+Add persistent Boolean option -fixedSize
+
+When set, this option suppresses sizing of the board and clocks when
+the window is sized by the user. This is achieved by wrapping the entire

+Also do dual-royal test in variant shogi

+Fix promotion in Betza move generator
+
+The Betza move generator was geenrating allmoves as NormalMove, but in
+that case XBoard would not allow the move to have a promotion suffix.
+Now Pawns and Lances reaching last rank will be assumed to promote.

+Attempt to make GTK sizing work with tiling WM
+
+The Rezise routine now takes the size of the entire dialog table
+(for me always equal to the outer-window size), and checks if the
+actual outer window is smaller. If it is, it shrinks the board to fit,
+under the assumption that a tiling window manager offers only a limited
+'viewport' to our dialog, and we want everything to be visible inside that.

+Fix -xbuttons window width GTK
+
+Because Label options not followed by a SAME_ROW element were only
+packed into the first two columns of the dialog table, the board window
+reserved space for a third column behind the message window if there

+Prevent unknown variant getting button in -ncp mode
+
+Normally we fake the engines play the requested variant, for the benefit
+of engines that do not send a variants feature (e.g. v1 engines). But this
+should not be done if there is no engine, as it would lead XBoard to
+believe an unknown variant name is an engine-defined variant supported
+by a currently loaded engine, and create a button for it in the New Variant
+dialog.

+Fix variant-name recognition
+
+StringToVariant did recognize whether the name to recognize had suffuxes
+compared to the tabulated name, but not if it had prefixes. So 'shoshogi'
+would be recognized as 'shogi'.

+Ignore first configure event
+
+The first configure event will be the one that adds the window decorations
+to the board window, and must not be used to calculate a new square size,
+but to expand the outer window instead.

+Fix loading of engine-defined PGN games
+
+Somehow there could be disagreement over what the official opening
+position of an engine-defined variant was during loading of the game.
+It then refused Betza-defined castling, which tests the corner pieces
+based on this initial position. We now assume the FEN tag, which such
+a PGN game will always contain, holds the official opening position,
+so that castling will always be assumed possible (if there is a corner
+piece).
+
+2014-10-16 20:29:27 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Preserve parent variant for PGN of engine-defined game
+
+Rather than decoding an unknown variant name, (which will result in
+'normal'), we keep the currently set (parent) variant when an
+engine-defined variant is currently set that matches the name in
+the PGN variant tag of the loaded game.
+
+2014-10-16 17:54:13 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Fix some uninitialized variable bugs
+
+The writing of Seirawan castling rights in FEN was still dependent on a

+could have created the misconception the memory was full.

+
+
+2014-10-15 23:48:14 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Don't switch to engine-defined variant on game loading
+
+When loading a game from PGN the variant tag will have been decoded as
+'normal' in case of an engine-defined variant, and we certainly would
+not want to switch to that. Better stay in the variant the user had
+selected before, and hope for the best.
+
+2014-10-15 21:50:44 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Implement displaying of variant tag in Game List
+
+The variant tag was displayed as an empty string in game-header lines.
+Processing it during PGN load was not able to handle engine-defined
+variants anyway; they were recognized as 'normal'. A new field in the
+GameInfo struct now holds variantName in text form, and this is the
+primary place from which it is displayed in the Game List.
+
+2014-10-15 21:06:53 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Update Game List when setting new Game List Tags
+
+Using the Game List Tags dialog to alter the gae header lines now
+automatically causes an update of the Game list according to the new
+tags specification.

+2014-10-15 20:26:31 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Reset move entry on Clear Board
+
+The board markers would stay on when the board was cleared, and a
+no-longer-present piece would stay selected, leading to deletion of the
+first piece that you tried to select.
+
+2014-10-14 09:38:05 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Split Tournament dialog in side-by-side panes
+
+This seems to cure a sickness in some Xaw versions, which refused
+to display text in the text widgets, or make them sensitive for mouse
+clicks if the last three buttons were added. It also helps keeping
+the 'OK' button on-screen in the GTK version.
+
+2014-10-12 19:43:24 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Remember position obtained from setup
+
+When the engine sends a setup command, it should be remembered as
+initialPosition, in order for the castling 'rook' test of the Betza
+move generator to work.
+
+2014-09-13 12:35:12 -0700 Joshua Pettus <jshpettus@gmail.com>:
+Add build script to configure for a XBoard.app for OS X

