Hi!
For those of you who use a) cvs version and b) correspondence chess:
I did some rewriting of the cc windows game list population in order to
allow for postal games. This means the following:
- Now additional game headers might be read from the database games and
not only from the games in your inbox. Ie. if you set WhiteCountry /
BlackCountry in the database you'll also get the flags displayed in CC
gamelist, even if those tags are not supplied via Xfcc (e.g. ICCF does
not provide them.) This required a bit of rewriting of the update code
which came with some code cleanup and performance improvement.
- Scid builds the CC game list by reading the input from your data/Inbox
directory. (See docs about this.) Now, you may set the mode of a game in
the header to "Postal". In this case Scid will not update the game from
the Inbox anymore but show it in CC gamelist provided a suitable PGN
exists. Note that the Mode header in the database takes precedence to
the PGN header in your Inbox. (In a postal event I play right now I get
an empty game via ICCF's Xfcc interface.)
- I'm working on postcard printing which will use the two header tags
WhiteAddress / BlackAddress to populate the cards properly. However,
this will take a bit as I've no really nice class for the postcard yet.
My first quick & dirty version works already for me but its nothing to
be distributed. ;)
Please drop me a note if I broke anything.
