Happy new year to everyone. Let's start 2009 with a type II supernova
and get some of our recent developments out to the public! The
tpclient-pywx single player functionality has been more or less ready
for release for some time, but there are still a few things we need to
accomplish before it can move forward. We want to get a release
candidate out soon, with support for MiniSec and Risk. Here is a list
of general action items; my hope is that we can nail down some
specific goals (particularly for #2). All feedback is appreciated.

1. New tpserver-cpp Release

Although the single player mode does not yet necessarily require the
administration protocol or any other post-5.1 features, as a release
is imminent, I would like to do testing against it. Also, one of our
target rulesets is Risk, which will be included in the new release.

2. AI Client Release

We need an AI client ready to install before we can present the single
player mode to end users. Tim has suggested GenCon, which would
require Java packaging for both itself and for an official release of
libtpproto-java. Alternatively, we could use daneel-ai, which uses the
Python stuff but probably also requires some work to make a tidy
package. Better still would be to release with both. Note that the
package(s) would need to install the appropriate single player XML
file(s), which I can help with. Could we get some feedback from the
developers (including Krzysztof) on this?

3. GUI Polish

I am not terribly good at making nice wx/GTK interfaces. Perhaps
someone more experienced with wxPython could take a look at the single
player wizard and make it look a little better? I am available to help
with what's currently in there. This isn't absolutely necessary for a
functional release candidate, but would be nice before a final
release.