+Fix logos Xaw
+
+The patch for logo standard left a typo and an excess line in the Xaw
+version. This is fixed, and also implements the user-logo cascade for
+the Xaw version.
+
+2014-10-11 19:26:23 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Try also /home/<user>/.logo.pgn for user logo
+
+The user logo now also has a cascade, first looking in the user's home
+folder for a file .logo.png, and then in the -logoDir for <user>.png.

+
+
+2014-10-10 18:14:09 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Show current variant on New Variant buttons GTK in bold
+
+If an engine-defined variant is selected, we compare its name to the
+inscription on the button, otherwise we compare the variant numbers.
+(Test to trigger this is a bit awkward, to not inadvertantly apply it
+to the ICS Text Menu, which also has colored buttoms.)

+An third column is added to the New Variant dialog when necessary.
+
+2014-10-09 23:25:26 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Force GTK logo size to quarter board width
+
+This is what GTK will do anyway, because clocks and logos are in a hbox
+that equally divides space, so telling XBoard different just misinforms it.
+
+2014-10-09 17:08:45 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Replace default Shogi pieces
+
+The SVG Shogi pieces are replaced by a new set, made by Joshua Pettus.
+This set also contains and Elephant and Crown Prince.
+
+2014-10-09 09:35:33 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Implement new logo standard
+
+XBoard now looks in the system directories for plugin logos,
+/usr/(local/)share/games/plugins/logos, according to the cascade
+-logoDir, engine dir (-fd,-sd), /usr/local/..., /usr/...

+
+
+2014-10-08 21:56:28 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Fix check test with multi-leg moves
+
+The check test after a multi-leg move was still using the same kill
+square in the opponent's reply, making it blind to King captures in
+a second leg. So far we got away with that because the Shogi multi-leg
+pieces also can reach all their potential victims in a single step,
+but with engine-defined multi-leg moves there is no guarantee this
+will always be the case.
+
+2014-10-08 21:55:17 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Fix infinite loop in cylinder moves
+
+
+2014-10-07 19:13:54 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Let t on final leg in Betza notation forbid checking
+
+To allow approximate definition of pieces that are too difficult to
+describe exactly, we can revoke their capture rights on Kings,
+to prevent imagined moves that happen to threaten a King forces the
+opponent to evade this imagined check, making most of his moves illegal.
+Then the piece can be safely replaced by an upward-compatible one,
+leaving rejection of the extra moves to the engine.
+
+2014-10-07 18:56:59 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Implement Betza hr and hr as chiral move sets
+
+To easily separate right- and left-handed moves on oblique atoms
+(which needs opposite use of l and r in their multi-leg continuations),
+the direction sets hr and hl are added.
+
+2014-10-07 08:20:06 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Preserve other Betza mode bits on setting default modality
+
+
+2014-10-06 20:20:00 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Switch to new Betza orth-diag conversion standard
+
+The interconversion from orthogonal to diagonal atoms is now possible
+for any 4-way atom, based on specification of an 'in-between' direction,
+irrespective of modality. Also take backward out of default continuation
+direction-set.
+
+2014-10-03 10:31:47 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Implement Betza t modifier for hop-own
+
+The 't' modifier will restrict any form of hopping as specified by
+p or g modifiers to friendly pieces. This only works on non-final legs.
+
+2014-10-02 19:32:45 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Implement directional modifiers on KQ, and let y&g upgrade
+
+The Betza y and g modifiers now not only change range, but also upgrade
+the directional capabilities of the atom to full non-degenerate 8-fold.
+Directional modifiers can now be used in that symmetry too, to maximally
+exploit this, and implement 4-fold pieces that make 45-degree turns.
+Let oblique continuation legs also use the non-degenerate system.
+
+2014-10-02 15:19:09 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Implement Betza y modifier
+
+The non-standard modifier 'y' is the spontaneous counterpart of 'g',
+changing the range of the atom, and upgrading its directionality.
+
+2014-10-02 10:21:43 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Implement Betza g modifier for non-final legs
+
+The g modifier is implemented as a p that turns a rider into the
+corresponding leaper when it hops, and vice versa. This is done by
+stripping off any existing range indicator, and making the range
+infinite by suffixing '0' when the old range was 1 (whether implied
+or explicitly written). Except that for sliders/steppers this is done
+by atom-name conversion after stripping off the range. Limited range
+thus in general turns into leaper (D -> D0, Dn -> D), but with FWK
+W3 -> R and R3 -> W, etc.
+
+2014-10-01 15:32:14 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Implement Betza a modifier
+
+This is pretty complex, and might overload the current primitive two-leg
+legality testing when pieces are defined that can reach squares only in
+two legs.
+
+2014-10-01 09:28:32 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Implement Betza j on W,F as skip first square
+
+
+2014-10-04 21:56:14 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Always accept piece commands for Falcon and Cobra
+
+The wild-card pieces Falcon and Cobra do not have any moves assigned to
+them, and XBoard would accept any move for them even when legality
+checking is on. So for these pieces it is always better to trust the
+engine's piece definition.
+
+2014-10-04 21:52:51 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Fix pieceToCharTable of Falcon Chess
+
+This variant was using the Falcon piece, but defining ID F for the
+unused Lance instead.
+
+2014-10-04 19:59:13 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Don't preserve setup position on board-size change
+
+Normally the setup command sent by an engine is ignored if the user
+already has set up a position, to not render it impossible to do the
+latter. But if the setup command orders a different board size nothing
+the user has set up can possibly remain valid.
+
+2014-10-04 19:39:06 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Reset move entry on stepping through game
+
+A forward or backward step through the game after selecting a from-square
+did not erase the latter, so that it became impossible to select a
+from-square for an opponent move, as it would be interpreted as the
+to-square for the patially entered move. This was especially annoying
+with legality testing off, as the legality test there, based on the
+square markings, does not reset the entry state either, but waits
+until you do click a legal to-square, so that you had to attempt
+moving with pieces of the side not to move to get out of this state.
+Now stepping through another position will reset the move-entry state
+completely, always considering the first click a from-square selection.
+
+2014-10-07 20:55:00 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Fix engine-defined variant as startup
+
+Non-standard names were all recognized as 'normal' in InitBackend1().
+Now if the -variant argument was not "normal", it is assumed to be an
+engine-defined variant if we run with engine.
+

