A few little Winboard bugs

Post by Guenther »

When playing from a FEN position (with PGN that does not happen!) the time for the first move is not saved.

The second one was already mentioned by me, but I don't remember the thread, or when it was.
When playing through PGN/FEN positions via batch all game numbers are one off from round 2 on.
E.g. the PGN says Round 1 / Number 1 and then Round 2 / Number 3.

BTW are there any plans for a Winboard 4.9 release?

Bump...

This also happens when playing w/o book!
The time for the first White move always is missing.

This means it will happen in all situations when the first move of White
in the PGN/Move history is already a thinking move.
