A new patchlevel of XBoard has been released. As usual, you can ftp it from prep.ai.mit.edu, and probably from other GNU ftp sites soon. This patchlevel contains support for "wild" games on the Internet Chess Server, plus a few bug fixes. This is something of an emergency release, so it does not include a few fixes and enhancements users have sent me recently. Those will show up in XBoard 3.0. --Tim Complete ChangeLog since patchlevel 9: 2.1, patchlevel 10 -- Mon Feb 15 10:19:31 PST 1993 -- mann@src.dec.com - Added telnetProgram resource in case "telnet" is not the name of the telnet program. - Bug fix: entering EditPosition mode with black to play highlighted White's clock instead of Black's. - Fix to error handling in ReceiveFromProgram. - Bug fix in disambiguating pawn moves like "ed". - Avoid trying to select on a pipe when using System V. Needed to copy some code from InitChessProgram() up into establish(). 2.1, patchlevel 11 -- Sat Jun 5 00:01:01 PDT 1993 -- mann@src.dec.com - memcpy call had arguments in wrong order. - Added code to deal with "wild" games on ICS. This includes allowing castling with the king on d1 or d8, which is allowed in wild(1) games if the king started there. Notation is o-o to castle "short"---to whichever side the king is closer to---and o-o-o to castle "long." Right now wild castling is always allowed by xboard; we rely on ICS or gnuchess to reject it when we aren't really in wild mode.
