Subject: Scatha 0.2.4 for Mac OS X 10.4.1

Hi all,

My hexagonal chess program Scatha is now updated to version 0.2.4.

Because of a limitation in the nice but somewhat unfinished development
tools I use to create Scatha's GUI, version 0.2.4 will only work in OS X
10.4.1.  It will not work in 10.4.0, and it will almost certainly not work
in 10.4.2.  I'll release a 10.4.2 compatible version shortly after 10.4.2
is released.

There is nothing new in the GUI, only the engine is changed.  It should
be a tiny bit stronger now.  Early tests with Glaurung, Scatha's twin
program for classical chess, indicate an improvement of about 30 Elo
points.  Otherwise the only noticable change is 0.2.4 is compatible
with OS X 10.4.1, while 0.2.3 was only compatible with 10.4.0.

The total lack of complaints that Scatha 0.2.3 did not work in
Mac OS X 10.4.1 is rather alarming.  It makes me suspect that I
am the only person who actually uses Scatha.  :-(

The program and source code (only for the chess engine so far)
can be downloaded from the following URL:
