Hello all :-)
First thank you for the big response. It's seems like that i should do
a lot of things. I will look now what i can do for you.
As next i make some bugfixes and add some patch from other peoples.
But i want say something about UCI and Arena:
UCI:
At the moment the UCI is freeze state because i don't understand that protocol
at some parts right. I had a long talk with Dieter und now some things are clear
for me. The result was that i must drop 70% of my UCI code. UCI is much more
dynamicly as i know. I will restart with UCI in the next weeks.
Arena GUI:
WB is WB and Arena is Areana. What i mean is both projects goes different ways
and i don't want make WB as Arena. Arena is a nice Windows GUI with a lot of
colors ;-) I want a "working platform" with more support features.
Please don't understand me wrong but i don't need suchs GUI's as Arena.
At least the changes (but no public at the moment):
28.02.2003 winboard-4.2.6-dm-beta3.1 release (not public at moment)
* bugfix minorfixes I do a lot of minorfixes in the GUI and clean
up the code a little bit.
* NEW AnalyzeOutPut I add some nice features: Name of players,
time, nps... Looks nice :)
* NEW smartQueue Control automatic the output to ICS if we
analysis some games and broadcast results
to a channel or person. It works with killPV
and set the value automatic (fail low/high).
This is much better as we post every new PV.
For example in the endgame its possible that
the engine post 10 plys at 5 seconds (crafty(C)
do that :((). This smart feature drop such
PV's. Enable/Disable GUI->Options->ICS
(for more read ICS-Observing.txt)
* ICS-Mode follow a player Follow never run correct. Only the first game
would be analysis. WB don't know this mode for
engines. Add a line.
* bugfix IcsAnalyze eng. talk Some Engines whisper/kibitz to the game if we
are in ICS-Analyzemode.ICS-Analyze: We drop
now all whisper and kibitz messages from
engine. (example "Hello from....")
* bugfix IcsAn.OutPut(Tell): If we change somthing at analyze setting,
the "tell" option will even switch to default
value and overwrite possible user settings.
Check state and set default if we found
nothing.
* bugfix IcsAn.OutPut(Book): Not all engine use wb2 proto clear. If we
see a stat line before pv comes we are in a
running game. If no stat and pv comes directly
we are in bookmode. Not all engine do that.
So we look allso to the program.depth:
If 0 we are in book mode.
