Jin is an open source, cross-platform, graphical client (interface) for the Internet Chess Club and the Free Internet Chess Server. What's New: Version 2.12.1 Fixed a bug in the main console preferences dialog which prevented users from changing (almost) any of the settings there. Vastly improved piece loading time and memory usage by not preloading all the images of the piece set; duh. On OS X version 10.2 Jin will use the inside-the-window menubar due to bugs in the native OS X menubar with Java. Added the JGoodies Looks: Windows, Plastic, Plastic 3D and Plastic XP. Fixed a bug which may have caused problems if more than 5 people sent you a tell during a single session. Fixed a bug on OS X where if you closed Jin with the main window maximized, the next time you ran it, the main window would not show at all. The clock's text is now drawn in gray on "inactive" boards (either the game has finished or you are looking at an isolated position from some game). Added a "Download Extras" button on the board preferences panel (the "Board Looks" tab) which currently sends the user's browser to http://www.jinchess.com/extras/ Jin's output and error streams are now written into ~/.jin/log in addition to stdout and stderr. Made the size of the font for the board buttons a bit smaller. Updated the arrows-circles script example on the website to work with Jin 2.12.1 Implemented proper response to the unarrow and uncircle commands on ICC. Also, (right) dragging another arrow where one already exists or (right) clicking where a circle already exists will now remove the arrow or circle (and send the corresponding unarrow/uncircle command to the server). Trying to capture your own piece in standard chess will now be rejected immediately, instead of sending to the server. Fixed a bug where your clock would not resume ticking if you tried to make an illegal move (only on ICC). Move legality checking (which is still incomplete) is now applied to regular moves too (in addition to premo |  |
