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
This display string is used in the ncurses and Qt interfaces.
Display strings are types "wdstring" instead of plain "wstring" in a few places (not all of them) to help recognize them.
- Removed logiv from the History class
- Used BOOST_FOREACH to simplify loops
- Remove useless annotations and doxygen blocks
- Added some constness
- Marked Training::setRack() as deprecated
- Improved compilation order in game/
- Fixed a crash on Windows
- Do not authorize words if the cross-checks are invalid (it was possible when playing a joker)
- Fixed detextion of invalid moves
- Improved unit tests, and fixed a bug in one of them
Qt interface:
- Do not allow playing a word if the coordinates are missing
- Better focus
- 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
- Initialize the random numbers generator, and print the seed value
- Handle properly Qt builds without STL support
- Save the position of the main window
- Got rid of the useless toolbar
- Better size of the preferences dialog
- Hopefully fixed translation issues on Windows
- The Settings class throws an exception when asked for a non-existing setting
- 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)
- Throw an exception if a regular expresison is invalid
- Handle the exception in callers code
Game:
- Fixed a bug in setRackRandom()
Qt interface:
- Display the dictionary name in the status bar
- Implemented printing
- Translation of the interface into French. The menus have temporarily lost their accelerator keys in English.
- 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
- New regexp parser using Boost.Spirit. Lex and yacc are now gone.
The main advantage of this new parser, apart from being purely C++,
is that it can handle wide characters.
Currently, the new parser does the same as the previous one, but the
code is not yet ready to use regular expressions with non-ASCII
dictionaries.
