Hi Steve A !
I want to bring up a somewhat minor compilation annoyance, which has
been present for a while.
I typically compile the application on "multilib" systems (i.e. mixed
64-bit and 32-bit systems), which are usually running Slackware Linux
(or some derivative of Slackware). However, I do most of my work in
64-bit "space", and so compile 64-bit versions of Scid vs PC.
When running the *configure* script, it correctly guesses the locations
of tk and tcl *include *and *lib *files. Then, it decides:
*"Location of X11 library: /usr/lib"*
...when it should be */usr/lib64 *.*
*
I would fix it by editing the Makefile:
TK_LIBRARY = $(TCL_LIBRARY) -ltk$(TCL_VERSION) -L/usr/lib -lX11
is changed to:
TK_LIBRARY = $(TCL_LIBRARY) -ltk$(TCL_VERSION) -L/usr/lib_64_ -lX11
Without that change, *make* draws on 32-bit X11 libs during compilation,
and the compiled program crashes randomly, as can be expected :-)
I looked into the *configure* script, and the issue is that it lists
*/usr/lib* before */usr/lib64*, when setting *libraryPath *and
*x11Path*. As I don't usually install 32-bit versions of *tcl* and *tk*,
*configure* guesses correctly for them.
I do not know if switching the default search order within the
*configure* script will cause issues for most other folks, but that
would be my request :-).
Thanks for all the work you put into Scid vs PC!
Okey Iwu

Ok, Thanks again to Ozkan for rebuilding the windows packages today, and
those sending in translation updates. The source and mac builds have been
updated too.
There are only minor changes made in the last week or so. These are:
* fics/graph tweaks (right clicking the in-graph title shows a menu, auto
store fics times and update graph at game end)
* translation updates
* "Reset ECO and spellcheck files to defaults if they are missing" (which
may have been the cause of Carl's macOS bug report)
So using the new packages isn't too important. Sorry for the poor release
scheduling.
Cheers, Steven

I might make a version bump/ changelog / release shortly.
as I'm quite happy with the new time graph now it has distinquishing
bar-graph colours (attached), and there's quite a few minor changes
and two serious (but hard to hit) fixes for crashes in the inbuilt pgn
parser and engine.
There are a few Todos in the translations, which can be found here if
anyone can update them, thanks.

Just click on your language then select "Download this file", then change
the items marked "todo" in your text editor.
Cheers, Steven
