[chessx-developer] Testers needed for ChessX 1.4.9

[jens-chessx <jen...@gm...>]

Friends of ChessX,

I could need some beta-testers for ChessX.
I have uploaded a version 1.4.9 for Mac OS as a preview to the upcoming 1.5.0, you can find it at the Sourceforge: chessx-1.4.9.dmg <https://sourceforge.net/projects/chessx/files/chessx/1.4.9/chessx-1.4.9.dmg/download>.

If you want to help testing ChessX please make sure you have a backup of all your PGN before starting!

Where you should look intensively:
- I have implemented a lot of changes where filtering and listing databases and games takes place. You can do multiple selections now in the database list and the game list.
Thus: Try to copy games or databases into each other and inspect results if they are as expected.
- As I have a very powerful Mac I might miss things that are very slow for whatever reason. Try to open large databases if you have a not so powerful computer and evaluate, if performance is acceptable.
- After testing: Compare your complete backup PGNs and your current files for destroyed content or unexepected changes.
- Watch for widgets which do not properly update. Example: After drawing an arrow and pressing undo: does the arrow disappear? There has been a complaint, that the FICS-clock does not update properly (I do not know which version of ChessX), something I could not reproduce in 1.4.9.

And finally - please send me some feeedback what went right and what went wrong!

Kind regards

Jens
