3 * Create a partial interface for Variants
4 * Add Variants::getRepository
5 * Implement repository proxies
6 * Move chess types inside the chess plugin
7 * Add a IVariantLoader interface for the plugin system
11 [DONE] * Play from any position.
12 [PARTIALLY DONE] * Implement a real SDI interface.
14 * Configuration dialog.
16 * General: language choice, automatically connect on startup, default variant, etc...
17 * Connection: manage ics connections and options.
18 * [DONE] Highlighting: manage highlighting patterns for the ics console.
19 * [DONE] Animations: animation speed, graphical effects, etc...
20 * [DONE] Theme: manage themes and theme options; choose default theme; associate themes with variants.
21 * [DONE] Movelist: colors, fonts, animations and graphical effects preferences.
22 * [PARTIALLY DONE] Clock: colors and fonts.
23 * [BROKEN] Engine: List of engines, with type, command line options, working path, etc...
27 Many things still have to be done to make the gui really user friendly (think about the Panda):
28 * Message boxes to notify the user of error, for instance while connecting.
29 * Restore a functional status bar.
30 [SKETCHED] * Add some game info between the pools (like "FICS, rated crazyhouse")
31 * Notify the user of Server/Engine events. I don't like the Babaschess-like popup when
32 i get a match request, i'd prefer an amarok-like notification.
36 [DONE] * Set up a decent installation system, maybe with a cool one-click windows (linux?) installer.
37 [MOSTLY DONE] * Improve default highlighting script.
38 [DONE] * Add support for multiple ICS interactions.
39 [MOSTLY DONE] * More robust ICS support: do not crash when testing invalid moves.
40 [DONE] * About dialog.
41 [DOME] * Choose an icon for the application.
45 * Better support for variants in pgn games
47 * Fix examination variant upgrade
48 * Game print support, through khtml?
49 * Ability to define a variant in some script language (ruby or lua or ...)
50 * Complete support for chess engines or variant specific AI.
51 * An advanced Edit Position mode, with the ability to edit a position for
52 an arbitrary variant, as well as the various flags such as the en passant
54 * Improve Examine Mode and Observe Mode:
55 Movelist support for examination is not as extensive as it could, and I don't know if it will ever be.
57 * [FIXED] Crash when going back to the starting position
58 * [FIXED] Moves are sometimes not correctly displayed even where there's enough information available.
59 Future possible features:
60 * Execute move immediately instead waiting the server response, when possible.
61 Note: this may prove hard to implement correctly, because one needs to filter out server responses
62 (after a suitable consistency check) so that they do not cause wrong updates if they come out when they
64 * Display variations correctly in the movelist, instead of always replacing mainline entries.
65 Note: hard to do, because the protocol sends very few information about the reason of a style12 update.
