Hi,
Hello dear testers, it has been a long time since the last Arena version, but now it is here! If you have tested Arena in the past and also sent bugreports please drop me an e-mail. If you just want Arena, wait.
Please send Martin and me all bug reports so we can fix problems. If you
include a screenshot of the whole Arena window, log files and a detailled
description to reproduce the problem, you would make life for us much easier.
Please do not only test the new features, but also old ones. Old functions have also been optimised and therefore something might be broken.
The german help file is not finished yet, read the english.chm for a description of the new functions.

* Rare PGN loading errors fixed
* Arena reads short comments (! ? etc) from PGNs, also in PGN book import
* Opening classification improved (compares position instead of move sequence)
* Java engines easier selectable
* Arena uses less CPU time in demo and tournament mode
* Bugs where tournament area fonts not selectable removed
* Bundles engines: Rybka and Spike updated
Supported NAGS in PGN for Book import:
1 good move (traditional "!")
2 poor move (traditional "?")
3 very good move (traditional "!!")
4 very poor move (traditional "??")
7 forced move (all others lose quickly)
8 singular move (no reasonable alternatives)
9 worst move

17 Black has a moderate advantage
18 White has a decisive advantage
19 Black has a decisive advantage

Happy testing and all the best for the new year!
