History
============================

0.7.0 (to be used with JLightChessLib 0.7.0)
---------------------------------------------

The application is now internationalized : either in english, or in french.

0.6.8 (to be used with JlightChessLib 0.6.8)
--------------------------------------------

*) I've corrected a big bug when validating a custom position :
though the move history was cleared, clicking on goBack/goForward button
still tried to make changes (in fact, it just changed the player turn indicator).
*) Now the position editor has its custom chess board.
*) The position editor "clones" the current game position when we open it. 
*) The 50 moves rule is now well managed (there was a bug for taking into account 
the wanted number for the custom position).

0.6.6 (to be used with JlightChessLib 0.6.6)
--------------------------------------------

*) Now you can define your own position (Ctrl+E or Menu Mode->Custom Start Position).
*) The game checks for the 50 moves rule, and prevents you for adding more move whenever
you reach limit without pawn move or capture move.

0.6.0
-----------

*) Drag a piece to the wanted cell
*) Moves are verified
*) A little colored circle show whose player turn it is
*) There's a history manager : you can undo/redo as many moves that you want,
 but replacing a move (again just by drag and drop) will erase all trailing moves.
