This makes it much easier to package eliot for Ubuntu Focal, where
gettext 0.20 is not yet available.
This reverts the following commits:
- 4f4ada677c
- 7bc44cf5ec
- 32a7aa2234
It also changes the gettext version in configure.ac.
- New (optional) dependency on the libconfig library, to save/load configuration files.
- On Unix, the location of the configuration file respects the XDG Base Directory Specification.
- The contrib system automatically fetches and builds libconfig for Windows cross-compilation
- Fixed make distcheck
- Embed the program icon into the executable on Windows: the icon is not visible in Windows explorer
- Fixed gettext configuration on Windows. The translations now appear, but the accents still don't display correctly.
- Fixed a few translation issues
- Display the Eliot icon
- Improved printing
- Allow changing the level of computer players
- Generate automatically a default name for players
- Translate Qt's own strings (only works on Linux at the moment)
- regexp search results are now in uppercase, like other results
- the regexp search indicates if there are more results than the maximum
allowed
Qt interface:
- new window with some dictionary tools: check word, word+1 and regexp search
- the multiplayer modes are more or less playable
- the training mode is not playable at all
- the current layout is still experimental
- many dialogs and options are missing
- tested on Linux only
There are still hundreds of things to do...
This simplifies the code in many places, and allows inheritance of the
game mode classes (Training, Duplicate and FreeGame).
- A Tile is no more an unsigned char, but a class: it should help supporting
i18n of the game. The Dic library still uses unsigned chars though.
- Improved the configure script, to enable/disable the compilation of some
interfaces.
- Added a ncurses interface, much nicer than the text one. The game mode and
the number of players are currently hardcoded, it is not possible to change
them interactively (yet).
- Repaired the save/load functions.
NOTE: The wxWindows interface compiles, but is completely broken. I'm afraid it
needs a full rewrite (to support the various game modes in particular).
