[Scidvspc-users] New tktext code for ScidvsPC (with Windows exes).

[Steve A <ste...@gm...>]

The short of it is - there are two new ScidvsPC windows builds
  https://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/
They are the newest "tktext" files. Thanks go to Ozkan and Gregor :)
... I may make them the default downloads. Not sure yet.

The long of it is - Gregor's awesome tk::text widget is nearly at release
candidate stage, and (in subversion) we've updated the patch to embed it
directly in ScidvsPC. This is important for Linux users, as the Wish 8.6.x
tk::text memory leaks that were recently reported are more prevalent than
we thought, and most Linux users should now be compiling with this patch
applied. Not only will it fix tktext memory leaks, but the PGN window
especially, gets a huge speed boost for big games.
At the start of the patch ("patches/gregors_tktext_inline.patch" - which is
a text file), there are some modest installation instructions.

Here are the main changes for Windows users from 4.19 to this release

Disable MS Windows screenshot feature (broken)
In Board Options window, allow for more than two lines of Pieces.
Analysis Engines: bind keys 1 to 5 to set PV.
*Add option to use a black rectangle instead* *of colour for selected
square*
*Graph support for %emt (move time) values*.
Show/highlight current Piece Style in Board Options window.
Disable gamelist flag/delete menus if read-only
*Annotate last move blunders*. (Previously, the case when player makes a
blunder and doesn't wait for his opponent to move before resigning; the
better move was not annotated).
Norsk translation update from Morten Skarstad.

I will have a go at making an OS X package sometime shortly, but not sure
how it will go.
