I've compiled a new release yesterday, and there's been no major bug reports, so i guess it's ok to announce it properly.
Source - http://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvsp ... z/download
Mac - http://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvsp ... g/download
Windows 32 - http://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvsp ... e/download
Windows 64 - http://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvsp ... e/download
Thanks to everyone who's given me a hand
The Win64 version includes the new (mostly untested) fast file open code that Win32 does not.
Scid vs. PC 4.12 changes since 4.11
Gamelist/Filter fixes. Filter works better with Tree.
New Crosstable tie-break options and reorder Crosstable menus.
Game-result is now shown alongside Player names, at top of GameInfo window.
Middle button in main board toggles game info.
Databases open faster (Linux/OS X only - "avoid the time consuming file locking". Windows is in testing).
Allow dragging Docked Window tabs to alter their order.
Gamelist button/menu changes:
Flag button is now context menu, Gamelist Save is moved to tools->export, Find button removed (use enter in Find entrybox)
Spelling changes:
Update spelling file to a custom version of Franz's Jan-5-2014 spellling.ssp.
Spell-checking can now remove GM, IM, FM, CM, WGM prefixes from player names.
Doing player-name replacements, show how many fail due to age/date considerations.
FICS changes:
Add user-configurable init commands.
Board size slider is now a menu.
Game Offers pack over buttons (making it less crowded, use escape/button-2 to cancel).
New find entrybox to search the console.
Remove Clear button (as getting crowded).
Remove the never used big clocks.
Add start, end sounds (and minor sound fixes - though still buggy).
Dont save FICS aborted games.
Disable engines when playing a FICS game.
Analysis and Annotation changes:
Make 'scoreToMate' work better and faster, which stops occasional incorrect Mate-in-N lines showing up, and works better at near-mate positions.
Make the Annotation config window fit on small displays.
Stop engine at end of annotating a single game.
Try a new approach to Depth-based annotation, which works better, but still needs fine-tuning.
Spanish translation update from Igor Sosa Mayor.
Polish translation update from Adam Umiastowski.
Add a find entrybox to the splash window
Strip PGN Tags improvements
Right-clicking toolbar Game-Save icon quick saves game.
Sound devices can now be selected; mainly useful for Linux systems
Dont insert newlines into PGN copied to text buffer... Some web PGN browsers don't work with newlines following movenum. eg "10.
Nxc3"
Save game history when Scid quits
Remove tree status bar. Same info avail in switcher and tree text widget.
Booktuning nextmove is now highlighted (same as Book), and padding has been tweaked a bit.
Move Maintenance menu from File to Tools menu
Remove the annoying " from myPlayerNames.
Bugfixes:
When saving PGN to file, disable translating pieces. (Export to PGN was already this way).
FICS Digital clocks didnt appear under some circumstances
Undo/redo refinement/fix for when buffer has been full
Fix import issue - Sometimes first tag is lost (If UTF byte order mark is present)
MSWindows - Board keyboard bindings are were getting lost after Variation window popup is dismissed.
Some tooltip refinements, including removing tooltips with board update (mask tooltips were erroneously persistent).
Tablebase window: Results Board was not getting packed (is now below Results Frame). Change the damn awful red, update help, give tbWin the widest paned window.
With wish8.6, we cant close undocked windows with a Close button. Fix
Some fixes for javascript and html game exports
Correctly handle plain text crosstables.

Re: Scid vs. PC 4.12
you did a very good job - i like it
ve installed it under debian, works pretty good
could you please put in more options for time control
such as 40 moves in xx minutes repeating
that would be pretty good
thanx