+Configure XBoard for -size 49 in master settings
+
+Now the code for auto-sizing works, it turns out this does more harm than

+So we configure a hard -size 49 for a cold startup.

+Rename PGN Pieces tag to VariantMen
+
+Following a suggestion from Steven Edwards, this indeed makes a much

+Suppress use of promo-Gold bitmaps in Tori Shogi (WB)
+
+In Tori Shogi the Swallow Pawn does not promote to Tokin, so the use

+Prevent board-size oscillations
+
+It could happen that after resize there was room for enlarging the
+squares by one pixel, but that this crossed the boundary where the line
+gaps also become wider, and there is no room for making both squares
+and line gap. This would cause perpetual oscillations of the window size.
+Resizing is now suppressed when a 1-pixel square-size increase would also
+result in a line-gap increase.
+
+2014-09-28 10:09:17 +0200 H.G.Muller <hgm@hgm-xboard.(none)>:
+Allow use of second-row pieces for non-promoted in drop games
+
+Second-row pieces were automatically demoted on capture, but this
+should really happen only when the piece-to-char table says it is a
+shogi-promoted piece (assigned a '+' there). Pieces assigned a letter
+should really stay themselves.

+an engine does not support variant normal and needs a different board format
+takes so long that the finale size expose occurs after the DragProc timeout.

