Hi all,

I just uploaded BGBlitz 2.7.2 and BGblitz2go 2.3.0.

BGBlitz 2.7.2 is a bug fix release. Several errors are fixed:

  • when TachiAI III was used, the level of play was always Expert, independent of the selected playing strength. What a pain for casual players this must have been. Sorry!
  • under heavy load the wrong dice could be displayed. Fortunately this was rare.
  • a memory leak was plugged
  • some erroneous Tutor hints were removed
  • a deadlock could happen pressing ^G if ^F was already pressed

and some small improvements:

  • at the first roll, one dice is shown on the left and one on the right side of the board
  • BGBmips support for 3, 6 and 12 CPUs
  • improved visibility of numbers on white checkers
  • better detection of usable screen area on Linux
  • drag & drop support for position database files

For Windows users: please uninstall the old version before updating BGBlitz.

Many thanks to Achim Hoff, Alain Redlinger, Dahn Tamir, David Ayton, Dennis Wolfe, John Wiltshire, Kenneth Loafman, Luc Pauws, Maurice Kemman, Michael Schade, Philip Cherrington, Philip Thomas, Thomas Hipschman, Rick Matthes, Tom McShane and to all of the people who have provided error reports, making suggestions or helping in any other way to improve BGBlitz.

If you want to have access to early and beta versions of BGBlitz, just drop me an email. You have earlier access and can influence the further development.

I strongly recommend updating.

BGBlitz2go 2.3.0 provides following improvements:

  • added support for the Jacoby rule
  • much better drawing performance, especially visible on Blackberrys
  • To improve the usability for devices with a full keyboard, all functions reachable through numerical keys are now reachable through alpha keys too. "e" is for evaluation, "b" for best moves, "p" for pipcount, "w" shows the history of winning probabilities and finally "r" shows the next three dice rolls
  • detect changes in the screen dimension and reinitializes accordingly. Useful for phones with automatic landscape/horizon change
  • the splash-screen can be closed with any key
  • fixed: in 2-player mode with touch screens White had to point to the opposing point
  • fixed: the Nackgammon setting was ignored during a match
  • fixed: with a rotated board the checkers were painted as eggs
  • fixed: Samsung Omnia 2 could not register
  • fixed: winning props didn't show after the last game in a match

ciao
Frank
