======

This application is a simple chess board for android : use drag and drop in order to move the pieces. All moves are verified.
*) The moves are written in the moves view : the green moves are the "passed" moves.
*) You can navigate into the game history, with the arrow buttons, or by clicking on a move description of the moves view.
*) When you go back to a given position, you can also change it (and thus clearing all next moves) :
simply define a new move !

Be careful ! If you install version 0.3.4 and above, over a previous 0.3.2 or above, you will need to start a new game just after having installed the application.
Why ? Because the save data has not the same format in version 0.3.2 and 0.3.4.

History
-------

0.3.6) 
=> The move history bar (with the four buttons gotoFirst, gotoPrevious, gotoNext, gotoLast) is now only visible in the board tab of the activity. Furthermore, its orientation is automatically adapted to the phone orientation (landscape/portrait).
=> The buttons of the history bar has images instead of text.
=> In the history bar, there is a new TextVie(label) in order to say whether the current position is chessmate, stalemate or none of both.
0.3.4) Now :
=> I've corrected a bug on promotions and game reloading : when a piece was promoted and the game saved, loading back the game put a queen whatever was the promoted piece.
=> I've corrected a bug related to new games : when you started a new game, the moves view was not updated, but now it is.
=> When you click on a move in the moves view, the game "switch" to the move position. So yo have two ways in order to navigate in history : use the history bar or clicking on a move notation.
0.3.2) Now the game is automatically saved whenever you pause the app, you switch to another activity, you exit the app, you rotate the phone, or you press on home/pause button. But also remember that you can restart a new game with the new game menu.
0.3.0) Many changes in this version :
=> The player turn tab has been removed, but we still can see the circle indicating the player turn,
=> We can now "navigate" into the game : going back to the previous or to the first move, going forward to the last or to the next move.
All "passed" moves are written in green in the moves view.
=> When you go back to a given position, you can also change it, simply by defining a new move ! (Thus, all next moves will be cleared, and the moves view updated).


0.2.10) I've added a new tab : player turn. It shows to which player the turn is.
0.2.8)  Now the pawns promotions are managed (a dialog appears in order to let you choose your kind of piece).
0.2.6)  Now all moves are written to the moves view (in algebraic notation).
0.2.4)  Now all moves are checked thanks to the itck chess library (and cancelled, with an animation, if not valid).
0.2.2)  I'm avoiding more memory leaks : specially when switching many times from portrait to landscape orientation (or the inverse).
0.2.0)  Simply move pieces by drag and drop.
