[eboard-users] Announcement: eboard 0.4.2

[Felipe B. <be...@se...>]

Hello,

eboard 0.4.2 is out.

It can be found at the usual places:

[1] ftp://ftp.seul.org/pub/chess/eboard

[2] http://eboard.sourceforge.net/download.html

The changelog since 0.4.1 follows. For 0.4.3 I want to implement visual
and audio warnings for when time is running out on the clock. I expect to 
have it done by the next week.

Enjoy it.


0.4.2

  * [fics] As a side effect of the change below, some FICS lines that
           included the user name but were not highlighted as personal 
           (yellow) now will be.

  * [fics] Hotfixed the treatment of LectureBot announcements when
           channel splitting is on. Notice that the :LectureBot(TD)(67)
           lines aren't really channel tells, but xtells pretending to
           be channel tells. Now eboard is credulous and will send these
           to the ch 67 channel pane. (translation: it is LectureBot's
           fault, not mine)

  * [all]  Added the shortcut bar below the board. If you don't like it,
           disable it from the Settings -> Preferences : Appearance
           dialog.

  * [all]  Modified the antialias algorithm again, now it does a regular
           gaussian smoothing as a 3x3 convolution in RGB-space instead
           of the previous oddball.

  * [all]  Beeping code now calls SNDCTL_DSP_POST, which should prevent
           unwanted noise after the beep with some audio drivers
           (especially on AC'97 devices).

  * [all]  Revamped the Sound pane in the Preferences dialog so that
           it becomes able to handle more sound events.

  * [ics]  Added a sound event to be played when the user is
           challenged.

  * [all]  Changed button disposition in the Games on Client dialog.

  * [fics] Now eboard works correctly when the FICS examine variable
           is set (automatically start examination when game finishes)

  * [all]  Minor corrections to network connection opening code
           (more accurate reporting of connection failures)

  * [ics]  Added the bookmarks submenu in the Peer menu.

  * [ics]  The Connect to Other Server... dialog will no longer take
           empty host names (which would lead to startup failure
           on previous versions)
