WinBoard special CCT12 release

Post by hgm »

The blitz tourney last Saturday revealed only one (cosmetic) bug in the 4.4.3 pre-release, which I now fixed. In addition I fixed a much older, but quite illusive bug in connection with the Chat Boxes. (This was a potentially bad one: patterns in a tell message were matched as if they were independent ICS lines, which cold be exploited as a trapdoor into your opponent's WinBoard!)

The definitive release for CCT12, with fixes to all known bugs, can now be downloaded at http://hgm.nubati.net/WinBoard-CCT12.zip . (This is a bare winboard.exe, which can be used to replace the winboard.exe in the 4.4.2 install.

For XBoard users, the corresponding version can be built from the sources at:
