Hi all,
the new 4.7 version of SCID is now available:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/scid/files/Scid/Scid%204.7/
The linux binary requires the tcl/tk library, which can be installed on
debian based systems with:
sudo apt install tcl tk
This new version includes many bug-fixes and I want to thank all the
users for their reports.
The PGN parser has been rewritten and now very large PGN files can be
opened,
like for example the CCRL 40/40 one (~3.5 GB uncompressed):
http://www.computerchess.org.uk/ccrl/4040/CCRL-4040-commented.[973275].pgn.7z
With patience and a powerful PC it is also possible to open the huge
lichess' databases:
https://database.lichess.org/
Study the games of your friends and easily beat them :)
Also, games can now be copied or added directly to PGN files.
Uwe Klimmek did a lot of work.
He refined the look and feel of the GUI and created custom themes which
can be downloaded here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/scid/files/Scid/Additional%20Files/scidthemes.0.9.3.zip/download
He updated the Graph window to include time information and bars for
engine evaluations; the Elo graph and PlayerInfo window to use data from
the spellcheck file; the FICS window to store movetime information.
He also updated the spelling files and player's photos.
On the developer side:
- doxygen code documentation is now available:
http://scid.sourceforge.net/doxygen/html/class_i_codec_database.html
- building with cmake is now possible.
- the warning level for c++ code has been raised (/W3 for VC, -Wall
-Wextra -pedantic for gcc/clang).
- integration of googletest, with coverage of the core database
functionality:
http://scid.sourceforge.net/doxygen/gcov/src/index.html
I hope you enjoy it,
Fulvio
