency=low * Bugfix: option = 0/1 was translated incorrectly. * EOF received from the engine should now be logged correctly (i.e. after the buffer is empty) * Bugfix: Nasty buffer overflow in the macro CONSTRUCT_ARG_STRING. * Bugfix: pipex_writeln (win32) was logging at the wrong spot. * Log board when an illegal move is received. -- Michel Van den Bergh Tue, 11 Aug 2009 21:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4.35b) unstable; urgency=low * New WbWorkAround for silly bug in WB. Depth <=1 clears the engine output window. Why shouldn't an engine be allowed to send info at depth one? -- Michel Van den Bergh Thu, 7 Aug 2009 20:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4.34b) unstable; urgency=low * Allow spaces around "=" in "option =" commands. * WbWorkArounds is now true by default. * Trying to set a non existent UCI option gives an error. * PG will now resign in case of an illegal engine move. * More code has been moved into the I/O abstraction layer pipex. This has reduced to win32 dependence of utils.c * info strings and unrecognized info lines are relayed to the GUI. -- Michel Van den Bergh Thu, 6 Aug 2009 20:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4.33b) unstable; urgency=low * New option: "WbWorkArounds". Currently it blocks options which contain "Draw" in their name from being sent to the GUI. Engines that have such options are Rybka and HIARCS. * Bugfix for ASSERT failure in bright. Now another ASSERT failure has appeared which seems to be bright's fault however. -- Michel Van den Bergh Thu, 6 Aug 2009 20:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4.32b) unstable; urgency=low * Bugfix: the default setting for RepeatPV had become false again... -- Michel Van den Bergh Tue, 4 Aug 2009 14:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4.31b) unstable; urgency=low * Bugfix: improper handling of vararg function. -- Michel Van den Bergh Sun, 2 Aug 2009 11:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4.30b) unstable; urgency=low * Some more meaningful error messages added. * Some buffer overflow checks added. * Simplification of strange signal kludge in gui.c. * Removal of obsolete code in engine.c and gui.c. Platform specific code has been abstracted and pushed into pipex_win32.c and pipex_posix.c * The format of the version number has changed once again. Debian was unhappy with the previous one. -- Michel Van den Bergh Sun, 2 Aug 2009 16:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4b29) unstable; urgency=low * Conversion from C++ to C (suggested by E.M.). * More refactoring. The win32 and posix I/O have now a uniform interface (see pipex.h). -- Michel Van den Bergh Fri, 31 Jul 2009 10:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4b28) unstable; urgency=low * Some comments added to explain the exact behaviour of some of the public functions in pipe.cpp. * LineInput now returns a bool which is FALSE in case of EOF. -- Michel Van den Bergh Fri, 31 Jul 2009 10:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4b27) unstable; urgency=low * Option "ScoreWhite" : report score from white's point of view (suggested by E.M.). * Option "KibitzInterval" : try to wait this many seconds between kibitzes (suggested by E.M.). -- Michel Van den Bergh Sun, 26 Jul 2009 10:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4b26) unstable; urgency=low * Contraction of version number. * Log if SetProcessAffinityMask is not available (suggested by E.M.). * pipe.cpp : Make PipeStruct a proper class with private/public members. * Check for EOF in GUI input. * pipe.cpp : delay reporting EOF until buffer is empty. * Messages from the Engine to PG were not logged in the windows version. -- Michel Van den Bergh Sat, 25 Jul 2009 10:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4w10UCIb24) unstable; urgency=low * Portability fixes for WIN9X (Eric Mullins). * Portability fixes for MSVC++ (Eric Mullins). * Default setting of RepeatPV is now true. * Do not read data if input buffer is full (windows). -- Michel Van den Bergh Mon, 20 Jul 2009 21:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4w10UCIb22) unstable; urgency=low * Polyglot is now completely poll free... -- Michel Van den Bergh Sat, 18 Jan 2009 21:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4w10UCIb21) unstable; urgency=low * Crash bug in memory command fixed * Small optimizations -- Michel Van den Bergh Sat, 18 Jan 2009 21:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4w10UCIb20) unstable; urgency=low * More refactoring. * No more polling for GUI input -- Michel Van den Bergh Wed, 28 Jan 2009 21:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4w10UCIb18) unstable; urgency=low * Two new utilities: info-book and dump-book. -- Michel Van den Bergh Sat, 15 Jan 2009 21:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4w10UCIb17) unstable; urgency=low * More refactoring. main.cpp is now #ifdef _WIN32 free. * The main loop (previously in adapter.cpp) is now in its own file mainloop.cpp. * adapter.cpp has been renamed into xboard2uci.cpp. It is #ifdef _WIN32 free. * EOF from the engine no longer kills PG. It should now be possible to close an engine and reopen another one (if that ever were useful) -- Michel Van den Bergh Sat, 14 Jan 2009 21:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4w10UCIb16) unstable; urgency=low * xboard option commands * correction of handling of combo boxes in UCI protocol * "gui-mode". It is now possible to run PG without config file * The polyglot options are not exported, so they are now settable by the GUI -- Michel Van den Bergh Sat, 12 Jan 2009 21:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4w10UCIb15) unstable; urgency=low * bugfix : due to refactoring time stamps in Windows would be written twice. This has been fixed. * More refactoring; the number of #ifdef _WIN32's has again been drastically reduced. -- Michel Van den Bergh Sat, 10 Jan 2009 20:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4w10UCIb14) unstable; urgency=low * option to alter priority now also works on windows (Eric Mullins) * refactoring so that posix and win32 part share more code * a number of potential busy loop scenarios have been eliminated in the Windows code (Windows uses polling) * the return value of CreateProcess is now checked -- Michel Van den Bergh Fri, 09 Jan 2009 20:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4w10UCIb13) unstable; urgency=low * Perft mode exposed. -- Michel Van den Bergh Thu, 06 Jan 2009 20:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4w10UCIb12) unstable; urgency=low * Replaced %lld everywhere by S64_FORMAT. -- Michel Van den Bergh Thu, 06 Jan 2009 18:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4w10UCIb11) unstable; urgency=low * Crash bug fix (wrong parentheses in instruction that checked for help option) -- Michel Van den Bergh Thu, 05 Jan 2009 18:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4w10UCIb10) unstable; urgency=low * Trivial bug fixes * It is now possible to do "make rpm" to make an rpm binary package. * Documentation added for epd-test functionality (man page). * Cosmetic cleanups of output of epd-test. * "polyglot --help" output added. * Added polyglot book format specification to distribution. -- Michel Van den Bergh Thu, 02 Jan 2009 18:00:00 +0100 polyglot (1.4w10UCIb9) unstable; urgency=low * Trivial cosmetic fixes * Some engines do not support the Hash option. So we don't send memory=1 in that case. -- Michel Van den Bergh Thu, 02 Jan 2009 15:15:15 +0100 polyglot (1.4w10UCIb8) unstable; urgency=low * Support for egtpath command in xboard protocol -- Michel Van den Bergh Fri, 02 Jan 2009 11:10:23 +0100 polyglot (1.4w10UCIb7) unstable; urgency=low * Initial Release. -- Michel Van den Bergh Thu, 01 Jan 2009 21:32:12 +0100
