Status:
It works well, but there are still a few details to improve/fix
More details about the changes:
- New dependency on Arabica and Libxml2 to parse the XML
- Loading the old format is still supported for this release, but won't be supported anymore in the next one
- Games are now only saved in the new format
- In training mode, the player is now created externally, like in the other modes
- Avoid using GameIO (the one from game/) whenever possible
- Do not use a FILE* argument anymore when loading a game
- Throw and catch exceptions correctly when a game cannot be loaded or saved
- The non-regression tests now use a new method to print the game history
There are too many change to list properly, here is an overview of the main changes:
- the dictionary is now in C++
- the dictionary has a new format, where it is possible to specify the letters,
their points, their frequency, ... It is backwards compatible.
- Eliot now supports non-ASCII characters everywhere
- i18n of the compdic, listdic, regexpmain binaries
- i18n of the wxWidgets interface (now in english by default)
- add doxygen file description
- revert Dic_chr / board_search patch
returning the character instead of the code
was a HUGE performance penalty
The dictionary must use codes, the board must be
made to use codes instead of dic using tiles.
- add Dic_char and Dic_char_lookup as temporary
fixes for board_search. Should modify Board and Cross class
instead.
- create dic_code_t type
