Hi :-)

I'm really proud to present this version. We have a new GUI for
engine information. This GUI support all things such as the big
GUI chessbase/fritz8 and more :-)

Take little look on a part of the gui:

This version have allso new specs for wb2 proto for this GUI.

The new GUI display a lot of infos during all gamesmode with WB.
So i need more information from engine as before. My idea:
Engine send answer to a poll with ".\n" in the analyze mode.

Why sould we don't use this feature during normal games ?
So this version send a . every second in every gameMode and read data.
See stat01 line should be the same as analyze Mode.
I think its easy to add for programers, because your program do the same with
analyze Mode.

For details please read this:

Support engines with the new GUI at the moment:

- crafty
- yace
- next version of comet (b.61?)

I have no problem if you're not support that, because it's not
offical. The GUI runs allso without this but not so smart and fast.
It's a personal choice for the chess programer all of the world to support
this.

But i hope you do it :-)

Feel free to ask me, comment this or kill me ;-)

Greetings
Daniel Mehrmann