+Add context menu to ICS console XB-GTK
+
+A right-click handler is added to the output memos of the ICS Interaction
+window. It pops up the ICS text menu. It is remembered whether the menu
+was already up; if not, it will be popped down after a command is selected
+from it. Like the WinBoard context menu, the commands will be able to use
+the clicked word.
+The -icsMenu 'command' $chat is now recognized as a special case, not to
+be sent to the ICS, but executed by XBoard. It will assign one of the
+five chats to the clicked name. If no empty chat is available, the last
+chat will be used (but not cleared).
+ The -icsMenu in the master config file is now configured to contain
+this command, but unfortunately this will not become effective for users
+that already have a settings file.
+The Text Menu now puts $input commands in ICS Console Input field when the
+ICS Input Box is not up.
+ The text placed in the input field for completion (as per $input directive)
+turned out to be selected in GTK, so that when you stated typing, it was
+erased again!
+ By making the Text menu dialog subject to WindowPlacement control,
+and interrogating the poition of the ICS Console window, the Text Menu
+can be popped up such that the mouse pointer is on the bottom-left button.

+Integrate ICS output into Chat Window
+
+An extra pane has been added to the Chat Window to display the ICS output.
+In GTK this output is colorized just as in the xterm. For Xaw this is not
+possible. This pane is always visible, and the chat output can be hidden,
+to double its size. Entered input will go to the selected chat (when not
+hidden) as a tell or shout, or to the ICS as a command. The Chat-Partner
+field is hidden together with the chat pane and the Hide button. Each of
+the five chats now has a dedicated button; for unused chats (empty Chat-
+Partner field) these now gets the text 'New Chat' inscribed on it.
+Focussing is made more intelligent (to the Partner field when shown and
+empty, otherwise to the input field).
+The Up and Down arrows now work in the input field to recall old input.
+ ScrollToCursor() was broken in GTK, because a mark was made for only
+a single buffer. Now each buffer has its own end mark.
+ Another problem was that using ScrollToCursow immediately after a memo
+was shrunk (because a neighboring one expanded) it would still use the
+old memo size, so that the bottom part remained out of view. Delaying it
+50 ms solved that problem.
+ A new option -icsUp was added to store the visibility in the settings.
+It is updated only in ICS mode. The ICS Console pops up automatically
+when the stored parameters say so. It is also made sticky.
+ Unlike the xterm the textView does not extend background color to unwritten
+positions behind the line. A separate GTK call is now added to set the
+unwritten part to the same color as the background in normal text.
+ A control was added in the ICS Options dialog for setting the colors
+of normal text (-colorNormal).

+chosen from the holdings. (From which it will be removed.) Intended
+for use in symmetric black/white pairs; when used on asymetric locations
+or with non-identical holdings the results will be undefined.

+Fix Seirawan reverse-castling animation
+
+In Chess960 animation of castlings is suppressed, because the move is encoded
+as KxR, so that the to-square in general is not the final destination of the
+King. So it is just confusing to the eye to see the King slide to the Rook,
+and then jump to an entirely different square. In S-Chess castlings can
+similarly be encoded as RxK (to indicate gating at the Rook square), and
+animation of those moves should be suppressed for the same reason. But it
+wasn't, and in Fischer castlings denoted as RxK this even caused the Rook
+to disappear when it didn't need to moved.
+ Perhaps one day a smart method of animating Fischer castlings can be
+designed. (E.g. remove Rook, animate King move to true to-square, place Rook?
+But what if the King doesn't move at all? Animate Rook then? Normal castlings
+now animate the King, and then just displace the Rook.)
+
+2014-02-02 10:22:25 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Make Fischer castling generally available
+
+A new volatile option -fischerCastlings allows every variant to be played
+with Fischer castling, which so far was only allowed in variants FRC/CRC.
+This only makes sense in shuffle variants, where King and Rooks might not
+be in their orthodox locations. But even when they are, it has consequences
+for the user interface, which will require dragging King on Rook as the only
+way to enter castling. Like -shuffleOpenings the setting will be cleared
+as soon as you switch variant (unless you switch to FRC/CRC, where they
+Fischer castling is on by default). It can be set from the New Shuffle dialog.

