Major bug in ChessGUI 0.185, 0.186, 0.187

[Matthias Gemuh]

There is a major bug in ChessGUI versions 0.185, 0.186, 0.187. !

When a programmer mistakenly types

Code: Select all

if ((tc->nChoice<0)||(tc->nChoice>0)) tc->nChoice = 0;

instead of

Code: Select all

if ((tc->nChoice<0)||(tc->nChoice>2)) tc->nChoice = 0;

, the consequences can be very devastating.

Time control is then wrongly always fischer.

I will upload ChessGUI 0.188 later today.

Of course, I am sorry for any disasters the bug may have caused.

These things can happen. Don't be too discouraged. ChessGUI is a commendable piece of work for a single programmer.

Cheers,

It is the testing that is frustrating.
There are just too many combinations of options to test.

ChessGUI 0.188 is out there.

- fixed repeated TC bug
- Tournaments with more than 32 cycles (usually gauntlets) will now initialize faster (by postponing some initialisations)
- Options for creating GUI Remis Book now also used to create pgn start positions test suites.
