SPEC for gnuchess 6.0.2

I modified the SPEC file of gnuchess 5.08 (also cross referenced the gnuchess-6.0.1 spec file from SUSE Linux), generated the latest book data (1.02), and successfully packaged gnuchess 6.0.2.  The new version is much stronger (it beats Crafty 23.0 in the 5min game).

SRC RPM for gnuchess 6.0.2

The source rpm, which has the generated book.bin file (from book_1.02.pgn).

Comment 6 Ling Li 2012-05-11 14:36:35 UTC
Oops, I forgot to change one comment at line 9 of the spec file.  The source for the binary book data file should be changed from book_1.01.png.gz to book_1.02.png.gz.

Version 6.0.2 (March 2012)

- New option --addbook to compile a book.
- Maximum file name length of EPD files extended to 127 characters.
- Book file allowed to be read only unless the BookLearn option is set.

Version 6.0.1 (August 2011)

- Allow kibitz for solve command.
- If gnuchess.ini is not found, report error before prompt.
- Fix 'book on' command.
- Fix 'book add' command.
- Insert sleep(0) in adapter thread - prevents from crash for
solveepd with st 30.
- Typo in info file: 'book.dat' replaced by 'book.bin'.
- Correct INSTALL: 'cd src' before './gnuchess'
- Remove some unused code.

Version 6.0.0 (27 April 2011)

- First official release of GNU Chess version 6!
- iq6.epd no longer included in the distribution - stored in Subversion.

Version 5.9.92 (24 April 2011)

- Implement 'book *' commands as in v5.
    (Implemented by extending the protocol messages between frontend and 
    adapter. Engine book options uncontrollable, since I am more reluctant
    to modify the protocol between adapter and engine (UCI), but it could 
    be done.)
- Implement v5 command 'hash on/off'.
    (UseTrans to be variable and driven by new option.)
- Implement v5 command 'null on/off'.
    (UCI option NullMove Pruning)
- Implement v5 command memory.
    (UCI option UseTrans)
- Implement v5 command memory N.
    (UCI option Hash)
- Remove v5 commands hashsize/hashsize N. Memory command replaces them.
- Hard mode at startup.
- Implement v5 command-line options not working in the previous version:
    --post
    --easy
    --manual
    --memory
- All pieces of text doc transformed into texinfo.
- Include v5 script gnuchessx for xboard mode.
- Implement script gnuchessu for UCI mode, similar to gnuchessx.
- Set writing to adapter.log to false by default.
- Default config so that the config file gnuchess.ini is not mandatory.

Version 5.9.91 (14 January 2011)

- Relax dependency on config file gnuchess.ini

New in gnuchess 5.9.90 (10 January 2011, first pretest version of v6.0.0)

- Fruit 2.1 engine, by Fabien Letouzy
- Polyglot 1.4 adapter, by Fabien Letouzy
- Three decoupled components: frontend, engine and adapter
- UCI mode, providing UCI interface, through -u/--uci command-line option.