+Implement extended thinking output
+
+The PV field can now start with three quantities, selective depth,

+A new persistent Boolean option -memoHeaders enables a new feature:

+2014-01-13 17:32:28 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix Tournament Options dialog
+
+Deleting a Label option had renumbered the remaining Options, breaking
+the dialog and causing a crash when an engine was selected. A considyency
+check is now added to catch this condition, and throw an error popup
+when we mess up again.
+
+2014-01-13 17:09:01 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Allow popup of TC and Common Engine from Tournament dialog
+
+A new dialog class MasterDlg was added, similar to TransientDlg,
+but to allow two dialogs to be up simultaneously. The Tournament Options
+dialog was migrated to this class, so it can now get buttons to pop up
+the Time Control and Common Engine dialog, like WinBoard. It even has
+a button for the General options dialog.
+Special care had to be taken to prevent popdown of the MasterDlg when
+a Transient child is still up (similar to browser or error childs).

+2014-01-13 16:21:59 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Add --show-config special option

+can be used in install scripts of packages with piece images.

+Overhaul kill code
+
+Engines were not always forcefully killed in XBoard, which could make
+the tournament manager hang when an engine became unresponsive to "quit".
+The various levels of killing are now revised, and the -delayAfterQuit
+is absorbed in DestroyChildProcess(). There is a hard killing mode 9,
+which immediately sends SIGKILL, intended for engines that have already
+proven to malfunction or could not start at all. In other cases SIGTERM
+is sent according to specs, but a SIGKILL is scheduled -delayAfterQuit + 1
+sec later just in case the SIGTERM would be ignored.
+
+2014-01-13 13:38:47 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix name of master settings file in OS X
+
+The name needs to be relative to the bundle path, but ~~ expansion
+did not work for compiled-in defaults, as the expansion takes place
+when parsing an option. The dataDir is now also kept in an array rather
+than as a pointer, to allow it to appear in statically initialized tables.

+Use __APPLE__ compile switch for OS X
+
+It seems that on Apple machines the compiler will always define the
+symbol __APPLE__, so this is now used instead of OSX, which had to
+be defined with a -DOSX compiler flag. The gtkmacintegration header
+is now using <> in stead of "" in its #include. (Strange enough both
+were working.)

+2014-01-04 12:18:30 +0100 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Expand ~~/ to bundle path (OSX)

+
+The use of strndup was actually unsafe, as the length was passed using

+replaced by an ordinary strdup, which should be save enough.

+Put some OSX code into gtk version
+
+Under control of #ifdef OSX code is added to integrate the GTK front-end

+another instance was requested. Som files are renamed to conform to the
+file tree of the OS X App package.

+Cure weirdness when dragging outside of board
+
+Dragging outside the board (when people maximized the window) did not
+properly restore background, (leaving a trail of dragged piece). Filling

+2013-08-30 17:33:59 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix buffer overflow in parser
+
+When a line ended with a comment, the parser had to read a line ahead
+to check if there was a PGNresult following, without being able to
+throw away the previous line yet. This could lead to buffer overflow
+in a long game where every line ended in a comment. The buffer now is
+cleansed of already parsed data when starting on a new syntactical unit.
+
+2013-08-27 22:55:52 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix -zippyVariants option
+
+Due to the change of cps->variants from (char []) to (char *), copying
+zippyVariants to it on behalf of v1 engines would no longer work. This
+is fixed by using ASSIGN() in stead of safeStrCpy().
+
+2013-08-26 18:25:55 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix initial board sizing WB
+
+The initial board size was based on the assumption the board would be 8x8.
+This could push auxiliary windows off screen if the board was smaller,
+after which EnsureOnScreen would undock them and park them in the upper-
+right corner before the board assumed its true size. InitPos() is now called
+before the initial sizing to et the board format correctly, InitDrawingSizes()
+had to be made resitant to calling before a board size was picked for this
+(because InitPos() might call that too).
+ ActivateTheme() now uses the new board size, not the previous one (as was
+indicated by size -2), so that -boardSize specifications inside a theme
+will take effect.
+ Board size petite should not be forbidden for Shogi; all pieces exist there.
+
+2013-08-26 14:40:57 +0200 H.G. Muller <h.g.muller@hccnet.nl>:
+Fix grabbing of selected piece
+
+A second static click on a selected piece should deselect it, but an attempt
+to drag an already selected piece should not 'bounce off'. It was already
+possible to move a selected piece to another square, but the dragging was
+not animated. This is now fixed, by only skipping the code to start dragging
+when the second click is part of the only-move double-click for only capture.
+(Before it was skipped on any second click.)
