RedQueen 1.1.1 (bugfix release)

Post by bhlangonijr »

This bugfix release fixes an error in the aspiration window code (a blunder I made before releasing it. Sorry for the hassle :oops: ). I'd really appreciate if some good soul would test if the 32 bit version is working correctly in a windows 32 bit environment.

The bug is not really blocking, but will cost some Elo to the affected version. I'd like to thanks Marco Costalba, who has caught the blunder right after I released the new version. :D

SVN tag: https://redqueenchess.svn.sourceforge.n ... ease-1.1.1

Thanks,

EDIT: Just noticed that dll file sizes have reduced dramatically. How was this possible? And, can I use these new files with version 1.0.0?
I use mingw32/64 to make the compiles. These dlls come from the compiler distribution. I really have no idea why the file sizes have reduced by so much.
I think it is possible to use the newer dlls with version 1.0.0, but you would have to rename the dlls to match it with the old libraries names. Just a guess.
We can try renaming the pthreadGC2.dll to libpthread-2.dll and put it in the executable folder of a previous version of Redqueen.

EDIT: Anyway, in RedQueen's repository there is a SVN tag of the source for each version of RedQueen since 0.1. One can just recompile whatever version you wish with the newer compiler/libraries.

Thanks,
