Go up one level in this thread


strg+c strg+v of my e-mail:

Hello Tim,

basicly you're right  :)  But i don't see that as a extension
in the own reflect of the protocol (feature=x element). Its more a
information for the
engine, nothing more ! And i thought it should be only support the current
features above wb2
in the GUI's. That shouldn't called that the GUI begin to add new features
!!
Maybe i wrote that wrong in my first message. But okay the rsik is very high
that other GUI's
beginn to add not offical features and than we have a nightmare.

I don't wanna use the "feature=x" syntax, because that would be a real
extension and all new
real extensions should _not_ go into wb2, it should go into wb3. And at the
moment i don't do
this job. With the "gui" command its not my target to go to wb3. It should
only be "hotfix"
for all wb2 GUIs.

But okay, i respect your direction and i will remove the stuff soon.

Betreff: Re: [XBoard-devel] New wb2 protocol command "gui"


It would be better to define a new "feature" command for each feature
that other GUIs have and xboard doesn't.  That's how the protocol is
supposed to be extended.

Either way, you'll have to get the other GUI authors to start supporting
this addition for it to be of any use to engine authors.
