This one wrote SAN for a pawn's captures in a way which - was incompatible with other programs. - -Knights 0.5 -- Monday December 17th, 2001 -Troy Corbin Jr. <[email protected]> - -* Changed version to 0.5 -- Some distros had a problem compiling 2 lines of the documentation. This - has been fixed. -- Fixed a bug where recieving a position for a game we don't know about caused - Knights to crash. -- Fixed a bug where Knights did not notify ICS when a game was closed. -- In ICS matches where the local player was black, the chessmen were displayed - on the wrong coordinates on the board, making the match unplayable. This has - been fixed. -- Incomming clock times from ICS matches where divided by 10, making a 2 minute - clock look like 12 seconds. This has been fixed. -* Buffered the output of the Sought Games List to help remove the - "flashing" effect. -- Fixed the ability to review games on an ICS. -* Added ability to read .pgn files that contain multiple matches. Knights will - display a summary of the matches in a new window, and you simply click ( or - double-click based on your global KDE settings ) on a match to review it. -- The Sought Games List required a double click to accept a match, regardless - of your global KDE preferences.

So, if you don't have any chess engines configured, you - can't play a vs. PC or PC vs PC game. Likewise for internet play and server - configuration. -* Added the Console... which handles sending and receiving messages via chess - server, and any other online transactions that don't occur Over the Board. -* Added "High Quality" mode, which displays a much smoother chessboard with - very little pixelation... even at the smallest board sizes. However, there - is a noticeable speed tradeoff. -* Added a 2Meg cache which greatly offsets much of the speed loss in High - Quality mode ( At least on my 600 it does ). Still not as fast as regular, - which should be fine for lower-end machines. -- Knights now displays an error message when you try playing with a bad book - engine configuration. -- Fixed bug where Knights couldn't read a move from a .pgn file if it was the - last token on the line. -* Knights will now read themes from two locations... The system-wide themes - directory ( usually /usr/share/apps/knights/themes ) and the media directory - so you can run Knights without installing it ( ../media ) -* Added the 'Ponder' option to the Opponent menu. -* Added the 'Show Last Move' option to the Settings menu. -* Added 'Pause/Resume' functions to the Game menu. -* Separated themes into two - a board theme and a chessman theme. -- Removed the Green Marble theme from the Knights distro. -* Created the ThemePack distro. All themes ( except default ) will go here. -- Fixed the 'Reverse Orientation' option... it now displays correctly. -* Extended Knights' document handling to act like you would expect it: It - remembers URLs ( to resave, or save a loaded game ), and prompts whenever - an unsaved game is about to be destroyed. -* Expanded .pgn support to include multiple games per file and propper - parsing of comments. -* Added application/pgn mimetype -* Knights now connects to FICS and will play chess there. -* Added ALT-R to reply to the last private tell you recieved. -* Added ALT-C to chat on the last channel you recieved a message on. -* Knights now supports multiple matches at once. -* Knights will now default Pawn Promotions to Queen if the user does not - select one. -* Added ability to Retract or Undo a move while playing against an engine. -* Added a "Install Themes" function in the Settings. -* Added ability to modify the key bindings. -* Added a setup wizard to get new users up and running faster. -* Too many minor changes to document. - -Knights 0.4.6 -- Wednesday August 15th, 2001 -Troy Corbin Jr. <[email protected]> - -- Changed version to 0.4.6 -* Added en passant moves. -* Added rules for 50 move rule. -* Added rules for forced draws. ( 10.3 & 10.4 of F.I.D.E. Laws of Chess ) -* Knights now sends time & otim to engines that want it. -- Fixed bug where Knights interpreted messages during a game into feature - commands. This occurred while playing Crafty. It sent "time control" during a - match, which Knights interpreted as "feature time=0" due to the way Knights - parses engine data as space separated tokens. A Timer was added to engineio - which keeps any feature commands from comming through after an initial two - seconds. This will probably become a problem again, however, and I should - look into making Knights read engine data as full lines rather than space - separated tokens. -- Fixed bug where internal records, and therefore PGN output, did not reflect - engine names properly when the feature myname was used. Now internal - records are not initiated until after the engines have initiated. -- Fixed bug where the last move of a game could result in an Illegal Move - error being printed on the status bar. -* Knights now recognizes all PGN Tags. -* Loaded games will now be displayed as it loads. -* Added command line option -d <path> for specifying Knights' data directory -- Fixed bug where the king could castle even after he moved -- v 0.4.5 broke the Promotion Selection Dialog. It is now fixed. -* Selecting previous moves from the notation combobox will let you review - the game. If someone makes a move while you're reviewing, you are returned - to the current position. -* The up and down arrow keys will cycle you through your game's history. -- You should now be able to continue a game if the engine thinks you've made - an illegal move. -* Added "Force Move" command to force a computer opponent to make a move. -* Added "Offer Draw" command to offer a draw to your opponent. -* Experimental support for Book Engines -- Fixed FEATURE delay for XBoard compatible engines -- Fixed a bug where new installs had to create two engines and switch them once - before any engines would load. -* Added "Reverse Board Orientation" option which, well, reverses the board's - orientation. =) -* Added first draft of documentation. -- Fixed minor bug in XBoard protocol's alternative move command -- Fixed other minor XBoard compliance issues -- Confirmed that KnightCap works with Knights -- Confirmed that Sjeng works with Knights -- Consolidated entries for GNUChess v4, XBoard v1, XBoard v2, and XBoard v3 - protocols into XBoard -* Engine configurator now sorts the engine list -- Other minor tweaks that I can't remember - -Knights 0.4.5 -- Sunday July 29th, 2001 -Troy Corbin Jr. <[email protected]> - -* Re-rendered graphics -* graphics are scalable... 14 different board sizes per theme -* Themes now stored in tarballs -* Knights recognizes and accepts most XBoard version 2 Features -* Crafty v18.9 is confirmed to work! - -Knights 0.4.4 -- Friday July 20th, 2001 -Troy Corbin Jr. <[email protected]> - -* enabled engine setup from Settings -* enabled engine vs. engine games -* Knights now recognizes true time control periods -* enabled playing as the black army -* added work on supporting book engines -* minor changes to the main interface - -Knights 0.4.2 -- Tuesday July 17th, 2001 -Troy Corbin Jr. <[email protected]> - -* Initial public offering via CVS - - |
