On prep, via anonymous ftp, in gnuchess-4.0.pl56.tar.Z and xboard-2.0.pl22.tar.Z: Changes for GNU Chess: Sun Jul 2 Patchlevel 56 Henrik Schmiediche * Fix test command (patch to dspcom.c). The results were off by a factor of 100. * Delete lint from Makefile. * Better CFLAGS for HP machine. Changes for Xboard: Mon Jul 6 17:55:32 PDT 1992 (patchlevel 22) mann@src.dec.com - Added a small ESIX patch from Kayvan Sylvan. - Corrected clocks to work as in real tournaments. Time is *added* when you reach time control; previously the clocks were simply set to the length of the new time period. Also, when a player's flag falls, he still does not receive a new time allotment at the next time control, but his opponent does still receive more time if *his* flag has not fallen; previously, time controls were ignored for both players if either flag fell. I forget who reported this bug. - Despite one complaint, I kept the feature of changing both clocks when black makes time control, rather than changing each individually when the player involved makes it. This is to avoid having it look like White is way ahead on time while Black is thinking about the last move of the time control period (i.e., when White has made time control but Black hasn't yet). - Swapped EditPosition and Pause buttons to reduce danger of losing the game in progress by hitting EditPosition when you wanted Backward. Thanks to Ove Lundberg for complaining (though it bugged me too). - Added optional display of algebraic notation coordinates along left and bottom edges of board. This was inspired by some code from Jean-Christophe Engel; thanks! - Fixed a couple of problems compiling on IRIX; thanks to Michel Arsenault and Alan Walsh for bug reports and help with fixes. - After hitting the Backward button we see the last move made instead of the word "Pausing" displayed. - AIXV3 patch from Tom McConnell; thanks!
