I'm currently preparing the fourth public preview version, the current
repository version (r917) is quite stable. The novelties:
- Installation problems with Ubuntu fixed (Ubuntu is quite unfriendly to
self-installed software packages)
- PGN archives now can be modified and saved (.pgn and .pgn.gz)
- Important fixes in ChessBase decoder
- File selection dialog is finished, especially Drag & Drop
- PGN setup for export options now is a separate dialog; this is important
for PGN export, which is available in different menues
- Language dependent sorting implemented
- New themes added: "Blackjack" and "Country Style"
(thanks to José Carlos Martins)
- Problem with slow down in game editor eliminated
- Upgrade of engine Stockfish to version 3
- Session management implemented: now Scidb will intervene if the user is doing
a session shutdown while Scidb is writing/updating a database
- Copy game to clipboard implemented
- Export of current game implemented (for example to PGN file)
- New option in tree window: show next game move with bold font
- Comment editor overworked
- Game editor now detects and displays Smileys (optional)
- Help dialog: CQL help pages completed
- freedesktop.org requirements implemented:
- Desktop menu entry for Scidb will be installed
- Opening databases with a file manager is possible
- Custom menu check/radio-buttons implemented (as default)
- Toolbar now has drop-down buttons
Note to translators: The language specific translation file has new entries
(only a few), and "tcl/help/Whats-New.txt" is updated.
Cheers,
Gregor
