Brave testers of Picochess 4 - Master branch has been updated

[Johan Sjöblom]

If you have problems you can open an issue or post a message here :-)

When you upgrade the next time you will get the following:

- More resolutions supported by web client and hide mute button on localhost etc

- A technical change to the eboard communication (asynchronous). Its a first step before we start to use a newer Bluetooth version. I would like to know if there are some eboards there that do not work any more after this. Or if they possibly work better?

- when you start picochess and hear the "OK" message you know that the eboard has connected

- Improved uploading and reading PGN games.

- More stabilisation stuff... For instance, joining with a mobile phone or other browser in the middle of the game should now immediately show the correct position

Here is a selection of the technical changes since my post 23 Nov (which has the 4.1.8 list)

Thanks Randy, and a big thanks to all the testers. Without testing we can not improve the quality or features.

[Johan Sjöblom]

OK

Now Antonio's new web client is in master. The version should now show up as 4.1.9.

There are also improved Spanish translations :-)
