Raptor .94b Released

[cday]

Raptor .94b has been released. There is another version planned before
the end of the year that will contain minor changes. Possibly Kozyr's
seek graph, and engine integration. After that development will slow
down. I am going to switch over to the [http://code.google.com/p/
morphy-chess-server/ Morphy] project and try and get that going and
attract developers. If you find any bugs with 94b please report them
promptly so I have a chance to add them to the next release. Otherwise
you might be waiting a while for the changes.

Thanks,
Carson

Once more telnet -like -ics chess server?

hmm.

I think about this long time in past, and decide that its bad idea in
general. Mostly its a main reason why bics developing so slow.

telnet-ics idea bad now (may it was good in 80-years). Why you want
write alot of code about network, parsing inputs, etc etc.
For now we have alot of libraries and ideas. Need multiuser network ?
okey , take a ready one, something xmpp based, and you need not write
tons of code. Just new plugin for ejabberd and we have all what we need
for routing messages between server/clients. (and also ! we can have
distributed network of servers here)

Dont do new stupid generate and parse code for style12 or match requests
- do schema, and use xml, and you need not tons of parsers and text
generators.

Why i dont do this in bics? cos i have not any interface , only thief.
And not fan of programming GUI.
Today when you have so much pretty raptor, why duplicate all this old
shits with bad fics ideas?

Good point. it also solves some problems I was trying to resolve
around internationalization. I will check out xmpp.
