Tooltips display node's move, name and comment text. * Quarry now registers `application/x-go-sgf' MIME type (for SGF game records) during installation. GNOME 2.8+ desktop will pick the type up automatically. However, Quarry cannot associate itself with the type yet... * New translation: Polish (pl), by Robert Stefaniuk. Updated translations: en_GB, ru. * Many bug-fixes and small improvements. --- New in Quarry 0.1.16 --------------------------------------------- * Quarry is now an SGF editor! In addition to features added in 0.1.15 and earlier, it is now possible to create game records without playing a game; undo/redo history has been drastically improved and is now really useful; there is an editing toolbar. However, undo/redo of comments and node names still needs an improvement. * Command to jump straight to a named node. Advantage over text search here is name completion. (Only for GTK+ 2.4 and up.) * Somewhat updated and expanded manual. * New translations: British English (en_GB), Russian (ru.) * Bug-fixes and small improvements. --- New in Quarry 0.1.15 --------------------------------------------- * First stab at making Quarry an SGF editor. New editing commands: deletion of nodes, position setup (arbitrary addition/removal of pieces), SGF markup editing and scoring of Go positions. * As a special editing feature, undo/redo history is supported. However, it is quite crude in this version and will often work not the way you expect. In particular, it completely ignores all properties and concentrates on node addition/removal only. * Support for node names. They are now shown above comments (much like text headers), can be edited and searched the same way comments can be searched. * Added support for GTK+ 2.4 file chooser dialog. You can still opt to use old-style file selection dialog in Preferences. * First translation: French (fr), by Jérémie Knuesel. * Bug-fixes and small improvements. --- New in Quarry 0.1.14 --------------------------------------------- * Two bug-fixes, including fix for #2089, which caused segfaults when adding new GTP engines. --- New in Quarry 0.1.13 --------------------------------------------- * Warning about potential loss of information is no longer shown on file overwriting: there must be no possibility for it anymore. * It is now possible to adjourn and later resume a game. Actually, you can resume any unfinished game, even one stored from another client. * Improved time control handling. In particular, player who runs out of time now actually loses the game. * Improvements in game tree view, including better tracking of current node, clear indication of current tree branch and less flickering. * New, alternative, woodgrain background by Brenn Hill. It is not the default, but you can select it in the Preferences dialog. * Small improvements and bug-fixes. --- New in Quarry 0.1.12 --------------------------------------------- * Bug-fixes in game tree view. In particular, bug #1969 is fixed, which crashed Quarry on many SGF files. --- New in Quarry 0.1.11 --------------------------------------------- * New Game Tree View control provides means of easily navigating game record trees. It looks much like that of cGoban 1 and has similar features. However, it also allows collapsing/expanding individual nodes (by right-clicking) and is much faster. * Basic support for debugging GTP connections from command line. Use it if your engine won't work with Quarry out of the box. * New fancy markup theme "Filled." * Many bug-fixes (including bug #1929) and improvements here and there. --- New in Quarry 0.1.10 --------------------------------------------- * New useful feature: text search in comments. Can be invaluable when browsing through a very large game tree like a joseki dictionary or a GNU Go debug trace. * Much improved displaying of SGF labels. In particular, no more black labels on black stones. * Two toolbars and a pseudo-toolbar are added. Those who prefer more window space can just hide the toolbars. * New markup theme "Bold." Just like the default theme, but with thicker lines. * Many bug-fixes and small improvements. --- New in Quarry 0.1.9 ---------------------------------------------- * Compilation-time error with GTK+ 2.4 fixed (bug #898, mateusz@kaduk.net.) * Minor bug-fixes in game information editing. --- New in Quarry 0.1.8 ---------------------------------------------- * Full support for SGF game information, including editing. * Support for resignation. Most importantly, Quarry now handles resignations by GTP engines. * Support for SGF labels in addition to recently added support for SGF markup. Displaying code still need tweaks to make labels more readable in certain cases. * Quarry is now bundled with documentation. * You can now choose in Preferences dialog whether to save all SGF files in UTF-8 or preserve original encoding. However, support for other encodings is at about the same level as in 0.1.7. * Bug-fixes, better support for earlier GTK+ versions and yet further improved support for locales. --- New in Quarry 0.1.7 ---------------------------------------------- * Partial support for different encodings of SGF files. It is not yet complete, but at least all single-byte encodings should work. * GTP engines now automatically score games they play. (By Martin Holters) * Comments can now be edited. Just modify the text in the comment pane and your changes will be remembered. * Mouse wheel can be used to go back and forth between moves (Suggested by David Gómez). * Othello disks now look like disks, not like Go stones. * Markup appearance is now configurable. * Quarry is internationalized, though there are no translations yet. * Other small improvements and bug-fixes. --- New in Quarry 0.1.6 ---------------------------------------------- * False eyes are now carefully examined and don't yield territory when they shouldn't when scoring Go games. However, sekis are still not handled. * SGF markup is finally displayed on board. Note that if you have customized board background, markup can appear just barely noticeable to you. Markup appearance will be customizeable in the next version. * Many miscellaneous improvements in Preferences dialog. It shouldn't crash anymore. * Board (goban) now visually indicates when it has focus and so when arrow keys without Alt can be used for navigation. * Bug-fixes (including bug #522) and minor improvements. --- New in Quarry 0.1.5 ---------------------------------------------- * Time control. This includes time limit per game, time limit per move and Canadian overtime (also known as Canadian byo-yomi). Of course games without time limits are possible as well. Note that at present if a player runs out of time, he doesn't lose automatically. * Important game information is now displayed under player names. For Go this is the number of captures and the komi. For Othello this is the number of disks a player has on board. * It is now safe to navigate game tree while a game is played. For instance, when you have two GTP engines playing against each other, you can go back to the game beginning and study moves at whatever speed you like. In earlier versions this would lead to a corrupted game. * Bug-fixes, including better support for locales. --- New in Quarry 0.1.4 ---------------------------------------------- * Severe bug in 0.1.3 fixed. --- New in Quarry 0.1.3 ---------------------------------------------- * Support for game rules. This includes board size for all three games and hadicap (both fixed and free) and komi for Go. * Go games can now be scored by the user. Automatic scoring by the playing GTP engines is not yet implemented. * Customizable board appearance (only backround at present, not the pieces). Because of the appearance of certain internal machinery, all three games now look differently by default: Go looks just like before, Amazons has checkerboard pattern and Othello has dark green solid background. * Bug-fixes, including some backports to pre-2.4 GTK+. --- New in Quarry 0.1.2 ---------------------------------------------- * Support for saving SGF files integrated into GUI. * Finally a way to pass when playing Go. * New feature: SGF diff. It will allow to generate difference between two SGF files as a third SGF file. This way you will be able to easily find what has changed between two version of an SGF file as easily as you can find difference between versions of a text file with UNIX `diff' program. At present the feature is far from being really useful. It is added as a proof of concept. Look for program `sgf-diff' in `src/sgf/' if you want to give it a try. * Many bug-fixes.
