There was a bug in WinBoard 3.2.pl0 that kept it from working as an ICS interface unless you were using /gateway or /telnet mode. (I am behind a firewall and can't get to the ICS without using one of those modes, so I didn't notice the bug before release.) jeff@econ.berkeley.edu's diagnosis of the bug is correct. I already uploaded 3.2.pl1 with a fix to this bug several days ago, but I didn't send out an announcement. Sorry. Here is the announcement: ** Announcing the release of WinBoard, version 3.2.pl1 ** WinBoard 3.2.pl1 is an update to WinBoard 3.2 that fixes a serious bug in ICS mode. WinBoard is available from the chess ftp server ics.onenet.net as file pub/chess/windows/winboard-3.2.pl1.tar.gz or winboard-3.2.pl1.zip (or initially in /pub/chess/windows/uploads/...). WinBoard is a graphical chessboard for Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 95 (Chicago). It can serve as a user interface for GNU Chess or for the Internet Chess Server (ICS). WinBoard can also be used by itself. It can read and write game files in PGN (portable game notation). Most of WinBoard's functions do *not* work on Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, or other DOS-based versions of Windows, not even with the Win32s package. (It works only as a standalone chessboard and PGN viewer/editor on the latter systems.) WinBoard runs with full functionality on Windows NT and Windows 95 (Chicago) beta 2. --Tim Mann <mann@pa.dec.com> ** Change highlights since WinBoard 3.2 ** * winboard.c: Fixed ConsoleInputThread(). Needed to change CRLF to LF, not to CR. This was stopping normal /ics mode from working. Thanks to Asher Kobin for the bug report. * winboard.c: Fixed Raw(), EchoOn(), EchoOff(). Now they take effect immediately, not on the next console read after the one in progress.
