I updated Ubuntu (Unity) 16.10 to gnome-chess 1:3.22.0-1ubuntu1. Before the update, Chess crashed when I completed the test case. After the update, the test case works without crashing.

Test Case --------- 1. Open the Chess app and click Preferences in the app menu. Change Opposing Player to Human. Close Preferences. 2. Make a move then click New Game to start a new game without a computer player. 3. Move a pawn to the far end of the board to promote it to Queen. Does Chess crash after promoting? Regression Potential -------------------- Low. This patch only affects pawn promotion which currently causes the game to crash so this is definitely an improvement. Other Info ---------- There are 3 ways to fix this bug: 1) Build gnome-chess without hardening flags. (This is the approach taken in Fedora 25). 2) Apply a minimal workaround patch to gnome-chess. The patch was acknowledged by the gnome-chess maintainer, but he preferred to push for a proper fix in vala instead. 3) Fix this in vala (it was fixed in vala 0.36 and 0.34.7) and then rebuild gnome-chess against the new vala. https://git.gnome.org/browse/vala/commit/?id=f6e29bd1 I initially did #2 in Ubuntu 17.04 Beta (zesty) but will replace it with #3. I am using #2 for Ubuntu 16.10 since it seems a more minimal SRU. This only affect Ubuntu 16.10 since that was the first release where we opted gnome-chess into all available hardening flags.
