-------------------------------------------------------------------
[2000/05/20]
* implemented side bars (i.e. descriptions for rows (1 - 8) and
cols (A - H)).
* fixed configure (--disable-sound is now --enable-sound=no) ;)
* ai-level can be customized, and is now - if customized -
adaptive during the game (i.e. increases the longer the game lasts)
-------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------
[2000/03/18]
* fixed a stupid segfault i inserted on Mar 17
* fixed a segfault with a race condition if you leave a game and
the opponent writes you while the game is being cleanup up: boom
* fixed the timeout feature, which did not work too well
is still has to be proven that this one works (i send the time
left with each MOVE command now)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- 0.60.1 - 17 Mar 2000
-------------------------------------------------------------------
[2000/03/17]

[2000/03/10]
* support for statically linked modules
* fixed a segfault in libsqirc that caused segfaults
* added ScrollBar whereever appropriate (chats, lists)
[2000/03/09]
* fixed network-traffic queueing which causes segfaults b/c of
pointer copies that became illegal but were'nt deleted/updated
[2000/03/08] |==> snapshot 0.60.0b7
* added options 9High and 16High to the XHigh Plugin, where only
squares with 9/16 points or less are counted!
* fixed a bug that would block a player from inviting if an
invited opponent left during invitation phase
[2000/03/07]
* completed the plugin interface (only one thing is missing where
i dont know what this might be useful for ;)
* developed the XHigh Plugin with 9Only and 16Only modes,
where only squares of 9 or 16 points are counted
* added the opponents remaining time to the game window during
timed games
* fixed a bug where squaroid would hang in an infinite loop when a
subchannel of a connection was /PARTed
* fixed a memleak with chatrooms where the chatroom memory wasnt
freed in chatroom_cleanup
[2000/03/06]
* added PER_MOVE or PER_GAME timed games
* redesigned the invitation dialog to support the new timed game
modes
[2000/03/06] |==> snapshot 0.60.0b6
* fixed: lost GAME_AI handling (two dialogs popped up) which i
broke with one of my previous code 'cleanups'
* added: fallback to the next best bot if the currently registered one
leaves
[2000/03/05]
* changed coordinate-system to be chess-notation compatible
(A1 is now lower left corner)
* implemented the plugin interface; some callbacks not used yet!!
* implemented first plugin to provide the 'LOWBALL' variation of
the game, where the goal is to NOT get 150+15 points first
* fixed a segfault that occurred b/c a GSList wasn't cleanup up
right and only if a player joined after you and left before you
and you would leave with /quit (strange, huh ;)
i finally found it! and the BUGS list is empty again ;)
* more code cleanups
[2000/03/04]
* implemented handling of a tie (if the board is full)
[2000/03/03] |==> snapshot 20000304 (0.60.b5)
* changed layout of the MOVE command from MOVE 1 1 to MOVE A1
style (A1 is upper left system)
* added /me command
* added sound preferences to the preferences dialog
* fixed reading/storing of certain unsaved config options
* if a non-Client player is found, it's immediately marked invalid
* changed the point where the soundserver is forked off b/c if
it's initialized after the X connection a stopped sound (kill of
process) would confuse and crash Xlib connection!!
* added marker functionality (to help plan next moves). (suggested
MANY moons ago by <dannys@mail.com>. sorry it took so long!)
[2000/03/02]
* the bot is working; /restore, /save if mySQL support enabled
* added errorhandler functionality to libsqirc
* added localcommands /restore and /save to communicate with
the bot to request restoring old score associated with the
playerid which is received after the first /save'ing (the nickname
has nothing to do with scores!)
[2000/02/28] |==> snapshot 20000228 (0.60.b4)
* libsqirc now internally handles CTCP recognition
* started development of new bot
[2000/02/27]
* split off the network-traffic parsing stuff into an
external library: libsqirc (i might announce it separately
later)
* multiple connection; thanx to libsqirc, squaroid can now
handle a theoretically unlimited number of connections; also
you can create and/or '/join' new rooms to play privately!
[ standard room #squaroid still joined on_connect though ]
* CHANGED: behaviour of /part is now to only leave the current
room instead of closing the connection
* new local-command '/join' to join/create a new room
* initial command line argument support...more to come soon

files of libqdwav was missing
[2000/02/22] |==> snapshot 20000220

thanks to Colin Ligertwood's Wav Tools

[2000/02/20]

had already won

* redesigned menu creation to use GtkItemFactory

(an observer is not made aware of any time-limits)
* randomly choose a player to start the game
* after initial invitation the opponents have the chance to
change the settings an unlimited number of times ;)
* FIXED: bug that indicated wrong player in turn
* old default theme renamed to "scratchy"
* new default theme is called "smooth" created by
Rob Speer <rob@twcny.rr.com>

* error check wether connection to server is lost
* debug window as a notebook page
* started implementing of time-limited games
[2000/01/30]
* redesign of the incoming network traffic parser; this one
is so cooool ;) it's callback based, and enhancements can
very easily be done for ctcp, client, server and squaroid
commands. finally that ugly kludge code is gone! check it out :)

aborting an invitation
* major code cleanups; beautified a lot of ugly kludge code

cleaner, easier to enhance now!

twice
-------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------
* fixed a silly bug that occured when the remote server
closed the connection 'too early', for instance if you are
not authorized to use the server
* beautified the preferences dialog just a bit
* theme support [theme-maker is on TODO list]
* fixed an draw-offset typo
* the most improvements are done on the squaroid-host bot:
- it registers with the games database now on execution
if you told it to do so! it updates it's entry every 60
seconds. The bot expires if the games-registry did not
get an update request for 5 minutes

-------------------------------------------------------------------

this is fixed to present you with an error message,

yet :-(

the ./configure procedure => you can now finally install
everything as non-root without having to tweak the code
