[Bug-gnubg] New Windows Build [20110822 Snapshot]

[Michael Petch]

Howdy All,

I have produced a new windows Build from the 20110822 Snapshot. There were a variety of bug fixes and enhancements made:

The new release can be found here: http://gnubg.org/index.php?itemid=56
The specific installer for this release is:  http://gnubg.org/media/windows/gnubg-MAIN-20110822-setup.exe
 
The primary changes and fixes in this new release were:

2011-08-21  Michael Petch  <address@hidden>
	* gtkchequer.c,gtkcube.c: Fixed bug #33781. When doing a
	chequer play rollout from the hint window, destroy the rollout
	window when the user hits "Stop" or the rollout finishes.
	This is the same behavior as doing "Rollout" from the move
	list in the game record pane. Fix similar issue with cube rollout.
	Please see https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?33781
	for additional comments and other coding options to resolve
	these issues

	* eval.c: Improve evaluation of late bearoff positions in match
	play. Problem reported by Neil Robins (in 2009). 0-ply can still
	be way off if there is an impending automatic redouble but
	evaluations with lookahead should be adequate.

2011-08-20  Michael Petch  <address@hidden>
	* gnubg.c: Fixed bug #33781. When doing a chequer play rollout
	from the hint window, detroy the rollout window when the user
	hits "Stop" or the rollout finishes. This is the same behavior
	as doing "Rollout" from the move list in the game record pane.. 

2011-08-20  Michael Petch  <address@hidden>
	* gnubg.c: Fixed bug #33141. Under Windows convert file name
	from locale to utf8 to handle special characters in file names.

2011-08-19  Michael Petch  <address@hidden>
	* set.c: Fixed bug reported by Chris Yep. If you use "hint"
	on a Crawford position, edit the position and remove Crawford
	flag, and click "Hint" it used the previous position info and
	produced identical results. Also occurred if using
	"set crawford" command directly.

2011-08-16  Michael Petch  <address@hidden>
	* sound.c, configure.in: Play CoreAudio sounds in the
	background on OS/X builds. Deficiency found by Louis Zulli. 

2011-08-16  Philippe Michel  <address@hidden>

	* eval.c, eval.h: Add 4ply with large movefilter to predefined
	play levels. Bump grandmaster movefilter up to large.

2011-08-12  Michael Petch  <address@hidden>
	* play.c, gtkgame.c, gtkboard.c: Fixed bug #33866 reported by 
	Gerhard. In 3D mode with option "Start new Games immediately" 
	turned off, match would not continue properly if the computer
	offered a resignation. Also fixes the bug where the resignation 
	flag is not cleared after accepting/rejecting a resignation.
	Fixed Bug #33701, #33313 - When "Start Game Immediately" option
	is off, resigning gets the user stuck trying to start a new 
	game. Now allow user to click dice area on board to start new 
	game after a resign. 	

2011-08-11  Michael Petch  <address@hidden>
	* set.c: When importing XGIDs prompt user in positions where
	person on roll is on top before swapping. In non interactive
	mode swapping will not occur. This option exists because XG2
	swaps players when exporting (default), so person on roll
	appears on bottom. Unfortunately, XG2 does not change the XGID
	to account for the change.

2011-08-09  Michael Petch  <address@hidden>
	* play.c, gtkoptions.c: A new bug was introduced that broke
	canceling of a match where bot played bot (or potentially other
	scenario of automatic play). Fixed an old bug where canceling 
	automated bearoff of the human didn't work properly. Cache size 
	is now reported as MB (Megabyte) not "Mb" (Megabit) 	

Build and Development specific changes:

2011-08-18  Michael Petch  <address@hidden>
	* configure.in, Makefile.am, gnubgmodule.c: Fixed build issues
	with Mingw/Msys environment. MingW doesn't output Binary data 
	by default to stdout. Use makeweights "-f" argument to output
	proper binary weights files. On Windows path names need to be
	properly escaped when passed to the Python interpreter.

2011-08-15  Michael Petch  <address@hidden>
	* Makefile.am, configure.in, util.c, board3d/Makefile.am, 
	doc/Makefile.am: better support for Mingw/Msys windows
	builds.
