Version d12.0

Changes since d11.2:

Games and Players Lists

When you are logged on, "Players List" and "Games List" are now available from the Windows menu. These bring up windows with dynamically-updating tables of players and games respectively. Like the Mac OS, you can click on a column heading to sort by that heading. You can shift-click or command-click to get multiple selections in accordance with Mac standards. Except for "Seek," buttons apply to all selected rows.

Click the "Available" checkbox in the Players window to show only players available for matching. Click the "Examined" checkbox in the Games window to show only examined games.

In order to view the Games and Players lists when replaying a log file, you must have "Full Logging" turned on in the "Connection Settings" dialog when the log is created. Full logs take up significantly more disk space then logs created with "Partial Logging".

Pre-dragging of Pieces

It is now allowable to start dragging a piece when it's not your move. Release the piece when your opponent's move comes through. This is great for bullet chess.

Sounds and Sound Options

New sounds have been added for checks, important messages, bughouse drops, etc.
Sounds can be turned on/off by choosing "Sounds..." in the Edit menu
Moves on an observation board have a different sound now, which makes bughouse easier.

Notification Highlighting

Notifications such as "Notification: Darooha has departed." are now treated as important messages and highlighted.

"Fat" Application

Includes both 680x0 code and PowerPC native code together for optimal performance.

Bug Fixes

Positions of Observation and Examine windows weren't being saved independently
"Flip Board" was enabled in cases it shouldn't have been, allowing crashes
Using tab-key when last move was a bughouse drop caused problems
Using "Smart Moves" in Kriegspiel would sometimes cause incorrect board display.
Allow typing while Examine Controls palette is in front
Examining a game no longer brought up Examine Controls palette
Scrollbar was messed up after window resize/zoom; zoom box reinstalled

Expiration date changed to June 2, 1996
