XB/UCI chronolgy last major update finished

Post by Guenther »

http://rwbc-chess.de/chronology.htm

A lot of minor corrections:
- new links added/obsolete ones deleted
- few little name corrections
- few feature corrections
- few date corrections
- little change in conditions for marking 'new programs' and 'new releses'

The last major change:
- added an EGT column

There are really no more plans for bigger changes now!

Probably I will create a few stat diagrams though, like those in the past
of the chronology.

Please report obvious errors especially in the new column 'EGT' to rwbc[AT]gmx.de

Code: Select all

=> except Daydreamer 2.0 pre2 : support of Gaviota and Scorpio bases (currently?) not available

Done. It was easier than expected, because I thought why not use the
diagram functions also in GoogleTables now instead of OpenOffice as before.
Only at the beginning I did not find anything... but finally all went well.

I have added three charts. Best viewing probably with at least 1920*1080.

A: Number of new program releases per year (population growth)

B: Number of last version release per year (activity and lifespan)
(as normal and as pie chart)

C: 1st letter of the engine name population (just for fun)

It is linked now from the rwbc main page. Below the direct link.
