Re: [XBoard-devel] released 4.4.3

[h.g. muller]

OK,

I built a WinBoard version of 4.4.3 and used it to replace the winboard.exe 
in the installer.
I updated the links in the WinBoard forum download section to point to this 
new installer.
I announced the release on TalkChess, WB forum and Rybka forum.

I noticed the following, which escaped my attention before:
The tarball contains a winboard/parser.c, while the makefiles expect it in 
./parser.c.
As I have flex installed, this is no problem: it just generates a new 
parser.c, and you have to
pay really close attention to notice that it does. But it kind of defeats 
the purpose of including
a parser.c in the tarball.

A second point where I goofed is the Windows HTML help. The project file 
for this
(winboard/help/winboard.hhp) still refers to completely different contents 
and index files
than those in the tree. For me, those files are there, so i did not notice 
it. (Except that
I changed one for this release, and the change did not end up in the index 
of the compiled
help file.) But for others the files won't exist in the place where the 
project file specifies them.
In fact a compiled .chm file is included in the tar ball. I guess I put it 
there myself, when
I registered an enture directory for inclusion in git, but I am not sure if 
it belongs there,
as it is a generated file. Because of the latter reason, I forgot to update 
it when I fixed
the typo in the HTML help source files just before we released. So the .chm 
file in the
tarball is actually an obsolete one. (In previous v4.4.x releases we never 
changed the
help file.)

I have redone the generation with the HTML source files from the tarball, 
and included the
correct .chm file with the 4.4.3 installer I now distribute.

I have also prepared a new installer for a JAWS version. The person who was 
responsible
for the tutorial in that one, wants to update it, however, before we 
actually release that.
So I have not posted or announced a new JAWS version yet.
