Mon Nov 3 13:00:00 2014 arunAATTgmx.de
- xboard 4.8.0:
(see http://www.gnu.org/software/xboard/whats_new/4.8.0/ )
* New features in this release
* Resuming saved unfinished games
* Setting up positions more easily
* Bitbase adjudication
* Showing tablebase hits
* A new ICS window
* Recalling board themes (XBoard)
* Playing moves by clicking them
* Fonts in the XBoard GTK build
* Using the mousewheel (XBoard)
* Displaying a blunder graph
* Slicing up a PGN database
* Auto-install of engines
* New variant support
* ASEAN Chess
* Chu Shogi
* Mighty Lion
* Highlighting squares on engine command
* Let the engine finish a user move
* Non-standard variant names
* Fischer castling in any variant
* Knowing the moves of unknown pieces
* Fixed bugs
* Fix crash on using some Browse buttons in dialogs of the GTK
build.
* Fix buffer overflow in PGN parser, when all lines end in
comments.
* Fix crash on specifying non-existent board texture.
* Prevent crash on double-click in XB Game List Tags dialog.
* Fix the auto-display comment control in the General Options
dialog of WinBoard, which was ignored.
* Fix adjusting clocks by clicking them in Xaw build.
* Fix zooming of Evaluation Graph XB with mousewheel, which was
not working at all.
* Fix sticky-windows feature WB for Windows 8, where it did not
work at all.
* WinBoard\'s seek graph is now sized to also cover any board rim.
* Key bindings XB for non menu items are no longer ignored.
* Set castling rights correctly after loading of game file from
command line.
* Allow castling and e.p. moves to be edited into opening book
(and prevent their disappearance from it).
* The sorting of engine output was made more robust against
engines that send thinking output on fail lows.
* Fix node-count display, which was clipped to 32 bits.
* Suppress board-size oscillations in GTK build.
* Fixed detection of screen size in GTK. (This is a mixed
blessing, as now it picks the largest possible window size, and
in GTK interactive down-sizing is not possible.)
* Fix mode highlighting after refusal of Two Machines mode because
2nd engine did not support variant.
* Blow up textures that are too small.
* Ignore invalid color specs in stead of treating them as black
(important because Cairo does not understand old xpm color
names).
* Prevent XB and WB from becoming unresponsive during lengthy
tasks such as book building.
* Fix slowdown of WB during loading of huge PGN files due to
Game-List window update.
* Limit width of menu bar for small board sizes in GTK build.
* Improve the code to kill rogue engines in XB.
* Drawing of pieces outside the board (in maximaized windows),
which left lots of debris, is now suppressed.
* Make WB window sizing handle multiple screens.
* 50-move counter is no longer reset on Chess960 castlings.
* Fix legality testing of A-side castling in FRC (which was
allowed with Rook on a- and blocker on b-file).
* Fixed piece ID of Falcon in Falcon Chess, which was written as
\'.\' and could not be selected on promotion.
* Fix cross-edge e.p. captures in Cylinder Chess (which was not
recognized as e.p.).
* Fix animation of Seirawan Chess castling + gating at Rook
square, which made Rook disappear.
* Fix adjudication of stalemates in variant Giveaway.
* Display of the variant tag in the Game List now works.
* Reset move entry (clearing target-square markers) on \'clear
board\' in Edit Position mode.
* The Game List is automatically updated when you alter the tag
selection for the game lines.
* Indicate current variant in New Variant dialog of the GTK build
(by printing it in boldface on the button).
* Known Problems
* GTK: in a tiling window manager the size of the board seems to be
calculated incorrectly. A temporary fix for this is to use a fixed
size by using the \"-size
\" and \"-fixedSize true\" options
on the command line.
