[chessx-developer] ChessX 1.0.0 "Beetle" published

[Jens N. <jen...@gm...>]

We have just published version 1.0.0 "Beetle" on the Sourceforge Website.
See the Download page for details: 
http://chessx.sourceforge.net/node/3

Windows Users:
There are optimized Builds for each Windows version, the XP version is the default for Windows users though.

Linux Package Builders: Please note, that for version 1.0.0, the default paths for themes and other file locations have changed.
We are now using the paths that the Qt framework suggests. You might want to test if after building, databases, engines, themes and translations show up properly.

Building on Mac OS Mavericks: I had to change to Qt5.1.1, all prior versions were simply crashing. Even creator was not running.

Translations: The new version contains translations for French and German language.
Bruno has announced an italian translation, which will be made available via download inside the ChessX Application Preferences.
I will make an announcement once the translation is complete.

Users of intermediate versions:
Database Index files received a new internal format, if you have used intermediate versions from svn or any other source, you might need to delete all cxi-files in the index subdirectory of your default database directory. The index files will be rebuilt once you open the associated database. This first open will take longer, afterwards, opening will be as fast as usual.

I hope, you all enjoy the new ChessX.

Regards,

Your ChessX Development Crew
