Jin client for chess servers

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: jin-2.14.1

Notes:
This release is mainly focused on Mac OS X related fixes, but also adds a few new and lovely piece sets and replaces some ugly icons with pretty ones.

Changes: * Added a "Crampled Paper" board pattern. * Added new piece sets from Maurizio Monge (http://linuz.sns.it/~monge/wiki/index.php/Chess_pieces). * Mac OS X: You can now quickly respond to the last person who sent you a tell by hitting the F8 key in the console. Previously, this didn't work on Mac OS X because the default key used for this (F9) is taken by Expose. * The "Actions" window is no longer resizable. * A bunch of minor UI adjustments to make Jin look better under Mac OS X (and, hopefully, not worse on other platforms). * Merged the "Move highlight" and "Move input" board preferences panels into one panel - "Moves". * Command-W on Mac OS X and Alt-W on other platforms will now close Jin windows in SDI mode. * Mac OS X: Some graphics were drawn badly, such as vector pieces, square highlight and arrow. All pretty (and antialiased) now. * Mac OS X: The keyboard shortcuts for moving through an examined game are now Command-Left (one ply backward), Command-Right (one ply forward), Command-Home (beginning of game) and Command-End (end of game). * Mac OS X: The keyboard shortcut for entering board fullscreen mode is now Command-Enter. * Replaced ugly board icons (game previous/next/start/end and fullscreen) with pretty icons taken from the Tango Desktop Project at http://tango.freedesktop.org/ * Unix/Linux: The default Look and Feel is now Metal, since GTK is still awful. * Mac OS X: Jin is now distributed as a compressed .dmg file (instead of a .dmg file inside of a .tar.gz).
