3	Fix Build-depends: to depend on specific X11 libraries rathe... Fix Build-depends: to depend on specific X11 libraries rather than obsoleted xlibs-dev (Closes: #346674)	Hwei Sheng Teoh	4.1-4	18 years ago
2	* New upstream release. * New upstream release. * This is the Just Before A Major Overhaul release. There are very few cosmetic changes, but a lot of internal improvement especially in the AI. The following entries are summarized from the (admittedly less readable) TODO file. * Visible changes: - Fixed ncurses interface which fails to render the board background properly under some terminals. This is a hack; it is likely a libncurses bug related to the mutt bleeding backgrounds bug. - AI player now has a real, properly-implemented min-max algorithm with alpha/beta pruning. The default difficulty level (-d2) is now quite challenging; -d3 and above are now very tough to beat. - Some cosmetic improvements in the ncurses interface. * Internal changes: - Fixed some bugs in the event loop - Fixed a major event loop sequencing problem. Man these things are tricky. - Event loop now has timers, although they aren't used by anything in this release. (Not anything linked into the game, that is.) There are also other significant improvements to the event loop code. - Added profiling code to help with AI optimization (game trees that grow with O(n!) are NOT fun to search at high depths...) - Preliminary network gaming code. Sorry, this is currently not in a sufficiently advanced stage for you to actually play a network game yet. The code is currently not actually linked into the game. * About version numbers: - Hindsight is 20-20, as they say. The first Debian release bore a version number of 4-1, which I now realize was a mistake. The game's internal version number was 1.1 (as those who played the ncurses interface might have noticed); the 4 came from an archive number I use to maintain codebases. I refuse to roll the epoch just because of this, so to fix this inconsistency, I've bumped the internal version number to 4.1 and using 4.1-1 for the Debian version. This is an unfortunate unintentional version bloat. :-( - Atom-4 will likely reach 4.infinity before 5.0. * debian/control: grammatical correction	Hwei Sheng Teoh	4.1-1	21 years ago
