I am using the 2.1.0 source version of your program for DragonChess. The bug I have stumbled upon and very surprised it has not been brought up is that the Warrior piece does not automatically promote into the Hero piece. As I haven't tried the other versions of your DragonChess games, I do not know if this is a current release bug or simply overlooked altogether. In any case it should be a simple matter to fix.
I am very impressed at your work for this game and it is a very nice program, with just a few flaws. None of them except for the promotion bug affect the gameplay mechanics though; for example, there is no way to get rid of the "Check!" or "Gold/Scarlet Wins/Resigns!" tags that appears in the window.
Keep up the good work. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this project and thanks for making this game possible to play! (Without making your own set that is!)

Today, I downloaded each version available on the site and found that only the beta version automatically promotes the Warrior into the Hero. Thinking that maybe it had something to do with the .svg files I exchanged them in the most recent version and the beta version, and the Warrior still fails to promote, which means the problem exists in the hard-coding. In such a case it should be easy for someone to compare the source and offer a solution or a patch to the promotion bug.
